Chatham Island Hawks
The Verdict
This favours Kaiviti slightly — current form makes the difference. But Hawks at home is always dangerous.
Hawks
Hawks don't have an obvious attacking tendency — they're comfortable playing multiple ways.
Their boot work has been tactical and varied. No single pattern to predict.
Cause for concern: set completion has been worse than average.
1 player unavailable (1 injured, 0 suspended). Manageable.
Playing at home — should feed off the crowd.
Kaiviti
Kaiviti favour getting the ball in their runners' hands rather than going to the boot.
High kicks and bombs have been their go-to. The back three will earn their money.
Edge over the opponent: completing their sets at a higher rate.
3 players unavailable (2 injured, 1 suspended). Significant depth issues.
Hawks tend towards a balanced approach while Kaiviti favour running. The contrast in styles should create an intriguing contest.
Watch Mason Lino and Brent Webb — the two most dangerous players on the park. If either gets an early touch, the game opens up.
Kaiviti should look to exploit Hawks' Wing position — it's a clear soft spot in the lineup.
Hawks should look to exploit Kaiviti's Halfback position — it's a clear soft spot in the lineup.
Huge blow for Kaiviti — Shaun Johnson (Halfback) won't be out there. That's a massive hole to fill.
Hawks' goal kicker is in outstanding form (83%). That 2-point difference adds up over 80 minutes.
Honours even — 1 win apiece from 2 meetings. Something has to give.
