North Harbour vs Tasman
-
@stargazer That will be interesting to watch. Blackadder can play 8, but I don't really recall Shannon playing there. Some size and power if he can get the rest of the game right.
That team is getting close to the strongest we could field. Fredericks, Ainley, Havili and Guyton possibly in the mix in the strongest team - given we're unlikely to see Squire or Hames.

Apart from a good 15 minute spell last week, North Harbour have been poor to start off the season. They tend to play to the level of their opponents so I expect a good performance from them tonight.

Direction from Hansen for Tongan Frizell to play 8? Got to find somewhere to put him because even the lock from his franchise looks a better prospect at 6.
I expect him to play like a man amongst boys in this match with his hype/reputation.

Haha you are starting to get to Davidav vs Toeava levels with your anti Frizell campaign. Im looking forward to actually seeing him play. I wonder if he is any good.
Hansen did mention that Frizell was an option to cover 8 back during the French series so you might be right about the message being passed down the levels.

Hell yeah, that's the plan!

Also, you have about 10 competitors at any given time on a Blues thread when it comes to Collins.
The odd ascension of Tongan Frizell almost went unremarked before I heroically hoisted my rusty sword.
TBF my interest in this game is way higher than it would be otherwise.

Really enjoying watching Ta$man. They look a well coached team.
Stating the obvious, but Jordan is a wonderful player. Hope he stays injury free because I am really looking forward to see what he can do at the next level. Future AB. He's looking a bit bigger this year too.
