Tasman v Manawatu

Steven Harris

@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

@Chris-B glad we played your boys on a wet night in whangarei and no Blackadder😉

Stargazer

@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.

That week never happened!

Stargazer

Miyake looks handy.

Steven Harris

@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.

Stargazer

This is getting really ugly for the Turbos.

Stargazer

Blackadder has played 52 minutes without holding back. He looked like he could have gone the full 80.

Stargazer

It's not helping the Turbos that both their hookers are now injured and that their prop has to throw the ball in the line-out.

Stargazer

Nice little comeback from the Turbos.

@Chris he should be starting 6 for the ABs IMO

@Canes4life

Yep I think so as well.

Mako looked a bit ragged once most of our big guns came off.

Depth being tested in some areas - and a bit wanting.

African Monkey

@Canes4life Bit hard to pick him when he gets injured every 2 seconds.

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.
