QF - Canterbury vs Northland
-
@Duluth have to think one of the better sides we have been able name for some time, could be a bit stronger if Jack Goodhue and Tom were available, possibly putting the latter at lock, Apoua into the 23 too...
On thier day I think the 23 named are good enough to beat any of the teams, but doing that in a quarter against this Canterbury side, there is a reason they are paying around 1.10...as above, be happy if we put in a good performance.

Yeah, a tough disciplined performance is what we want - where we stay in the fight and don’t leak points. Scrum was an issue for us in the 1st game but this pack should be a lot better at that phase.

@kev yeah adding Ofa to the front row helps (was CTC last time) but last time we started with Hallam-Eames and Craig at lock, and IMO Goodhue is one of the better scrummaging locks running around so that should help us tomorrow.
We also had no Moorby last time we played them, so on paper we are better than that game too,just need to do the business on the grass...
$1.08 vs $7.00 at TAB.
Canterbury $1.42 for 13+ and at better odd paying less than $6 to win by 31-40 than we are just to win.Stats point to a thumping, history also says we lose on average 32-14, and 1987 was our last win down there, when both Rene Ranger and Ross Wright weren't even a year old, while id guess the rest of the squad werent even born....

No cards. The YC in the round robin match was the turning point.

@Duluth thought that Alex Hardford fella would be in the Reserves just incase
I really hope this Alex Hartfit guy becomes a regular AB. Nobody seems to be able to spell his name. The cries of "dusrespict!" on here will be worth it.

@kiwi_expat didn't Liam Allen have a game off the bench for the crusaders in 2021 ?

No, a preseason game he had a run off the bench

Did we default? 😅
I know the result isn't really in doubt, but...
-
@taniwharugby haha shit I hope karma bites them in the ass with that! I would laugh so hard.

@taniwharugby or maybe they’re just being cocky pricks and see us as cannon fodder.
Yeah, I know it will be a miracle, but they can happen..

ticketek fuck up not Canterburys,
Every team in the QFs has to set up a template for the SFs.
Canterbury has no control over what ticketek do with it.
You are being a bit sensitive there.
