Tasman v Manawatu
-
@Steven-Harris I've been watching Blackadder closely, because if an ABs loosie goes down, he'll be someone they'll be looking at. He's been outstanding. Very hungry.
-
Ethan Blackadder looks like he's enjoying his afternoon out. One of those guys who just plays at 100% without regard for his body.
Mako starting to find a bit of continuity. Manawatu struggling a bit with the sun and look like storm-week might be catching up with them, but I think we might have over-used the box kick.
Hopefully, we don't let them back in the game and this game really clicks some accuracy into place that we can carry for the rest of the season.

@Stargazer physical as well why i’m a bit disappointed with Iose
Really need someone to look after Blackadder in the physical stakes.
Your right though , he would be first of the rack if theres an injury in france -
@Steven-Harris I've never found Iose the physical type loosie; he's fast and has skills, but not the one you rely on for a physical game.

@Steven-Harris said in Ta$man v Manawatu:
@Chris-B glad we played your boys on a wet night in whangarei and no Blackadder😉
That week never happened!
-
@Stargazer thats a fair point , the boy Tyler Laubscher seems to have that physicality but injury has curtailed his career , TK Howden put in a massive shift against Auckland looks shot.
On saying that the Turbos are not helping themselves , could get messy after the celebrations of midweek. -
Yep I think so as well.
-
@Canes4life Bit hard to pick him when he gets injured every 2 seconds.
-
@Canes4life said in Ta$man v Manawatu:
@Chris he should be starting 6 for the ABs IMO
I'd have him starting 6 over whoever ABs roll out vs France but if he could stay fit I think ideally he's best suited as do it all loose forward bench cover.

@African-Monkey
In saying that Blackadder is fit playing well and Frizzell is busted.
