My heart can't take this. I don't know how we did it. We seemed to try everything to lose.

Does DWZ retain his spot? I don't know. He probably will but he seems to be a massive liability.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

WE DONT NEED NO POINTS DIFFERENTIAL, LET THAT MFER BURN!!!

 

[mt.wellington]

God they make it nerve racking every fucking week. Wins a win by sheesh...

 

[bringinthebulls]

F - because im sick to fuck of these close games.

 

[snake77]

A lot harder than it needed to be.

Glad we kept up the record this year of not losing two weeks in a row. Keep the wins turning over.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Is Daeon Amituanai in our top30?

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

What happened to Rocco? I missed something during the game as he never finished?

 

[Makasene]

One of these days we will put a team away. But today is not that day.

 

[Defence]

Entertaining game- better team won.
Cnk was immense.

 

[Dlenai]

An in-form Latrell is scary for the league.

Good to see our attack come to life and great moments of goal line defence, despite losing Barnett.

One more week till the much needed bye. We needed this win, officially equalling our 2024 total wins.

Demitric, CNK, RTS & Berry was absolutely massive today without looking at the stats - eye test alone.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

CNK is classic Webster style - 332m hard run meters

 

[Bluecat]

Oh man!
That was hard work. Well done in the end.
But jeez we make life difficult for ourselves

Some thoughts on the game.

CNK - MOM. He was everywhere again. The guy just does so much of the hard yards and big effort plays.

Barney - man we are going to miss that bloke. I only wish him the best and hope the scan shows a better outcome than it looked. Time for Fish to stand up.

LM - I thought we looked more structured inside their 20. There seemed to be more options for him which would’ve helped, but certainly more fluid than last week. Pompey needs to convert though…

RTS - Roger was a difference maker again I thought.

Can someone dig up some stats on kicking percentages between CHT Pompey and LM? Would be interested to know…



Berry - His kick chase and defensive pressure makes such a big difference. I feel for Ali, but a position is not a given and I hope he works his arse off to try and dethrone Berry or Pompey.

Thought Demi brought a lot of good energy off the bench today. Forced a handover, and had a key role in Berrys try.

Hard to single out anymore as it seemed like a real team effort across the board. They seem committed and supportive of each other throughout the 80.

Thought the reffing was a bit average today. Plenty of forward passes in the lead up to their tries. Lots of late tackle six agains and penalties. He just kept on letting them back in it until the death.

I don’t mind Egan being given a spell, but I just wonder if TMM is the best person for that.

DWZ was better today but still is so hairy out on that wing sometimes. No one else would’ve finished his try like he did today.

That really should’ve been the game to help our PD, but between the ref and some shit conversions is was another +6.

No

 

[KPWarrior]

A lot closer than it shoulda been but a win's a win

 

[kos]

No
Latrell single handedly made it hard for us some brilliant and determined plays from him

 

[Canonball]

A lot harder than it needed to be.

Glad we kept up the record this year of not losing two weeks in a row. Keep the wins turning over.

seriously, that tightness was managed ... there were some awful calls constantly going against us in the last 20

 

[Wah's Up]

CNK mom, but the whole team played like we are going to be the premiers. Ref spoiled the game
