Don't take the L so hard. The marketing of this team creates a hype of expectations. We're not in a window, we won't be in a window for a good 5 years. Low expectations for this team, as I've had for years and you won't feel the losses as bad.
Not biting until something's official. But I'd imagine having Egan Jr and that Hansen boy would make it a bit easier to lure. The kid has all the opportunity to forge his own path and legacy
With the footy season well and truly underway I thought it'd be good to have a space where we can chat about your local comp. With diehards from across the great nation it'd be great to have one place to find out how teams are going in competitions across the motu, not just Auckland. I've always...

It's the fact they're not trying to score on the last play from halfway But trusting the game plan that's so good to see. Other teams know it's coming but they still have to come out of their own end regardless. It's a high percentage plan that seems common sense but taken this long for us to...
You can't judge Pompey on the All Stars game. First game of the season at rep intensity against a backline of the fastest players in the comp. As others have said, at this point in the season you go for experience as teams are still full of beans and the matches are grinds. Save putting Ali in...
Some of the runs in the last quarter were pedestrian. Especially when urgency is required. That fucked with the ruck speed. We were told to release immediately, whereas every takle they made was a surrender or dominant. They wanted it more and we had no cohesion or direction in attack when it...
His ruck deception is lethal. He's got the no-look pass down to an art. He can fein left and pass right to Johnson for that sweep play. He's the one creating the overlap on the edge and is the reason Dallin scores so often. Forget top 3 he is the 9 with the best pass in the game. We win nothing...
