Auckland v Northland

@Chiefy07 but thats my point on Ranger, yes he has always played like this, but he needs to adapt now he is a little slower and maybe not as strong, assuming he wants to play on for another season or 2, for him to find success I think he needs to adjust his game slightly.
Only part our coaches play in that is ensuring they deliver that message to him consistently so he tries to adapt and play to the high level that he is still capable of.
As to Macilai, rocks and diamonds, poor handling and defence, but agree he still has something going forward.

@Chiefy07 I am not sure we would have won with Hawkins. We would have won with a first five eight that kicks well and leads the team around the park. Hawkins kicks have no length, he takes ages to wind up and kick and has been charged down this year because of it. I prefer Wiseguy to him because he carries at the line better. However that said Wiseguy and Johnny also need to work on their kicking games. I think thy both have more upside.
