@Stargazer said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
@Number-10 So no Premiership team wanted to play the Magpies and as a result, the third round pick ends up in the Steamers getting the Battle of the Bays at home.
Why the angry face? It would have been worse if there was no Battle of the Bays.
-
@Stargazer Canterbury choose Hawke's according to that info.
Waikato and Taranaki like to play each other as a traditional fixture and for the Ryan Wheeler Memorial Trophy.
-
@Stargazer We should be disappointed that we did not pick Bay Of Plenty in the second round when we had the second pick. Obviously the Treasurer of the HBRFU does not rate them when he puts his prospective gate take revenue figures at the forefront of deliberations. Still the opportunity to stuff them on their home turf next season is most appetizing!

Yep, in the first round, Canterbury had the 5th pick, with only the Magpies, Otago and Counties remaining. Canterbury picked Otago in the third round.

@Stargazer I understand but the 3rd round seems to have a lot of derbies. Canty probably threw Otago a bone for a RS challenge.
Ta$man went for the 5 pts.

@Nepia I blame Taranaki for picking the Steamers in the second round. The second round of picks was our only chance of picking the Steamers for a home Battle of the Bays.
We are still known as the bay until then thank you :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:
Nepia does make a valid point that at least there is a battle of the Bays. Why we chose to play you though is beyond me, its asking for trouble!
At least Southland chose us
-
I'm glad we decided we wanted to go to Ta$man again to face the defending champs...

You didn't choose us. You had the last pick and we were the only team left.
-
@Stargazer ha ha now that makes more sense
-
@taniwharugby maybe similar to us having to choose Hawkes?

You had the choice between Ta$man and the Steamers.

@Stargazer Obviously the Treasurer still had his gate takings budgeted revenue hat on then as well. No comparison when comparing Wellington against the rather obscure combined Golden Bay-Motueka/Nelson/Marlborough outfit.

I have it on good authority that for a prank, Steve Tew put his hand over the Wellington option on the board when the Hawkes Bay selection committee came into the room. They had to adjourn twice to the underwear department at Hallensteins until Steve removed his hand!
