Match thread

@KiwiMurph same guy who thought Benji Marshall would be great rugby player..!

Stargazer

Great try from Taufua after an even greater pass from Squire.

Stargazer

19 - 3 to Ta$man. To think how many opportunities Ta$man have missed thus far ... it could have been way worse.

@Stargazer said in Ta$man v Manawatu:

Great try from Taufua after an even greater pass from Squire.

Throwing around the term great rather liberally.

@Stargazer looking like a training run for Ta$man

Stargazer

@Steven-Harris I'm starting to wonder whether Southland might get over Manawatu this season.

Stargazer

I think Tima Fainga'anuku isn't as good as his younger brother Leicester, but he's been really good in this game.

Stargazer

This is going to be massacre. Spowart scoring now.

Stargazer

Oops, Tony Johnson is right. Jordan was offside. It shouldn't have been a try.

Stargazer

HT: Ta$man 33 - 3 Manawatu

Yeetyaah

Ta$man insane. Always back my Waikato boys but Ta$man will be hard to beat for any team.

Parkinson should have been yellow carded..when your battling,all you need is poor officiating

Stargazer

Tony Johnson very keen on giving Booth some Duane Monkley medal points. He's nuts. KT and KH too polite to object.

Stargazer

This is really getting silly. 62 - 3.

Stargazer

Lucky conversion via the post for O'Malley. 64 - 3.

Bovidae

TJ won't be able to contain himself.

Stargazer

TJ's reason for giving Booth 2 points was "he tried so hard". Seriously, if your team loses 3 - 64, your players don't deserve any points. Trying isn't good enough.

@Stargazer it’s funny as you will very well know when the magpies were struggling a few seasons back...
It’s bad enough when your not playing well, but it seems when everything is going against you..even the officiating calls go against you..not a Turbos supporter by any stretch, but I do feel them ...this won’t be the last team Ta$man will put plenty on.

Stargazer

@Steven-Harris What's funny? I'm not gloating about any team's demise. It's hard for any team when they're struggling like Southland the last couple of years, Manawatu this year, and the Magpies, BOP and Northland for several years as well. But there are regional rivalries, which make me feel a bit less sorry for some teams than for others.
