Come on guys, our tackling/defence shiteness has been way more impressive than yours which has just been double XX shite
Bugger off, have you been watching this half?
We will loose form here
I'm doing my best but obviously missing bits as I am still wiping the tears away after witnessing my guys dreadful first half exhibition of non tackling.

The lack of defense in this game is actually starting to offend me

Imagine how much it is affecting those of us with a bit more at stake than you!

By my count we have conceded 5 set piece tries.
3 lineout drives and two to the backs from scrums.
Not good enough from both sides though, don’t think either deserve to win

We made enough tackles for the season in our game over Of Plenty.

Do we need one more try for the second bonus point for 8 tries?

You don't have to guess ref, there's a fucking line on the ground

Worst 40 minutes I’ve seen. Muppets.
Good to see someone can be more level headed about it than me.
Trust me I’m saying worse things, but I’m trying to be PG-ish.
Bloody embarrassing. Hawke’s Bay are shit, but we are shitter

A 51 all draw might have been a fairer result.
Hard luck Northland fans.

Didnt even deserve the draw after that rubbish. You guys were way too good the 2nd 40.
Hawke’s Bay the better of the retards on the night!

I’m still struggling to comprehend that second half.
Sure our first half wasn’t perfect, defense was leaky but at least we played rugby.
Second half was spent missing tackles, throwing passes behind the man and giving away penalties.
For me summed up by dumbarse Pryor getting sin binned the very next play after a team warning for giving away penalties. Yep, the very next play.Goodbye season. We might scrape into the semis, but that’ll be our lot as usual. We are just way too inconsistent to be a serious threat in the competition.
Some will view this as being a bit harsh or negative, but fucking hell, it’s the same shit different year.
I will always support the Taniwha but bloody hell they frustrate the hell out of me!!!

Gregory needs to be at 12, Hohaia is such a weak point.
The only thing worse than us tonight was the ref - think he set the tone early with those 2 bad penalty calls leading to tries. You know they're wrong when Ian Smith is saying so - HBs version of Ian Jones. Add to that the phantom penalties that led to a yellow card and a try from a Wayne Barnes like miss on the forward pass and HB have a 4 try bonus point courtesy of the work experience ref. Even little things like calling a kick not 10 when it so clearly did Grant Nisbet could see it.
Mikaele Tu'u definitely deserved the DM points, was such a beast. Northland should've attacked Mason Emersons wing a lot more, it was clear they had identified him as the weak point and they exploited it to good effect in the first half.
