Good to see them giving Mason Kean a run off the bench. I agree about Mikaele-Tu'u ahead of Hamelink

This ref is shitting me, 3 penalties I count so far against HB for not being bound at the breakdown when they are bound to at least one other player,
-
Nothing better than beating Manawatu in Palmerston North

Cripple fight won!
I'll take it even though Manawatu rested their best 2 players as we have been so shit all year
-
Didn't see that win coming! I thought it would be one of those games again where all the ref's decisions would go against us and at least one Magpie would get a spell in the bin.
It doesn't mean much for the competition, but always good to win some bling. Just hoping now that Waikato, and Auckland if I can be greedy, lose.
Also glad to see that Ihaia's boot was working today.
-
I think we should be thankful it was wet weather. Agree about the Penalties some terrible non bound calls. We will likely rue that loss to Auckland the most at the end of the season would have been in reach of not coming last if we got up over waikato. Unlikely as they will get up over Northland

@Stargazer said in v Manawatu:
By the way, why is it always shit weather when we play the Turbos in PN? That stadium doesn't seem to have good drainage at all. If it hadn't stopped pissing down, it would have been a game of water polo.
Have you never been to Palmy?
