Arscott is rubbish. Don't know why he keeps on getting picked ahead of Hastie

Hastie not even on the bench lol. Like seriously?

I have no idea what the fuss is about Arscott. Just offers nothing.

I've no idea about McClea. I think Arscott is more than serviceable, and would be quicker than Hastie, but McClea is just so shit.

[taniwharugby]

take the points...

[kev]

Offside at ruck. What a shit call

[Gunner]

No accuracy, story of our game.

[taniwharugby]

@kev 14 to go should have taken the points

[kev]

Hawkins came off wing

[Stargazer]

Very patient from Otago. Good team try.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer it was excellent patience, 17 phases to put Northland away now.

[KiwiMurph]

All from a Sam Gilbert linebreak/linebreak create

I think Hastie is a much offers a lot more around the ruck and with ball in hand. I don't really have much of an opinion around what their distribution is like.

[Gunner]

That was a tough penalty, 2 Otago tacklers didn’t roll away there

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner not sure they were even on the ball either

edit - were but didnt allow a release

[taniwharugby]

no way was that drop by Hawkins back...bit lucky there

[frugby]

Hard watch, but I'll take the win I suppose. Still plenty to do to make the eight.

[taniwharugby]

we always back up a good game with a poor game.

Otago showed good patience and got over a dozen phases multiple times, we were far too inaccurate

[fidz71]

Season over. Northland were dreadful.

Not sure either of these sides will threaten the playoffs, they certainly won't threaten the semis.

[fidz71]

Fair call mate. We are such an inconsistent side, play like contenders one week and then like bumbling fools. Credit to Otago though, a pretty good performance at the end of storm week.
