@tim didnt both co-captains spend decent chunks of last year on the sidelines too?

Good - both players are certain starters and should be.
And who won't be certain starters...

@taniwharugby Yep.

First of Tana’s mistakes rolled back.

@daffy-jaffy from some of the stuff I've seen on social media from the NOrthland lads Tom Robinson seems like the class clown...typical ginger! haha
-
@taniwharugby Every team needs a six/lock, a team clown, a crazy/angry ginga, if he can play guitar and drop goals he is the perfect utility player!

@kiwimurph can you blame fans who for so long have never felt part of the franchise?
NOt sure if the same model is used with other franchises, but a good chunk of the costs are paid for by the host, including a 'fee'
TBH I think trying to get an inclusive franchise is one of the only things Tana seems ot have done a decent job with

@kiwimurph said in Highlanders 2019 Discussion:
I'm pretty sure the last time Blues played a regular season game in Northland the crowd was about 8k... and then they wonder why they dont play regular season games there anymore...
8k at Northland Events Centre would have a better atmosphere than 8k at Eden Park.

I split this conversation from the Highlanders thread..
Anything around 10k at Eden Park is when the team is playing terrible (common over the last few years) and the weather is really bad.
I think you are targeting the wrong thing. The Blues aren't going to move more games from Eden Park . The members and sponsors pay a lot of the bills and they are at Eden Park
Complain about the Albany games. They get a game every year and it tends to be around 9K. Albany and Okara should host games on alternate years. It would probably boost the Albany crowds too
-
@duluth not targeting those games as such, just making a point.
And I agree with you one every other year alternating with Albany would work. And shit who knows, the Blues might even start to win a bit of support from up this way... maybe.
