thats an impressive backline there, our defence will need to be on!

@taniwharugby

kind of agree with you on balekana
but after having a look at his credentials, it was probably inevitable he'd show up here
obviously thick as with martin, and current MLR player of the year
if martin wanted him, pretty hard for NRU to say no

@mohikamo part of the problem with the coach not being here during club season I guess.

Are a couple of fellas running around for the Dev side I'd have given a shot first, and IMO sends a poor message to these types of guys; Petero Ratumativuki and Judah Andrews.

I hope he proves me wrong, but he is 32 as well, so aint like he will be here for a long time either!

That’s a stacked Ta$man side. We haven’t played very well in 2 games so far - though we created lots against Southland in first half but finished nothing. Let’s see what happens.

After earlier forecasts of a warm fine afternoon it's turned shite, gonna be pretty wet.

Starting now

Surely he scored that

WTF, that went back surely

should have been an advantage from several Mako backs off side several phases back too

Northland doing well so far at maintaining possession

Yeah, TR, were multiple offsides

@Kirwan key is can they keep it up....

Well, Ta$man are having to make a lot of tackles

comedy of errors leading to that

wtf Blackadder, dumb arse

we are falling off far too many tackles, could get ugly if we dont tighten that up

that was deliberate knock there??

@taniwharugby said in Northland v Ta$man:

that was deliberate knock there??

Ref claimed it was in the tackle. I thought it was a penalty

@Duluth about as deliberate as you will ever see...

Nock is so indecisive

wasnt really a fortuitous read by Aumua, just poor execution by Pasitoa
