@SouthernMann too many coaches (NZ ones that I notice anyway) seem to have thier predetermined subs, often missing the feel or game situation.
I mean last night, almost messed it up saving some players for a next week that almost didn't happen, luckily it did.
@SouthernMann 5k plus in attendance they reported after the game.
Even if we lose next weekend I won’t be too mad. There has been major improvement across the board and that’s all we’ve been asking for.
Here’s hoping the good run continues.

I thought that too taniwha, was saying to Mrs that perhaps Brown has been a bit quick with some subs. Though can see both sides, I guess you have to keep them with game feel etc ,in case they needed next week.

Yeah she that attendance. Would be awesome to see 7 - 9k. Will really help the membership drive for the Landers as well. If we are playing the winner out of today. There isn't anything that looks too scary.

It would be great to see over 10k people. The students are currently sitting exams from memory. Surely it’s an easy sell to say have a two our break and watch some rugby

I have heard Josh Jacomb has signed for Otago for the 2026 NPC..
From a family perspective for him it makes sense. It would give him, partner and kids a year round base. Instead of having to split it between NP and Hamilton. Or NP and Dunedin.

Yep
fingers crossed
Millar has obviouslt had a great season but one injury would have derailed things, Gilbert has done well at 15 i think and jamming him back at 10 might not have been pretty....some depth at 10 would be good

This will not make Taranaki's biggest fan @Dan54 happy...
Nor I.
This is bullshit. What's he thinking? Shining Peak, or... Speights.
"Representative rugby" - pfft.

You are right it wouldn't SM, though I would be surpised. I hope someone has got confused with his Highlanders gig. Not sure how Otago could afford him with Millar being there, both players must be prem players payments at NPC level.
And as Kruse rightfully points out Shining Peak is a better brew than Speights!

Emersons is better than Shining Peak though.
I doubt it is a cost thing.
Will be about lifestyle and limiting impact on the family. Two kids in daycare. Keep them in the same one. Don't shift between islands.
comparing a craft beer to mass produced is just coming across desperate for a win :winking_face:

This could allow Cam Millar, the man from Gore, to return to his home province
Great for the development of Muliaina.
