Clearly, a B.Communication (Journalism) from the Uni of Newcastle isn't worth much...

It has become a word.

Not that I'm not grumpy about it.

Belongs on the GOM thread.

Also I believe the game is on Sunday not Saturday.

[Grooter]

@KiwiMurph Sunday will be a great day🙂 can envision it now Cam Millar slotting goals in Taupo then Sam Gilbert slotting goals in the last home game of the campaign

[Kiwiwomble]

more or less the same as last week but with at least some firepower on one wing

[Bovidae]

Johnstone must be injured if Inch is debuting.

@Bovidae said in Highlanders v Waratahs:

Johnstone must be injured

Has he played any games this year?

[Derpus]

@Buff that's probably the weakest team we've put out all year. Rip.

He was on the bench for the MP game in early April. I don't think Thwaites has played at all this season.

Likewise. We just can't go back to Hunt.

[Kiwiwomble]

@SouthernMann and not even to write hunt off completely, but let him take some pressure off and get his shit together, go back to impact sub or 15 where i always prefered him
