Taranaki at $4.33 to win the Championship - good value?
Depends if they get that same ref/TMO combo every week.
Yep, still smarting from loss on Saturday, stupidly watched extended highlights as well and wound myself up even more.

@bovidae well we missed 39 apparently, so by my estimation based on how little ball we had, I'd say we made 2 out of 3 tackles (dont think there are stats pages anymore?)...and far be it for me to defend Hawkins, but he is a tough little buggar who never shies away from his defensive work, just got this one very wrong.

“Tai’s made some great strides with the PIC Steelers since joining us at the start of last year”
Has he? He's recruited well but Counties fans should not be happy with the results
12 games and 3 wins (Southland, Manawatu & Taranaki)
He has a very good reputation. However as a first class head coach it seems unearned at the moment
