I don't believe what I just saw. NZB were down 2 with 1 minute to go. NZB turn down a tough penalty shot and kicked it to the corner, only to turn the ball over. The Drua don't seem to realise the clock has run out, and end up turning the ball over. The NZB get a penalty kick in front and much closer with time well put, but the kicker hits the post. Talk about trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
Seriously, how good are Manly looking?! Their pack is owning their opposition so far, Brooks has been brilliant running the left edge with DCE doing the rest with Turbo, Brown has been a good addition adding starch from the bench, their centres look very good with Saab to still come back, seriously, they look like the 3rd best side currently. Their balance in the side is very good.
Anyone who’s ever played a game of pickup ball will know that this was an impossible shot. Running cross court, left hand, borderline skyhook, over Joker, to win the game
Nothing but net
It was ludicrous, and I don’t think an exaggeration to say that nobody else in the league could have made that. Or even attempted it.
Forest docked four points which offers a lifeline to not only Luton but also Burnley.
They will appeal of course but the evidence is pretty damning. 4 points seems about right.
I heard the minimum was 6 points so maybe an appeal will bump it up? They spent a ridiculous amount last season so it is no surprise that they were caught out.
Pukekohe was the sole Counties Manukau side to win their Wider Auckland Pre-Season Competition game on Saturday after they defeated Pakuranga 38-27. It sees Michael Porter’s side bounce back from an opening week loss. Defending champions Patumahoe suffered a second successive loss, going down to...
I think you can pen the two Sydney teams and carlton in to finals. I assume Collingwood will come back after a tough start.
West Coast, the Bulldogs, and North locks for the bottom 3.
@Tim yeah I know Northland have been doing a bit of work with players like him and Evans as well as others from the region (playing elsewhere) to try and entice them back.
I think our HP facilities are starting to pay dividends.
Was chatting to a young fella I used to help coach who is in the HP set up (was in Blues U19s last year too) and he said they are training 4 times a week, so be interesting to see how he goes this year as it will be his 1st year of Senior rugby.
