Steamers v Waikato

A pretty green forward pack, but playing even worse...

I'm ok with the fact that bop is total garbage right now but the referre is a fucking mess giving everything he can to waikato, even missing their knock ons

@nakosi Classic Mabey, we've copped his shit since he was the gimp on the Radio Sport Breakfast

Gutless shit from BoP. Lineouts still shit, getting the ball then kicking it. No fucking direction

Hooroo

DRIVE IT WAIKATO!!!!

I was worried about the inexperience in the forward pack before the game, but that was worse than I thought.

If the game continues like this, it could get ugly for BOP.

BOP couldn't buy a trick tonight. But a good win for the Mooloo boys.

It was like watching the teams from the late 1980s-early 1990s with all those lineout drives/mauls.

The likes of Tucker, Smith and Jacobson had huge games. I hope Colin Cooper was watching and looks further afield than the Taranaki reserve bench.

Anyone else think the BOP and Waikato jerseys are too similar for tv? If they zoom in, it's fine, but from further away, it's hard to distinguish them.

Waikato and Taranaki's jerseys clash more. I was surprised that Waikato didn't wear their alternative jersey in that game.

shameful season ending loss for the bay

@nakosi mate, the sun will still rise tomorrow. Have a good look at the draw, it's not too bad. If you're still down then go for bush walk or fishing, or just catch up with a mate or someting. You'll be OK

I'm having a bad feeling about this game - didn't need some of the top performers out and putting players in for first starts in key positions.

But I'm naturally pessimistic.

I hate being spot on ..... semis not impossible with the direct competition still to play but starting to look like we'll need to win them all.
