@Nepia even though you are a HB fan, I'd have bought you a beer if you had let me know and stopped in!

You just like beer.

The intention 3 days earlier was to stop in at Whangarei (heard so many stories about the place during Uni days) but also we ran out of time. I'm still keen to get up to Okara Park some day (I plan to visit all the NPC grounds at some stage - probably already been to 3/4s).

@taniwharugby agree 100% with that.

Seems like my guys are going to try and smash you up front looking at the 6 - 2 split on the reserve bench.
-
@Higgins TBH it isnt our forwards I am overly concerned about.
-
@taniwharugby Maybe that's why The Bay are willing to risk having a few forwards filling in out in the backs if injuries make it necessary!
@Higgins I have no idea what our side will look like, we have a few injury concerns, plus some other issues that I am not sure if personnel changes will fix.
But this is my starting 15
Te Whata-Colley, Olsen, Tu'ungafasi
Goodhue, Caird
McNamara, Matiu, Matich
Levien, J-Deb,
Gregory, Cherrington (debut)
Leilua, Rae, Roberts-Te Nanavery raw team, especially in the backs, but TBH, after last week, we need to do something and I dont think we can be worse, particularly in the mid-field. Unsure if the tactics are the issue or the players, but both looked poor v Taranaki.

Leilua, Rae, Roberts-Te NanaOh for fuck sakes. This just gets better.
Can only hope guys like Robinson and Tua are good to go, if not, we are up shit creek. Typical.
Hawke’s Bay fans must be jizzing into their cornflakes reading this thread...

19 Setefano Funaki
in from the Dev team...
Not sure on Stokes at 7, I had hoped last year he might re-invent himself as a 7, but he played 8 at OBM and looks like he bulked up a bit on the off season and lost a bit of pace.
Look forward to seeing more of Byrne.

You guys are trying to hard with the excuses and doom and gloom, you're always a tough proposition up in the Northland boon docks even when you don't have your boy Steve Walsh on board.

Cut it out bro, you guys will be cock-a-hoop. We are sitting ducks in this one!

We're so scared of your powerful pack we've named an extra forward on the bench. You guys should walk, you'll run up 50.
