Can’t see Ta$man dropping a game this season based on the depth and quality of their squad..
-
@Steven-Harris I hope they have the Premiership top spot in the bag before their last round robin game and send their B team to Napier!
-
@Stargazer absolutely, same for the Taniwha game
-
Ta$man looking very very good. How have they not got the shield?
-
On the other side of the ledger, I do wonder if Canterbury’s incredible run is starting to come to an end...
They don’t appear to have the same sort of quality they have had in the past..eg many players that have super rugby experience -
@Steven-Harris It's for a great part the result of their own success. They have lost a lot of players to the ABs, the most important and recent examples being Mo'unga and Bridge.
-
@Steven-Harris One thing you never ever ever ever ever ever do is write Canterbury off haha.
In saying that though, I was a bit disappointed in the standard of their club comp this year. I feel that it was certainly down in quality from previous years from what I saw.

@Crazy-Horse You'll keep!
Ryan Coxon ho0bbles off and we're down to our sixth choice loosehead prop. Sam "The Rock" Prattley!
Hansen better give us Atu Moli for a couple of weeks.
-
@African-Monkey definitely not writing them off, just saying they don’t appear to be as scary as they have in the past ..still a good team ,but they don’t appear to be a team that looks good enough to go all the way.
