The Silver Fern

Young Jacomb has had quite a game for the Naki, tonight.

Also good on Harbour for not giving up, despite being well behind.

@J77 loosie is probably the one area we are served well currently, and even looking at the next line of players in club that were in and around the Dev squad and the age group ones, plenty to like there, plus the whispers of who I hear they are looking at too...

But we really need to be looking very hard at mid-field options (that dont include Blake) and probably a couple of tight forwards too.

Another win for harbour - 3 on the trot after a pretty poor start to the season

But where was Shaun Stevenson? Rested, injured or potentially on standby for a trip to france?

@akan004 I think that's correct. The residency period of 5 years starts running from the age of 18 years, unless a player was already financially independent from his parents/caregivers before that age or the parents have moved here as well before the player turns 18. These exceptions don't apply in case of Fabian Holland. He turned 18 in 2020.

How did the Harbour scrum go? Norris and Dyer and very good props.

What a break away from rugby!

I decided to register nothing that happened during the preceding eight days - like a tree falling in the forest, I saw and heard nothing, so none of it happened. My reality is better than most of yours - and the skiing was fabulous!

So, Ta$man continue their winning ways.

And off to the TAB now to plank a small fortune on the ABs winning RWC! 🙂

Cantabs bench provided some good spark.

Burke had a mare with the boot.

Harbour play a decent style.

I was joking, of course, but I could see him in the WTG.

@Nogusta said in QF - North Harbour v Auckland:

@Tim Hickey 10, Plummer 12
, Lam 13, RTS 14

"Late change for Auckland with Hickey at 10"

More like

"Team is as @Nogusta suggested 4 days ago".

Yea strange why they didn't just list them with their actual playing numbers the last couple of games?

@JK said in Southland v North Harbour:

Big game next week then vs Auckland at home.

You going to Albany for it?

Probably not. Twilight golf starts this Friday so will watch in the club house after

Poor effort from Harbour forwards I thought. Don't know how Tolai got away with earlier lineout throws.
Telea was best on the park but MSR Ah Kuoi and Eklund v good also.

@Stargazer said in Canterbury v North Harbour:

@Nevorian Owen Bell, is that a cross between George Bell and Owen Franks?

That’s him what a beast

Shit weekend for someone who supports Harbour, AB's and Fulham.

I only saw the last half hour (didn't want to start drinking any earlier) but I thought Hawkes Bay were quite lucky. Not that Harbour deserved to win but could easily have gone the other way.

@Chris-B said in North Harbour v Ta$man:

Meant to say earlier - that Jed Melvin looks promising.

He's very promising, although in this game I thought he faded a little bit. He'd be worth getting into a SR squad now and see how much he improves with pro training

I like the physicality, a similar style to Cane/Papali'i etc

@Dice he was like a different player at the chiefs this year though and for the Maori. Hopefully turned a corner mentally, skill and pace to burn just needed to not be too cool to apply himself.
