BOP v Hawke's

bayimports

@bayimports Yeah, sorry, my mistake. I have corrected the thread title.

And don't even try claiming underdog status. You're firm favourites and on a high, while we are on a low due to losing the Shield and generally not as good as last year.

TAB has us as firm favourites..what would they know? idiots

While we have mostly the same squad and the same quality players as previous years, we also have a new head coach and new assistant coach, who are clearly not as good, because we're playing way too lose

Personally, I hope this team that likes to "lose" turns up

@bayimports Ha, thanks for pointing out the typo. I swear I typed that right, but my keyboard has a will of it's own (stuck keys, I guess that means I need to clean it).

I haven't seen Jason Long since pre-season. I'm assuming he is injured?

Concussion unfortunately.

one of the things i miss from my childhood is watching afternoon Bay games at the Domain with my dad

Watching from the playground until half time when we could get in for free. then sitting on that concrete step below the bowls club.

And a memory I like reading about, great how some of us had to find ways to watch games without cash!

Here's hoping Gillies remembers who gave him is first big break...

Interesting battle upfront. Two very strong packs of forwards, superrugbyesque.

Thanks for your support.

Sapsford and Tiatia fvcking up early ...

Damo

Easiest try from a scrum I have ever seen.

WTF was the HB backline doing?

Nepia

Of Plenty score a try early. Magpies appear to have carried on from last week.

I best remove any heavy objects from my vicinity or I'll be watching the test on my laptop.

Feeling better now?

Nepia

Magpies in for a try to take the lead 12-10.

Tiatia finally does something good (after 6 or 7 games), has a run and throws a decent pass. (Wasn't the one that led to the try but credit where due).

Get Thompson in an all blacks jersey. Surely having him as a third hooker instead of coles and/or Taylor is worth the upside. I know this is only Bunnings cup but man I like his game.

Nepia

Magpies up 14-10 at halftime. Score does not reflect the game. Magpies were mostly poop.

They were OK. Scoreline is about right.
