Mathieu Raynal (FFR)
So. Consistent and predictable refereeing. Good.

With minimal deals done....

Holy moly they talk some shit on The Breakdown.
Two examples -Jeff Wilson on Shannon Frizell - "There's no doubt he carries the ball hard and his defence is strong..........He just hasn't had consistent game time"
Angus Taʻavao would rather start Nepo Laulala on the bench ahead of Tamaiti Williams.

@Bovidae yep Telea (L) and Jordan (R) starting wings. Clarke will be on the bench I'm hearing 🤔
You hearing anything about the starting 6 or reserve halfback?
That doesn’t involve Auckland players, so probably not 😎

Based on form and especially last weekend, I'm prepared to give Shannon another start this weekend. Also I'd prefer to give DMac another start at 10 too.
I would like to see Tamaiti and Samipeni on the bench too.

Life was so much easier when we could just go….
Moody, Taylor, Williams, Whitelock, S. Barrett, Blackadder….

People that don't want Taukeiaho to start, deserve Foster.
I don’t mind if he doesn’t start, as long as he plays 35 minutes minimum
Thanks for interrupting pedicuring Fozzie to chip in.

Always here to help
And fuck you for the mental image you’ve just tattooed into my mind

If anybody is going to cost us on Saturday it will be Bongi.Not sure what the obsession is. I’ve had a long held belief about the best spot to actually captain the team from being the number 2 jersey. Maybe Fitzi planted that seed…Marx exponentially better…Bongi costs us…
Happy with the midfield and the bench. Also stoked that the weather forecast looks good. Both teams obviously amped and home will count.
Looking forward to seeing Brodie again and hoping Coles has an “average “ day…🤞🏻😏 -

Well when events change, I change my mind. What do you do?
His display was all the good things I've pointed out with practically none of the bad. Why wouldn't I want the backline operating like that again?

Well, good to see you've caught up with the rest of us who were saying this earlier in the season. Good on you!
