Worryingly the scrum looked awful. Almost all other executuion points just come with playing together and not a bad first hit out. That kid Tanimo looks like an exciting prospect.

There seemed to be a fair bit of scrum practice at Blake Park this morning for the squad.

Given Aidin Ross didnt play either probably didnt help.. but noticeable nonetheless
good to see them getting stuck in!

I watched the game last night and wasn't totally impressed. The Force completely dominated territory and possession for most of the game. The Bays set piece (as has been mentioned) wasn't flash and we showed little on attack.
It was a typical pre season game however with plenty of mistakes and player positional switches (at one stage we had two half backs playing and even Tanurau Latimar [the coach] played 10 minutes.) The rain didn't help and we were without several of the topline players so I'm not sure what can be read into it but it was nice to see some of the new players getting game time. As bayimports said we should get better by playing together more.
I understand the team is announced on the 27th and the next pre season game is against North Harbour next week.

Bay win 38-14 over Counties in the pre season match

Is he injured?@bay-boy-tim He had a knee injury requiring arthroscopic surgery in late April/early May. They said at the time that the expected recovery time was two to three months; so - all going well - he should be back in August.
