One thing... Staggs is a Beast centre. He usually Owns the right side in attack and today he probably ran the most metres (for the ponies.) Our defence against 'em was crucial and pretty much kept 'em at bay. The weather and CHT may of had 'em in sorts.
Met'carve to kicking practice All Week but hey, a clutch moment to give us the W. His try was brilliant as was Nuikore's.
Leka's got it aye, his try celebration's set in stone, onya young buck. Egan's tackle on Willison was a beauty! Capewells expression for the lead up is going on my profile pic, just need to sort it, haha!
Big Ups to Jackson Ford. I burnt 'em in one of my last posts. He got ticker and when Monty Bethem sez "He's an energizer bunny," well, that'll do me.
Barnett? We got a True Go Forward Leader here and a relentless tackle bot. He caught that kick-off from Walsh like a pro. Tuaupiki's small, so is J.Gray, but he's put his hand up for the FB spot for sure.
Back when, ANY team that played the Mighty NZWarriors the week before would most Always lose (eg: bolts.) It's a positive vibe, for mine, as we have x-factor players preparing to hit the ground running when they come back off injury.
Good to see Laban get a taste as well.
Up the WAHS yo fu(k^n Beauty!!!

Be like Origin, Bring It on!
He looks great at six
I was at the game, bay 39. Crowd were great, over 22k. My nerves were absolutely shot.
Luka Mekiafu - he is becoming a winner. He has won us two games from long range penalty kicks. He is scoring tries with with speed and backing up, and attempting try saving tackles. He was also screaming at his team to organise them for a field goal attempt. He is by no means the finished product but if he can stay healthy I think he will continue to improve, he has huge potential.
I for one think his combination with CHT is the right choice given our options and CHT is developing well also. He has always had the prodigious talent. He needs confidence, support from a competent halves partner and continued gametime. I thought the two of them outplayed there much vaunted opponents tonight.
I didn't think we had a 50% chance or better of winning before the game tonight. What I loved the most is that we won this with our young kids playing significant roles. The benefit this win, warts and all, will give to Leka, Dimitric and big Jacob I think is significant.
For me, I think we just wanted it more. Both teams made mistake but our defence was brutaal for longer periods that thiers.
Finally, I thought the ref gave us a fair suck of the sav. I am not a fan of Chris Butler and he wasn't perfect, but I think he was fair enough.

I don't think I could ever turn against The Wahs
He’s like that guy off Apocalypto ay, ‘almost’ almost breaks the line but never does.
Mt Smart is starting to become a fortress again. 3-0 to begin the season against some good attacking sides (Manly and Brisbane).
Incorrect
Same. Be good to have a new 2nd team if it does happen though, I'm sick of the Titans, they're so inconsistent.
Unlike those Wahs, eh?
Yep, I'll be giving the Raiders (and I presume Sticky, can't see him leaving or getting dumped) the "It's Not Me, It's You" Speech, giving them the flick as my 2nd Team if the Keas (or whichever New Zealand team) comes to fruition.
Not RL/NRL related but: Why the eff do the staff at Mt Smart insist on opening the bottle of wine you've bought and pour it into a cup? Seems less environmentally friendly, as we're supposed to be being IIRC, as well as an arse to carry around - especially when it's wet....
