Great comment on the radio:

Wouldn't want to be in the receiving end of the first James Parsons tackle 🤣

Higgins

Goodness, how did the referee arrive at that call. The BoP tighthead claerly caused that scrum collapse.

@Higgins totally agree that scrum penalty against KT was about as poor as you will ever see ,the official can’t work out who has the dominant scrum

Higgins

North Harbour continue to pass up relatively easy three points form penalty kicks. By my count there have been about five that they could have been successful with with a half decent kicker. That's 15 points and they are still behind by ten.

That was an awesome fend..Weber won’t want to see that at the video review

Survived the yellow with just the loss of 5 points, BOP might just pull this off!

No, The harbour prop did by over extending and not creating the right gap. That was what caused the BOP prop to collpase down.

Parsons confusing ability with ambition..why does he think he’s a ball carrier..?

Baron Silas Greenback

Hollinshead doing his best to lose this, missing the kick and then throwing a 50/50 pass when all BOP needed was to keep posession inside the NH 22

Wow really ? Will have to watch the highlights then as knew we were gonna lose and had kids rugby prizegiving (why the hell they did it on Harbour club day I have no idea) so didnt catch much of uit.

Whether it was the game of the weekend, depends on who you are supporting. It certainly wasn't my game of the weekend.

@JK interesting that Northland who had a club day at the Magpies game on Saturday attracted over 7;000 people,.probably the best crowd of the 2019 Mitre 10 Cup ..it was promoted vey well..;with free buses laid on for all the clubs that were able to attend.

Would have been more but @taniwharugby saw the writing on the wall and left just before the start of the game.

@Nepia not to sure if you were at the game, but most of the crowd stayed until late, most started filtering out with about 5 to go..sure the team could be traveling better, but they do get very solid crowds..quite opposite to what we are seeing at some of the bigger centres
