Northland vs. Auckland

[Dice]

Tele'a!

That'll be on Smash em Bro tomorrow.

Sotutu is a stud. How he didn't get much game time for the Blues this year is a mystery.

Dirty bastard pulling Gregory off by the hair

@Dice Playing Akira Ioane into the ground was a better option instead.

Not that it matters but was TJ Faiane not offside when he scored?

Only a metre or so

[Yeetyaah]

At least the Northland kit looks good.

We were bullied. Men v Boys. Well done Auckland, deserved that one.

It was so obvious watching live so I have no idea what the AR was looking at.

That was a hella young starting loose trio for Auckland tonight. All 3 plus Papalii are 21 years old. Cameron Suafua is also only 21. There is a future there if they can retain them all.

@Nogusta yes they were

Does anyone know when Manu is due back?

I like Tele'a at 13. My preference would be to keep the TJ/Tele'a partnership together as much as possible. Manu might need to play wing

[KiwiMurph]

@DrivingMaul Cheers for that. You do great work.

[DrivingMaul]

@Duluth I'd do it the other way round with Manu at 13 and Tele'a on the wing

[DrivingMaul]

@KiwiMurph Thank you

[Duluth]

@DrivingMaul

Yeah I can understand that. Tele'a is a better winger than Manu

I just think the TJ/Tele'a partnership might be the long term midfield for Auckland and the Blues.
So the more they play together the better

@Duluth Someone mentioned in the Harbour game thread I think that he would miss the first couple of games, so he may well be available for the next game Vs BOP. They have a nice 10 day gap now to get over the bumps and bruises.
