Highlanders Kings, Super Bang Bang

[SouthernMan]

A grad total of 38 people in the crowd.

[Stargazer]

<p>Sad to see so many empty seats in that stadium again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Btw, Marty Banks is out with a hamstring injury, so Sopoaga is starting & Fletcher Smith on the bench.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>C'mon Landers, I didn't get up early to be bored to sleep again. I expect a try fest!</p>

[broughie]

<p>I want my margin covered damn it.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Toma seems a bit overawed by the occasion of his debut, his throwing's not very accurate so far</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Finally, after 22 minutes the first try (Faddes).</p>

[Tordah]

<p>thats the worst half the Highlanders have played this season, surely</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>The Landers don't seem to be able to pass tonight. </p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Missed tackle from Emery and the Kings score a try. I don't remember seeing the Highlanders play so bad before, this season. They sure miss the likes of Ben and Aaron Smith. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>10-8 Highlanders at half time.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>absolute horror show, HT, Landers lead 10-8</p>

[broughie]

<p>Continuity thing with all the subs and then injury replacements before game.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Second try Faddes in the 45th minute. </p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Try Dan Pryor. Sops misses the conversion. Highlanders lead 20 to 8 after 55 minutes.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>And the Kings are in again, Holy shit what a shitter than shit game from the Highlanders. They should put 50 on these guys, instead it's only 20 to 18 in their favour.</p>

[broughie]

<p>So Tongia off but the other wing who has been average stays on.  Is this something to do why he is not playing more?</p>

[JAF]

<p>Don't </p>

<p>Has Wilson even touched the ball tonight?</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>I should have asked that question sooner. Now he scores a try!</p>

[SouthernMan]

This has been embarrassing. One more try please and limp away with the bonus point.

[broughie]

<p>Always happens and yes.  I remember him kicking it out on the full otherwise absent.</p>
