NPC Final: Wellington vs Bay of Plenty
-
if someone can put some blue stripes across a few rows of all those empty yellow seats we might even pretend its a home game.
I dont think there was much chance of Sangster coming back, but Ross went off injured last week as well, he will be crucial as well so hopefully he can play.
Im not confident, but we have had a couple of really close battles last couple of years, dont think we are a sure thing beaten.@bayimports said in NPC Final: Wellington vs Bay of Plenty:

i went to a certain game at the Caketin in 2001 that we were no chance of winning and look what happened?

How good is this match-up on Saturday. The player that performs best on Saturday could go along way in determining the result. Those offload stats from Higgins are insane and Halaholo has the ability to beat defenders at will.

@Canes4life Yip Higgins offload game is what really sets him apart. Strong body and good pace but his ability to free up the ball is amazing.

@george33 Heard that 2 BUT JGB is due to be back as is PUJ
Good news re PUJ but meh re JGB, I suppose Harkin didn't have the best game last week so probably not a massive down-grade at this point.
Jeez Dane aye, how cool would that be. He won't let the jersey down and would be a massive upgrade to Apisai.

JGB 100 x games
On a negative note ticket sales are not going well according to a contact at the Union office which is a real shame with the bad weather and the long weekend possibly 3-5k.
Its a real shame this is going to be one hell of a match up
I suspect Wellington Rugby cant wait until their contract with the Sky stadium expires then a shift is well truly on the cards -

@Steven-Harris oh but I like the $12 chips and $12 cups of beer.

And ticket prices that haven't changed for 20 years. I'd be there in a heartbeat but have family commitments with my daughter and won't get home until just before kick-off.

@Canes4life I’m not going because this is incredibly stupid but the last two NPC finals I went too we lost. So hoping if I don’t go we’ll win. But seriously I’ve already taken my boy to a game and is more into the Phoenix now that he’s playing Football.

Would be good for them to state how many mins played for each player when showcasing these match-ups. I think Broughton has played quite a few more games than Shields this year, likewise with Higgins who I'd say has taken the field a fair few more times more than Halaholo but could be wrong.

@barky1 wasn't it always 3.05pm? I think 2.30pm is build up on Sky.

Willis has played every game despite Reon Paul playing better. Only came right last couple of matches. Higgins has not played all matches.
