Championship Final: The Bay vs Hawkes
-
Did I miss the talk about Sky being little bitches and having the wrong team as Bay in the graphics?

Small consolation that it is but HB the only team able to score a try in what was a very ordinary match where chances were few and far between an what there was were invariably stuffed up by mistakes or simply poor play or option taking.
Sums up a the game well, though I’m still claiming the points scored in the game for Dan Hollinshead - 12 points off the boot and a try assist

Congratulations to the Steamers, you have got to give it to their defence ..the Magpies will regret not taking their chances ..,but what a gutsy performance from the visitors given they played out 100 minutes last week and listening to many of the pundits who were telling us there would be 30 points in this game
suck it up princess, really show us the many comments that say 30 point win?
tough win, but finals you only need to win by one and most Bay fans would know that
well done to the Bay defence, not pretty but job done
Get used to it. Hawkes have a plethora of churlish fans. Stockcar an exception tonight...nepia good enough through gritted teeth 🙂

I'm not sure about this line from the Stuff article
Bay of Plenty first-five eighth Dan Hollinshead was the star for Bay of Plenty with four penalties -
@Stockcar86 ha ha click bait, anyone who watched the game knows different, even we don't agree

@Stockcar86 Obviously written after looking at the points scorers. The writer does not seem to have actually viewed the match.

It would have been good to see a different angle of the 1st half penalty that he missed but Smith thought went over.

congrats BOP, well deserved promotion, great season!

Probably not going to watch my recording of the game. Just like the 2011 RWC Final, 2 teams to scared to lose the game and the nervousness lead to way too many mistakes, and not a great watch.
I'm hoping that in the draw for next year one team will pick the other for the cross-over matches, so HB get a chance to challenge for the naming rights again.

Almost unbelievable. 2000 might be the last time we’ve won a final?
YAY!
Indeed it was and I was there that day too! Mighty defence at the end otherwise give the cup to Mitch Karpik - what a legend

Fog starting to clear in my head from my own celebrations and getting ready for massive test match later.
Just want to say congrats the Bay for their first title (even Mickey Mouse ones) and also retaining the bay title. also congrats to the Hawkes team for a great season and nearly stole both titles.
South Central Vikings we are coming for you next year 😀 (if we can borrow that cheque book)

3rd title? NPC in 1976, won Div 2 in 2000 ....

Thoughts from last night.
-
Nepotism alive and well in the Bay - last week it was Mike Delany's son taking out the match ball, last night it was Clayton McMillan's daughter.
-
Who else was thinking they would prefer the guy carrying the kicking tee to take the kicks instead of Hollinshead?
-
Running along with the ball in one hand looking to flick it out of the back works much better when you're almost breaking the line rather than running sideways and about to be gang tackled.
-
Goal line defence by the Bay reminiscent of the home game against Wellington back in 2004.
-
Loved (hated) the fact we couldn't even close out the game after the hooter with a simple line-out and kick it out.
-
We will be fighting to stay up in the top division without some strengthening.
