The Silver Fern

@UpTheHarbs said in North Harbour v Southland:

FINALLY!!!

Harbour really dug in for that last 10 minutes and played some solid footy. They got a bit of luck on that sequence with 90 seconds remaining and Southland knocked on. Good win.

@jimmyb said in Otago v North Harbour:

Only just watched the game, Millar has had a good few games in a row. Pleasing to see

He's really benefited from not having to be the primary playmaker.

@nostrildamus he was into everything. Full game. One try and did he core jobs well.

@taniwharugby said in North Harbour v Northland:

I'd say 9 times out of 10 we dont win that.

That's the difference this year, a bit more mental strength.
Saw this game as a mental battle, NH starting to get super desperate to try and get something out of the wreckage, and Taniwha starting to show a bit of [fragile type] form.
If they execute a little better, they'd start to get difficult to beat.
Always a good feeling when you get the W, and you know you can play better.
Still two games, might nail it yet.

Cakobau's try was a great moment of brillance.

Hawkes Bay nowhere near their best but still good enough to find another gear when it mattered awesome team watch when they get on a roll
Was impressed with Harbours physicality but it’s fair to say their 10 had night to forget

@delicatessen said in Manawatu v North Harbour:

Laumape started his AB's return campaign on the right note. First touch was a dinky chip to no space just outside his 22 with no advantage. Lovely.

There's that kicking game all his supporters love to talk up.

I was one of those when he left lol. Certainly was never his main drawcard tho.

@Mr-Fish he’s not playing this week.

How did EDG look?

Well that was enjoyable. Canterbury lucky to come second in that one.

Boring maul tries ...

i expected more this season . . . decent squad and decent coach
definitely thought a 500 team
but it's taken them so long to get organised that the seasons f'd
more disappointed than usual . . haha

Hmm Manawatu are really not very good without Cruden

Enjoyable game

Hall needs to take the L and not cry to the ref after the game.

Simpson is a real talent for just 18.

Che Clark needs more minutes

Tangitau looked impressive all game

Exciting finale 33-36 counties win

@Yeetyaah said in North Harbour v Waikato:

Fark me that chip from the ranga was crazy

Not just a ranga mate, a maori ranga. Can be quite unpredictable at times.

Yep, I got the impression the ref and tjs were waiting for tmo calls which never came. Looked like obvious infringements from the sideline.
