@Duluth on Hawkins, you me, and all the other bloggers on the Taniwha site still trying to work that one out..
We actually have another really good young first five as well..Nikau Graham..all the work Northland putting into under 19 rugby staring to bear fruit. -
@Duluth yeah for me, his ceiling is a solid M10 Cup 10, but I expect he is now a year or 2 beyond his best, although never been any question on his commitment...however, I have heard from people that have worked with him, he reads the game so well, is one of the leaders, so maybe he is there more in a leadership/mentoring type role rather than someone likely to lead us at 10 (unless we suffer a string of injuries) also the few times I have interacted with him (post games) he comes across as a top bloke!

anyone heading along?

Final score Harbour 57 Northland 31..Wow. Terrible second 40. Only Northland can do that sort of shit. Wouldn’t have been too concerned with a loss, but seeing the ass drop out like that is not cool..even with all the changes.

@Steven-Harris Are North Harbour a bit average this year? Gatland and Preston are big losses.

@J77 Not good but hopefully that means they get their collective shit together. But 1st half team will be most of starters.
Here’s hoping. To concede 30 odd points in one half is a little ridiculous regardless of the circumstances, especially when we had a healthy lead at halftime.

@J77 TBF there was a season I think about 4 or 5 years back when we won all our pre-season games and had a poor season...

@taniwharugby If it is any consolation I am seriously considering backing you guys 17+ in the opening game in KPs Tipping competition. How is your tipping team looking numbers wise for this season TR?

@Higgins probably usual suspects....

That's good to hear but chase them all up to make sure you are at full strength come kick off time on Thursday night. Not sure how the Bay will go as there are a few of us a bit reticent to take part but might have to shoulder tap them to oversome this tipping shyness to field the regulation six allowed.
