I thought this was really cool from Ivan. Saying he loves Auckland, his second home. Told us we can be extremely proud of our year, losing Metcalf & Barnett was the turning point & we’ve been incredibly brave & deserved to be there.

He identified the threat that leka is & the freak he will become. He made mention of our nsw cup side dominating & that Leka is one of a few young warriors coming through. He said there’s a lot of promise & we will be a force to be reckoned with the next few years. This is coming from a 4peat coach, we’re on the up guys and girls.

I just thought this was a really nice touch from Ivan, he’s always been full of praise & I feel there’s a mutual respect between the two clubs & they’re probably the closest we have to a brother club, with the amount of connections we have.

This is what I dont get. Yes the forward pass is a killer but why is CNK way back.
Terrible . And nasty
So Martin's role tonight what was it? Because to me seemed to try and play like Clark.
It WAS weird … further weirdness was carrying Healy only for an Egan injury, I thought 20-25 minutes for Healy or possibly to rest Clark would be the plan.

And Clark first to the bench And long minutes for Marata…was there a Clark injury?

But to be fair webbys rotation nearly worked with Fish and Clarke back on fresh for last 20 and we’re only 4 behind. Next Year!

Cleary kicked from behind the 20 so shouldn’t CNK be around the 30-40m line behind Dallin to defend 20/40 for an easy catch and we start the set in their half, bouncing once might be ok twice means you’re way off 🤦🤦🤦

Man that was the season I reckon we run over the top of them with TMM ball playing in the red zone

Didn’t the broncos have one of these against us in 23 semi final where he was caught out after doing a marathon double hit ups from the back 🤦

Better view from the 10 metre line.

That and the Pompey error were 2 defining moments one, we had them pinned in their 20 and The other we had a roll on, on the back of lekas try.
