Northland v Magpies
-
@stargazer wasnt saying it was right or wrong, just thats what they said.
Pretty much sums up the quality of most of the stuff we get in the media these days, opinion and speculation.
-
Not long to go guys, just finished my pre-match buildup with couple of practice waves of my flag and a got my jersey tucked into my shorts. Sadly the fridge hs only a couple left in it so will have to pace myself. Surely today will be better than what we have seen for most of the season so far?

Please take note Northland RFU white numbers are almost invisible to read on a Cambridge blue jersey. In the meantime HB scored sixth tackle type try after Ihaia West grubbered it through. The Northland defender had an airshot trying to ground the ball and C Vaenga dived on it for the try After 25 minutes the score remains Northland 07 - 07 Shield Snorters. Notably Peter Breen has fluffed two penalty kick from reasonable distance out but close to the line of the posts.

Where was the penalty for Vaega being held back after that break by West?

Hi there '86, did you catch the Bathurst classic races? There were some gorgeous cars there racing including a couple of early seventies Mustangs and some real nice early 70s Falcons, even a couple of Chargers and what looked to be VJ Valiant and another that might have been a Valiant Pacer amongst others. On the other side there were also a number of Holdens!
-
@stockcar86 The ref missed more offending by Northland. And also, why re-setting the scrum after scrum when Northland takes it down, and penalising the Bay after just one mistake by Long?

Been working today, so seen no tv until 1/2 hr into Magpie game

Oh dear, looked a good try in live viewing to me but definitely a knock on. However the blue player dived onto the black players legs whilst both players were sliding on the ground before reaching the ball thus could justifiably be deemed to be a penalty try in my books.

Sky can fuck off with these interviews during play

Oh well at least we have the consolation of keeping the score well below 50, not that that is too much to be chuffed about. Fortunately there is just the one more game to go and I see the HBRFU are advertising tickets for the Lowe and Chapman stands at $7.50 for that game against the 'Poo next Sunday afternoon. Can anyone recall when the last time we lost to that mob at home was?
-
@higgins The last time we played them at home (in 2013), we beat them 45 - 18.
In 2009, we won 35 - 30, and in 2004, we beat them 44 - 12.
In all other years, we played them in Palmerston North (I think, but only had a quick look on the Mitre 10 Cup website).
I can't find info about the years before 2004. -

1985 at Hastings, lost 15-23 (non-championship)
Manawatu were first division ... and we weren't ....
Is that the game that Geoff Old poleaxed Peter O'Shaughnessey by the goalposts down at the scoreboard end of the ground and got himself red carded (or should have if he didn't)? My memory is letting me down on that particular unsavoury incident.
