Magpies v Otago (Championship SF)

[Yeetyaah]

That was a really good offload from Collins

[Nepia]

Why did Evans pass so early then?

[Nepia]

F**K Hinz! He sucks!

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah said in Hawke's v Otago (Championship SF):

Is Flanders signed for the Hurricanes next year? Or just a rumour.

Yes, 3 year contract with the Canes. Rumour has it, that his first year (2019) was a development contract and the next two a full contract, but that hasn't been confirmed.

[Steven Harris]

Great tackle Flanders ..what a talent..!

[Yeetyaah]

Flanders again. Fuck me he's busy

Definitely needed to be made!

@Stargazer That's why he is in at the Hurricanes. People pushing for TBN please take note of that.

I don't think people want an either/or.

We've got Gareth Evans there as another Number 8. Surely three would be one too many?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Especially because Ardie and Prinsep can also cover 8.

Balances out their 7 not releasing tackled players as I highlighted earlier.

Dumb of Kaifa as he stands out with his hair.

Surely you'd want them all over Prinslip and Taramai in a perfect world?

[Chris B.]

Bloody hell - you wouldn't want to have skin in all these games!

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia ref is pretty lax with both sides holding, off feet, wide bent gate

Definitely.

We can't defend for shit. I hope we get a defence coach in the off season.

[Stargazer]

I've aged 3 years during this game.

[Higgins]

Phew, another lucky let off with Otago dropping the ball forward right on the HB line, albeit helped by a coiuple of non calls at the ruck for not releasing on one instance and not rolling away from the HB side right at the start of the break.

[taniwharugby]

@Higgins not to mention that half the team was offside....but adds to the flow of the game and ref is reasonably consistent

[Higgins]

He's called that for not five metres. Surely the correct call would be for the early lift of the Otago player?

[Stargazer]

Great kick!
