This is going to be a good finish I think. Highlanders bench might see the scrum dominance tip the other way which can only bode well for us...
Might be the best I've ever seen Garden-Bachop play, he was electric in the first half.

Glad to see Millar looking comfortable. By far his best game of the season, hopefully he can keep it up for the 80
These kickfest games suit him
I know you aren’t a fan. Just give him some credit mate, he’s playing well.
I did give him credit. Said he is well suited to playing in bogs. Smart selection.

Te Hiwi subbed.
Yeah. gutted. My hope of paying my credit card off two days before payday are shot.

A messy but throughly entertaining game

Well played Landers, keeps them in the hunt.

Awesome atmosphere. Thought Dunshea, Holland, Haig, Withy, Harmon, Te Hiwi, CGB, Tavatavanawai and JRK were good. Millar showed he is a talented player in wet weather conditions.

We don't need to pit Faleafaga and Millar against each other. Having struggled to fill the 10 jersey since Sopoaga left, I for one will take as many good options as we could get.
He is a quality game controller with a very good boot. If nothing else, he'll always be an outstanding second pick, but at the moment, he has the jersey and deservingly so.

Other than what has already been said, my only other feeling from that game, would be that Johnstone simply has to be in 17 over Lienert-Brown.
DLB's scrummaging has never been good, so needs to make up for it round the field, and he has been woeful there nearly all season.

Absolutely stoked to get a win like that. Score board doesn’t really reflect how well we played or dominated that game but certainly felt like we were in control throughout. Moana did have their chances and moments so credit to them for how they played too.
Absolutely stoked for Cam Millar and how well he went today. To be able to put an 80 minute display together like that in those conditions is a great foundation to build off. Also to be able to put that early kick out on the full and missing that early kick behind him and play how he did shows mental strength and not let it get the best of him, good to see for a young 10.
Millar has definitely earned that jersey to start next weekend against the crusaders, what better challenge to keep building from!
Going to enjoy this one and get pumped for next weekend! Up the landers!

One thing I forgot to mention earlier when I was praising Millars efforts. How immense was Tavatavanawai! By far our signing of the season and I would go as far as saying he’s our back of the year just ahead of JRK.
His carries always break the gain line, 9 times out of 10 his carries give us quick ball, doesn’t make any bad defensive reads and always seems to come up with 1 or 2 crucial turnovers a game. His 2 today in our 22 and one on the goal line were unreal, without those the game could have gone the other way because both were against the run of play. Massive game from him and hoping to see more next weekend!
