Article suggests that losing the Shield is bad for us...that remains to be seen, I thought before the game them losing the shield in a close one would be better for us...although that may also be an incorrect POV as well.
While its be great if we win, I am resigned to us losing, but at least we can do it in style, like last week Haha...I refer you to my tagline below.

@taniwharugby the article also fails to mention how many injuries we have had in recent weeks. But we have a strong side and a good bench. Probably a couple off our best but not bad. I’m going down so hope we start well which seems to be our big issue. Would like to see us kick off 😀

@taniwharugby 😒 so close you can smell it

Spoke to the Waikato media manager yesterday,they are only expecting between 3-4,000 people to the game because it’s the long weekend,given they had a similar crowd there last weekend for a shield defence, it’s bloody embarrassing..!.good opportunity for the Taniwha supporters to make their presence felt.

I am staggered that you guys managed to get raped by the DSW a coupe of weeks back. Things looking reasonably promising for a Championship final in Napier next weekend so please don't you blow it from here Northland, although now at 14 - 21 things are looking a bit more dicey than I would like.

You’re dreaming, this is Northland, we can blow a 14 point lead quicker than anyone in the business.

Fuck this will be a game changing 10 minutes. If Waikato don’t level the scores or take the lead I’ll be very surprised
What did I tell you. Our defence the second half of this season has been nothing short of a disgrace.
28-21
Hope you had a good 10 minute break Nock, you’ve got a game to go and fucking win back now. In fact leave him off, get Kitto on.

That yellow has cost Northland 3 Waikato tries.
I wish I could say I didn’t see it coming.

Fuck we’re done, the backs just shovelling the ball along the backline and Waikato pick off an easy intercept.
Waikato have scored 31 points in the last 23 minutes.
What is it with us and conceding big points very quickly? Is it a mental thing and switching off? Fitness? What ever it is, it’s shithouse.
Fuck being a Northland supporter has to be one of the toughest gigs there is. Consistently disappointed.
