Northland vs. Auckland
-
My post match interviews from last night
-
-
@DrivingMaul Cheers for that. You do great work.
-
@Duluth I'd do it the other way round with Manu at 13 and Tele'a on the wing
-
@KiwiMurph Thank you
-
Yeah I can understand that. Tele'a is a better winger than Manu
I just think the TJ/Tele'a partnership might be the long term midfield for Auckland and the Blues.
So the more they play together the better -
For what is essentially a northern newspaper, the NZ Herald has not even bothered to print a report on this game. Either a statement on the decline of the standing of the Mitre 10 cup or the further decline of journalism quality at the Herald, probably both. Then they wonder why we won't pay for 'Premium'!

@Daffy-Jaffy the 7am news this morning didnt even mention the game at all, it was on the digital strip on the bottom of the screen only...think they mentioned it in the 7.30 round up.

@Daffy-Jaffy and to think Sione Havili was in the mix too. Aleks Dabek is also pretty handy. Been in the Auckland Academy and there or there abouts since leaving school but just absolutely can't get a look in. Currently exploring opportunities outside of Auckland

-
@Stargazer Thanks Stargazer - Interesting. I see that's only available on the Northern Advocate local site. So instead of it being lack of journalistic interest from the Herald it is more just lazy/incompetent production/editing not to post it on the national site under sport/rugby/npc.

@Duluth to add to the quandary Jordan Trainor isn't too far away. Surely he pushes Rayasi back to the wing?
Probably.. Rayasi has mostly been good at FB though
Plenty of depth/competition which is great
We now have good replacements for everyone from 6-15. The reserve props are ok. The 2nd hooker and lock depth are the only concerns.
Whetton is probably the most irreplaceable right now

Well, your point still stands. That was a local paper's review of the game, not the Herald itself. No Auckland coverage that I could find.

Northland could have used Aleks Dabek they have so many injuries already
