Odd to see Kereru-Symes listed as prop reserve
He played LH prop for Hastings Boys'. He only changed to hooker after he left school.
I seriously dislike the fact that the hooker from the development team is named as reserve hooker. Is Devery injured, or this a knee-jerk to the Japanese RFU with whom we apparently have a non-disclosed agreement (like many PUs), because I really don't see the need for moving KKS to reserve LH prop. I'm not convinced that - even at the end of stormweek - Tim Farrell couldn't play another 30 minutes or so. Or alternatively, Joel Hintz 30 more minutes at TH, so Pouri didn't have to be moved.
Not sure why Wye is preferred over McLeod, but some Aucklanders on the Fern have said he's talented, so I guess we'll find out. He's pretty green, but so are a few others.
I hope Stacey Ili will join the squad soon, because I really don't like our limited midfield options.
This game has banana skin written all over it. I still remember last year's farce.

Sensational from Flanders , shades of Colin Bourke

Superb response from Otago 7-7

Another super Magpies try ,such quick ball could turn this into a high scoring game , might come down to whom has gas in the tank

@Grooter providing much of the energy as well
Remind me again why Christie is wearing a black jersey🤔 -

McClutchie is having a good game too, calming things down when they're going a bit helter skelter.

@Nepia Magpies are getting such quick ball its too hard to defend especially during this 10 minute YC
Really dumb play from Finn Hurley kicking the ball out , your better off taking a breath behind your posts and drop kicking deep and backing your defence
Its the Fakatava ,McClutchie and Flanders show at the minute
Can see a blow out to the pies in the 2nd half @Nepia although i know you hate my predictions -

We're going to lose to a last minute drop goal after being up by 30 with 10 minutes to go now.
But agree on it being the Hastings Boys 8-10 axis show at the moment.

@Steven-Harris We've never been so much ahead this season! It worries me haha.
