Ultimate NPC: Round 1 Waikato v Manawatu

[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.

[dogmeat]

@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

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat guessing you havent been here for some time...?

It's not about the winning (says someone who's team experiences losing more than winning) its about supporting your team and being able to enjoy the rare wins when they happen!
