@Nepia Latta > oliver, anton was almost as bad as coltmans at lineout thows, 171 games and his nickname is "Crazy"...come on

brewer was a toss up, was goign to swap but the deadline beat me

Oliver was a 50 test AB, Latta was a decent NPC player with a cult following, it really shouldn't have been a contest ....

@Nepia said in Ultimate NPC: - Otago:

How did Brewer miss out on this team and Pene make it? Justify yourself Otago-ites. 😉

Because Brewer pissed off to Canterbury? 😉

Ok, you've convinced me. 😉

Hisa Sasagi is retiring from rugby.

Wow what a game I just saw the highlights well done Northland.

@Siam said in Otago vs Canterbury (RS):

18 year

Pffft. Fcking newbies.

@Stargazer said in Otago vs Waikato (Ranfurly Shield):

@Bones Are you really surprised? Despite him being in the AB7s squad for a couple of years now?

Yeah, he's never looked express. Wasn't sure if he was going to crack 15s either but looks like he's having a good season?

I think he missed out on 2019 SR because sides had their 6/8's picked early.

His 2018 NPC form was too late

@shark I thought Lentjes was carrying an injury, so was benched.

Outrageously bad refereeing for the Koroi try with the Otere Black obstruction.

Makes my head explode.

Thanks for your answer. Poor guy, this may hamper his chances of winning a call for the next SR season for which he has been conditioning all year long.

I thought Koroi was a fullback/wing? Why would they bother with him there. Rats that Ioane was unable to play. Maybe they could use someone like Fletcher Smith in their team.

Wait.

@bovidae Cat's out of the bag then.

@damo don’t worry about missing the game,there was about 25,000 empty seats that missed the game as well..
But congratulations all the same..!

@stargazer said in Otago vs Ta$man:

Phew, no bonus point for Otago. That's good for the Bay, who'll play Ta$man next.

So all you Bay fans will be cheering for Waikato next Sat. 😉

Definitely has the potential to be a great Super Rugby player, he’ll be in and around the squad but another year with NZ 20’s & M10 before Super Rugby wont hurt. Love how he keeps things straight & attacks the line constantly, better first five defender than most. Looks to be trying too hard to win like most Steamers at the moment, hopefully they can just let loose against Southland and will see his best. Goal kicking definitely a major work on struggled at Jock Hobbs as well as M10.

We'll likely get Faiane and Nanai back next week, and hopefully Gibson. Whetton looks like he won't recover in 6 days though.

Lock looks concerning for the Wellington game.

It might be just Lamalu, Olmstead and Lane as the fit locks?

Looks like that's the case.

I wonder if Fatialofa is coming back at all. He was not meant to be out this long and he wasn't listed as being out for the season.
