@chris-b Perhaps they are all at the game? Speaking of which I have not yet spotted Stockcar86 waving his flag yet.

Judging by the stands I'd guess not!

So the Waikato supporters didn't even manage to create a thread on the main board?!!

Go Hawkes Bay - and these might be the only times you hear me say that this century!

Why would we? Posters can come here.

Bryant finally spots a forward pass, sadly it was a Bay one and the two he's missed have been from the Mooloo.

"Waikato supporters" you pillock!

Brother is there @Higgins . I’m confined to bed with a stuffed back and a bucketload of Tramadol

Ten minutes of dominance by the Bay leads to nothing with Waikato getting a lucky possession and scoring completely against the run of play down the other end, adided by a Taulagi (or whoever it is wearing the orange/red boots) miss tackle.

Hahaha. Upper cut for my reading and comprehension skills.

Good try Waikato. The Bay have lost the plot a bit. Should have kicked those two penalties, then their frustrations with the interpretation of the ref (Evans and Weber have permanent WTF faces) would be less of an issue.

[Higgins]

And in the blink of an eye we are now down by twenty and still ten minutes to play. It's small consolation the HBRFU Treasurer won't have to find the money to engrave this particular trophy.

[Nepia]

Yep, we're in danger of it being a blow out now.

[Higgins]

So much for the four games in 16 days or whatever it was for Waikato. They don't appear to be showing any sign of fatigue.

[Nepia]

How can I guy lying on the ground and passing the ball up be play on?

[Higgins]

Have we seen that guy in the 22 jersey who scored that late consolation try before?
Final Score
Waikato 42 - 22 The Bay

Isn't he the other import midfielder who started the first two games?

[Higgins]

Dunno, we will have to wait for Stargazer to surface to confirm that. Who have we got next up anyway?

[Steven Harris]

It’s fair to say the better team won tonight, but the Magpies could’nt catch a break with the official,not sure when playing the ball on the ground was legal in anybody’s universe..but my biggest issues were the side entries which seem to happen frequently wether Waikato were defending or carrying ..but I am curious to wonder why a 36 yearly loose prop who throws a shit offload which results in a try that pretty much gives Waikato breathing space gets to stay on the paddock for another 10 minutes and just looked gased.

[Stargazer]

The 22 is Sasa Tofilau. They're rotating him and Pasqualle Dunn each game.

A lot of nerves in this game and under pressure it's showing that we have a pretty raw squad.

It's a worry that now our third hooker also didn't look good when he left the field. I hope it's nothing serious.

[Stargazer]

We have a long rest now, until Sat 22 Sep, when we host North Harbour. That's the start of our stormweek, with the next game on the Wednesday against Northland (at home) and then Canterbury away on the following Sunday.

[Stargazer]

We're now on 17 points and Waikato on 18, but they've played a game more. Otago is currently third on 10 points, having played the same number of games as the Magpies.

@stargazer that's what happens when teams who don't really care about it keep winning it.
