Magpies v Tasman

[Steven Harris]

Tackling is something you can coach ,but at the end of the tackling comes from the heart..on saying that credit to Ta$man..they are showing they are a quality team and have showed the Magpies the upmost respect by naming their best team today when they could of rested guys...very impressive from the visitors

[Nepia]

Worst time for us to get Ta$man really, hopefully it doesn't do too much mental damage leading into the finals.

[Stargazer]

Well, we had a good first half. That's all.

@Chris-B said in Hawke's Bay v Ta$man:

@Chris That was Leicester, not Tima.

Opps Yeah Thats who I thought was mentioned but it was Tima

[Yeetyaah]

@Chris Leicester signed for 3 years. Hopefully Lotima goes for another contract somewhere other than the Crusaders. Too many good outsides.

@Yeetyaah said in Hawke's Bay v Ta$man:

Too many food outsides.

They're big boys but that's a bit rude.

[Yeetyaah]

@Chris-B Nankivell has really improved this year, starting with his time at the Chiefs.

[Chris B.]

@Yeetyaah Tima should find a contract somewhere. He's not got the same size as Leicester, but he's plenty good enough.

So to summerise

• We didn't show enough heart
• Full credit to Ta$man
• real game of two halfs
• some things to work on before next week
• back to the drawing board
  -thanks to the ladies in the kitchen

[Stargazer]

Good time to sub Dixon. It's a lost cause, so give him an early exit.

I thought the Landers or Chiefs would look at signing Tima but haven’t heard anything
No Crusaders don’t need any more outside backs they are looking at Mid Field back up options I believe

Yeah - he's possibly NZ's most improved player. Last year he wasn't starting for the Mako - now he's likely a contender for the ABs 2020 midfield - assuming SBW and Crotty are both gone.

I disagree with the "We didn't show enough heart" bit.

@Stargazer was just trying to roll out as many cliches as possible for the post game interview.

[Nepia]

Sweet, we win best try of the game.

[Stargazer]

That was a beauty! Great team try from Makene

[Yeetyaah]

Comeback time?

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Not enough time. But a few more tries would be nice.

Especially when Ta$man continues to play a prop at centre!
