I'm probably late for this but any interest from the Dunedin based franchise?

Haven't watched any of the naki this year how does this compare to their number one squad?
-
@number-10 Looks very much like a makeshift XV damn it all. Gives the Naki a bit of a fighting chance of achieving some sort of result. I admit I am still staggered everytime I read the lineup when it starts with 15. Kurt Baker.

By my reckoning 15 of this Taranaki 23 were in the Taranaki 23 that took the Ranfurly Shield off Canterbury.
The eight named to play tomorrow who didn't line up against Canterbury are:
8 Sowakula
10 Perofeta
13 Halls
18 Faletagoa'i
19 Hoeata
21 White
22 Rona
23 Rei -

I can only suppose the Magpies coaches just do not share your opinion?

Do you share their opinion or can you confirm with your insider knowledge that he has the best agent in the world and we have to play him every game regardless of form? 😜

Go HB
That is all.

I don't find him (Baker) unworthy.
I think he's been safe defensively and done some good things on attack.
I am genuinely astounded by this comment.

I'm sure it's my bias but this ref/ARs doing my head in.
When mcnicol lost it in the tackle that naki played was coming from an offside position to kick it. Then the naki half fumbled as he went to play it a couple minutes later and IWW should have been onside.
He just did the same thing penalty against the naki after the half knocked it.
Nothing annoys me more then half backs and quick taps. Works once every fifty times. The other 49 are disaster.

I'm not a baker fan either was excited when he signed. Today he is working to jobs though part time full back part time turnstile checking tickets

Add that last penalty to the list. Referee yells No Hands, then Boshier picks it up and he says Turnover Good. FFS

@Stockcar86 who is the ref?
-
@Magpie_in_aus Jono Bredin Never heard of him

Jono Bredin Never heard of him. Hoping he is back to referring third grade club rugby again soon
