Canterbury v Manawatu

[Steven Harris]

@Nepia Andrew Mehrtens probably the best ..

[Tim]

Damn it Parsons, you need to work on your "big calls"!

Nah he doesn’t count. He just happened to be born in SA as his parents were working there briefly. His grandfather was an AB

Rawlinson is the best so far

By virtue of being the only one?

[Steven Harris]

@Duluth i was pushing the boat out on that one ,Rawlinson defintely the best theres been a few of good provincial ones
Joggie Viljeon ,Reggie Goodes and Ross Geldenhuys come to mind , there was a winger who played for the Canes as well

@Steven-Harris Wes Goosen.

Also Riccitelli. A really average bunch from a country with so many talented players (who have provided quality players to other countries test teams).

Technically Mark Telea is "South African" and would therefore be the best of the bunch.

[Steven Harris]

@African-Monkey gee i reckon he may have been the best no disrespect to Rawlinson

[Stargazer]

Canterbury should be disappointed they're letting in so many tries. Their attack has been great but letting in 4 Poo tries is embarrassing for such a good team.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer looks like the Turbos have some good young players , but have just made far too many mistakes , Brett Cameron who is one of their more experienced players has been very poor , Brayden Iose has been quiet by his standards.
Talking to a friend who follows the Turbos they always seem to lose some really good young talent as well , throw in several injuries they have at the minute it, the mountain just gets higher.

[Chris]

Cahill again very impressive looks ready for SR.
Mataele outstanding as well.

I wouldn't mind if the Magpies poach Vijoen in the future - after all he did play for Hastings Boys.

Mataele was on fire. Fihaki made a meal of what should have been Canterbury's first try.

[Nevorian]

Croft’s can execute the cross field kick in case the opportunity arises

[SBW1]

@Chris Mataele would be a good addition to the Crusaders next year.

Been there done that.

We’ll see, but I’d take a punt on someone else

[Chris]

@SBW1

Mataele maybe back, he has left the Force as he was offered another contract.
So you would think he has something lined up somewhere else.

[SBW1]

@Chris He has proven gamebreaking ability, looked pretty lethal on Saturday.

[Chris]

@SBW1

Yep he is playing really well ATM.
