Magpies v Southland

Southland can start their review by looking at Pleasants-Tate. What a spastic.

@NTA the kid you referring to is Viliami Tosi..he’s definitely a unit,6’5 120 Kgs only around 20 or 21 ,he just missed out on the NZ under 20s a couple seasons back , played at Rotorua Boys ,if they can get his conditioning right he’s going to be a human wrecking machine ..
I know talking to the Southland assistant coach Dale MacLeod he’s going to be a project moving forward..
Dale Macleod has a brilliant ability to identity talent , he pulled both the 2nd Five Ray Nu’u from Canterbury and the fullback Josh Morsby from Waikato .. -
@antipodean it’s been his down fall throughout his career, is actually quite a skilful player ,but boy what a meat head..
-
@Stargazer not bad when you can play that badly and win quite comfortably in the end..was actually good to see a contest .

What an awful performance ...but 41 points. Strange.
The other strange thing - with the guys wearing their club socks today, and there was only a total of 80 minutes combined from red and green socks - 73 minutes from Dixon and 7 minutes from Donaldson.
Happy with the win, but a bit of a shit game to watch.
I was really impressed with the effort of Flanders. He really threw himself around and tried to get involved with every ruck. I've always been a fan of Cridge though, so not sure who I would rather start at 6. Maybe only room for one of them on the bench when Mikaele-Tuu is fit again, with him starting at 6, Evans 8, and O'Conner at 7. A good problem to have.
The team seemed stoked when McClutchie scored - it seems like they recognize the boy has been having a tough time and are building up his confidence.
