A for me, we needed the win and we got it. Well done boys

 

[Dannevegas]

Keep Tauapiki at Fullback was outstanding just needs to find that pass in those moments.
Niukore was awesome at second row keep him there

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

Well, that was a good reason to get out of the house. Suddenly I don't feel so bad about the rest of the season.

Good game for a new halves combo.

 

[kurgal]

I've never been so happy to be wrong!

 

[snake77]

Good to get a win. We've gone most of the year without losing two in a row. So, losing two and then the bye it feels like a long time.

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

Our middles fucked up their middles.
Leka is a freak
CHT is our long term 6

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Fuck those shit cunts! Fuck all those tigers fans too!

 

[juju]

Not bad not bad

 

[Po11um]

Good win. Two points banked.

 

[pleatedpantspete]

love leka, called him on the wing in the pick your team! haha!

Had my doubts but happy Tannah boyd played well. He's prone to some poor play but hopefully he can play simple stuff well, all we need

Taine > cnk. cnk.... put the team first, you go centre. Latrell did it for the bunnies, you can do it for us.

Jackson ford had a bit of a regression.

good win, good points either way. Great defense apart from the lapse in the middle for doehiis second

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Needed the win, would be season over if we lost. Professional performance, putting away a bottom 4 team.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Boyd with one of the great debut ever?

 

[Stalefish540]

Finally played well after the bye, hallelujah.

Boyd diving into the line and squaring up the D line in attack well which we have struggled with all season, as Metcalf is still working on that part of his game. Great club debut, and the attack will only get better with time together.

Last try could have been avoided, not sure why Webby had Ford out there for 60mins straight, so I don't blame Ford for that one.

Happy to finally get a win, feels like an eternity.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Good win boys! I don't know why people are giving Nuikore shit? Maybe cos Kosi isn't there? Lol. I thought Nuikore ran hard and hit the gaps hard made good metres & tackled hard.

Geez, There's some discussions to be had about the merits of starting Leka ar centre and Taine to FB even when CNK is back.
And TMM is what we need off the bench with the Injuries we've had this year, He has done a awesome job filling in. Yes, healey is a special talent. Maybe to start. I'm starting to sway the way of Healey to start and Egan to cup! ? Don't come at me!

Very good game from Byod there congratulations on a beautiful game.
I thought Dallin had his best game in years Roger and Taine both exceptional along with Vaimauga & all our forwards.

Dal ran hard today

 

[Worried2Death]

Gotta say how good having a goal kicker you can back in 9 times out of 10, much better for the blood pressure. Awesome debut, he suits the calm methodical Webby style, sets up good shapes running into the line like that. He's Cool Hand Tanwah, welcome to the whanau son.

 

[snake77]

A shame Berry went down again. It would be good to finish the year with some stability on the right. It seems we have been constantly changing our right centre and right winger.

Besides the penalty he gave up Martin did alright filling in. The Tigers didn't send a lot out there. But he was involved in the try when he first came on and after that it didn't seem like a concern having in a position he isn't familiar with.

 

[Canonball]

That was almost an extremely angry watch - our right side defence shaky, until TMM fixed it... the middle a bit of mess in the 2nd half until TSS fixed it... the fixing from sutton and bunker in the ruck and, then some attitude and just enough energy from our captain and our beasts Demi and Leka to come over the top at the end .... Boyd's general play very good but his end of set kicks were not accurate enough, either too long or too short every time, I'm guessing that will come with a bit more playing at this pace... nice to not worry about the goal kicking tho
