v Waikato
-
Don't let up northland!
25-8 5 to go in half
-
@taniwharugby You are winning for the first time in a while. Don't be greedy.
-
32- 8 at the break...
Wtf....hopefully Waikato run out of steam.
-
Kicking a lot better, exits still need work. Waikato have made a lot of mistakes handing us the ball and releasing pressure.
Breen's little chip kick was a little cute and inside our red zone - we should try not to do that again. Play position and pressure and grind them down. Waikato look ( mentally ) tired.
-
I can't believe what I'm watching.
Up 32-8 at half time, I'm just waiting for the shit to hit the fan...
Need to do better on our exits, especially when they're giving us al the time in the world.
Lose is a knob, he has said about 5 times that Breen is a loan player. Bugger of you idiot.
-
Fuck my picks, Go Taniwha!
-
Here they come....get markwick on!
-
These breakdown rules suck
-
Fuck...1 more will seal it surely
-
Looked like they got the jitters, bearing in mind half these guys haven't won at this level.
Lots of players stood out today, helped by waikatos errors but fully deserved.

Thought that was one of the best games we've seen from MOulds.
Our tight 5 were excellent, uncompromising.
Our loosies were excellent, surely some super coaches are looking at Matich, dude has been one of our best all season, huge work rate.
Mcleod's passing isnt the best, but he plugged away.
Breen suffered form the slow ball, but did a good job.
Hawkins, well, as anyone here knows, I am not a fan, but I like him at 12 and I reckon he has come back from Aus a better player, I like the combo of him and Dunn, hopefully we'll see it next week, for an unprecedented 2 weeks in a row.
Our back 3 were very good, reckon Alaimalo needed to back hmself on that break he got, Hyland was excellent in the first half, we still need to get Macilai involved much more.
All our subs stepped up too.
Granted this wasnt a great performance by Waikato, but the bigger hurdle we faced was mental, I reckon that 40-60mins we got the wobbles and were ripe for the taking, but we ticked over the points!
-
Gee, what a performance. Where has this team been for the past 20 odd games?
Waikato were poor, but we still had to take advantage, in previous games we haven't been able to do that.
Forwards were great, can't think of anyone who didn't play well.
I'm with TR Hawkins is much improved and is doing a great job at 12.
I've been a critic of Hyland, but this was easily his best game for Northland. Had some really good touches.Just bloody pleased hat this horrid losing streak is over.
I'm a believer after that performance, that we can win our next two, as long as that team turns up, not those other Muppets who drop the ball every 5 seconds and cant win lineouts.
Oh, and Markwick is better than MacLeod.
