He was a much bigger attacking threat around the ruck...!

Excellent result for BoP over harbour who have played well until now. Eklund, Selby Ricket and the forwards in general led the way in the first half. Eklund could teach a few NZ hookers a lesson in line out throwing, incredibly accurate today.

Trask was in complete control all day and solid with the boot. As good as it was, you would love to see him replicate some of that accuracy at Super level as you know he can do it.

The team really played well as a unit and probably held their nerve longer with a ref who was tough on any penalty in an opposing 22. Really good effort today and they should be happy with that

@Tim yeah today he hit everything.. well aware this is not every week

@bayimports Pod Turner was pumping him up big time. Our line out has been great this year. Scrum not too shabby too

Poor effort from Harbour forwards I thought. Don't know how Tolai got away with earlier lineout throws.
Telea was best on the park but MSR Ah Kuoi and Eklund v good also.
