The Silver Fern

<p>I've just checked out the stats for the first round of the competition for all the teams (Premiership and Championship) and it doesn't make pretty reading.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BOP came second to last in the number of clean breaks</p>
<p>Last in the number of carries</p>
<p>Second to last in the number of metres</p>
<p>Last in the number of defenders beaten</p>
<p>Third to last in the number of off loads.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its pretty clear from those that we have deficiencies on attack. </p>

<p>cmon the bay</p>

<p>Isn't Nemani still in France? I believe Bardoul is Japan bound.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Squad looks good - a lot of hookers, but I assume now that Coles is injured, Harris will be required for the ABs (would have been anyway). Very light on locks, but only Retallick was involved in Super - and that was very sparingly. Maybe the loosies can cover somewhat - but I don't see a lot of height anywhere there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Young backline, but if we have some intent, we'll go well. Lacking perhaps a General, but maybe Haimona will take this role. I didn't see it when he played for Italy, but Parisse tended to hog everything. Would have liked to see Evemy in the centres somewhere...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bring on the season!</p>

<p>As well as making tickets for the domain $20 (which they should have done last season), there are free buses after 10am for ticket holders so you can hop on a bus for a hearty lunch with beers, watch the game, celebrate a glorious win and catch a bus home.</p>
