There haven't been many quicker halfbacks than Duggan. He regularly outplayed Meg in the late 1990s.

Not many, but Nugget?

[Bovidae]

I'd take Duggan in a race. He played sevens for NZ for a reason.

I thought you meant quicker getting the ball out.

[Bovidae]

@Crucial I don't think any halfback has/had a pass as quick as Smith. Maybe Tonu'u, but he could be erratic.

@Bovidae Grim Bachop?

[Tim]

Manawatu have a class backline, so Waikato would have to get on top in the forwards.

I'd still rate Smith ahead of Bachop. Laidlaw had a great pass in his day too.

Some serious wheels in that Waikato backline

[Bovidae]

Sivivatu scored 5 tries against Auckland in a game. I'm sure he could manage a hat-trick against the Poo.

But they have Fozzie at 10

[Tim]

@Crucial Even worse, they are burdened with Reece Duggan!

[Bovidae]

I'm hoping this Ian Foster turns up.

[dogmeat]

Far and away the tightest one for me to pick.

[Tim]

@dogmeat Manawatu get close to parity in the forwards, and have much better halves.

I reckon they are stronger from 1-10 and then at 15.

[dogmeat]

@Tim I went for the Poo I just thought it would be a closer contest than the others

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat I thought it was easier than a couple others.

[dogmeat]

@taniwharugby yeah well you did pick the Taniwha.....

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat mate, heart ALWAYS pick the the Taniwha!

[dogmeat]

@taniwharugby I have enjoyed a few good nights at Okara Park. Yet to see the home team win though.

It's the most bogan ground I have ever been to - in a good way. Only place I've ever been to where in his after match presentation the President of NRU told the punters what roads to take to avoid the booze bus
