The Silver Fern

Looks like Rameka Poihipi is leaving

Never in doubt

So what actually is the ruling for batting it back in? He was in touch before he jumped, bumped the ball in, then landed in touch.

Shit helluva ball to TCS for that try

Piss poor defence gg go again next year Waikato

@Steven-Harris said in Auckland v Waikato:

Waikato subbed the wrong guy off ,should have been the fullback

No clue why he's at fullback and Moorby on the wing, should be the other way around.

Mason Tupaea has been horrible.

Mcwhannell dumbass getting screamed at by the red to get back onside and still doesn't move

Ref says use it 3 times then gives a penalty anyway

Geez this is a tough watch during general play

@Bovidae said in NPC 2025:

@Yeetyaah Have you seen the full squad? My info on Fale was from the father of one of the players.

I have seen the team yeah. It'll be released very shortly.

Josh Moorby and Lima Sopoaga both in the Waikato team. A lot of the same squad members. Micah Fale doesn't seem to be in the main squad.

Waikato season launch on tomorrow morning at 6.30am. Crazy how late they've left it lmao.

@Snollygoster-0 said in BOP 2025:

Poihipi is already ruled out for the season

He tore his ACL during Super

@UpTheHarbs Only going on what I've just been told by their official socials, can post the screenshot to please you if needed

Chucked Waikato a DM on Instagram and they said the squads are out on Tuesday.

@Bovidae said in NPC 2025:

I don't even know if Waikato has played a pre-season game. Hawke's Bay might be the only team that was available to play based on who was/is playing each other.

They apparently played Hawkes Bay yesterday in Taupō but there's no info anywhere.

@Bovidae great news, stoked to hear my source be incorrect, will know not to trust his word from now on

@frugby said in NPC 2025:

I’m bravely going to try predict the NPC

I'll do the same with no bias at all.

1. Waikato
   2-14. Everyone else.

Why did he kick it
