God what an utterly embarrassing final 10 from the girls. Handed chance after chance on an absolute platter and proceeded to lose it on 1st or 2nd how many times?
I get that we have injuries and suspensions but it's absolutely basic stuff.
Shakira the only player with 100+ ARM and completion rate at 55%. Get that there's lots of tired bodies running on fumes out there.
Reckon rest, recover, and reset, for next week. Final home game and the Broncs so a big, big ask.
Hopefully no injuries or suspensions and MG is back.
Some chopping and changing will be needed in 2026 – hopefully a few experienced Kiwis make their way back home. Any word on whether Gayle Broughton is returning?
Not convinced on Tyra Wetere as a winger – too lightweight and decision-making lets her down. Puketapu’s handling is still a worry, far too many errors creeping in.
Can’t wrap my head around Paekau being 18th woman over Turua-Quedley. She’s an average hooker at best – the ruck and middle is unprotected when she’s on, and her service isn’t up to scratch either.
Great to have the girls back, but it’ll take a bit of time before they’re serious contenders again.
