@jimmyb Reckon there’s a lot of things you can say about JJ but struggle to see being sulky as one of them?
Reports from a few players that he hasn’t said a word at team meetings or trainings, and I really mean a word. I’d call that sulking
I find it really hard to believe that he has simply stood there saying nothing.
A) That is totally unrealistic
B) He wouldn’t be able to help himself

Ok, the players are lying then. Take it as you will but I’m not pulling this out of my arse

That's true, you seem really objective about Joseph!
I'd say he has a right to be down, he came back to NZ and this isn't his first rodeo.
While you should be happy it is Rennie. I am. But I'd also have liked Joseph as HC if he could have brought Tony Brown back.

Well I don’t want to hijack the match day thread with my anti Joseph sentiments, which I believe are well founded. All I can say is I’m disappointed some players haven’t been given a kick up the arse and dropped this week.
De Crepsigny back for the Force which pushes Jeremy Williams back to lock and Molina onto the bench. Amosa back at hooker too. Imteresting to see Bridge and Palu effectively swap as well.
Harry Johnson-Holmes had a tough time last week against Abraham Pole, so he'll be in for an even harder time I feel against De Groot.
Highlanders get up at home here.

no, but in a world where they have changed the definition of "literally" to also mean "figuratively"......is there a chance people have exaggerated, we dont have to jump to people are lying
"he hasnt said a word...literally!"
Purely on vibes, I think the Landers may snot the Force here.
Should be a good open game, and I just think our backs are way too good.
Well I'm going to the game and haven't seen the Highlanders win in person for probably five or six years.

Just to build on this - I think we need to as well. I’m not sure a close win does much for anyone’s confidence, except for, “At least we didn’t lose”
The last time we played the force at home it ended up being one of the worst wins I have seen from teams I support. Only trumpeted by an Otago 6-3 win over Auckland by Otago in the 2003 NPC
@SouthernMann yeah shit, if I remember correctly the final score was 7-6 and it snapped a long losing streak. Here’s hoping its nothing like that this afternoon
