Vs Dolphins Rd 22

[nswarrior]

This is terrible - we are playing with passion but can’t do anything in attack and then Dolphins score

we look like we are done

 

[Blair]

This is not good.

16-6, luckily Isaako missed his third kick. We're still in it. Need to score next.
...Ford's doing some good stuff, we must score! Dallin in! No need for the Superman cape and flaying locks.

Boyd-Martin-Pompey (with a lovely tip-on)-then Dallin over. Brilliant back play. Boyd nails the sideline kick. 16-12, Dolphins. Halftime.

We should win if we keep this expansive game plan up.

Really weird with Healey, when JMK made the big break he was reaching for him and immediately clutched at his pec/shoulder without contact, tried to run but couldn’t and was clutching it again, but hasn’t shown a sign of it since

 

[Izz]

We're back in it

 

[nswarrior]

Ford going into beast mode and turning things around

 

[nswarrior]

Come on Warriors we can do this

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Roller coaster half, bloody entertaining though

Both sides have looked the better for long periods before managing to cook themselves. Couldn’t pick a winner from here

Have only seen 40mins of it, but I think the Warriors are a better chance of going deeper into the year with TMM at 6

 

[Izz]

Love our second phase and attacking up the middle off of it.

And great intensity, too

 

[Izz]

Herbie getting injured probably best thing that could've happened for us. He was terrorizing Boyd. Sucks for him though, looked like a bad one

 

[Blair]

Leka's been quiet tonight. Is there something special in store?

Lussick on. Going OK. More mentions of Ford at Penrose than at Mt Panorama.
...c'mon boys, I'm getting frustrated. This half all the energy's with us but no points to show for it.

 

[Izz]

Trysaver from TT

 

[Izz]

Is that a Leka special or a double movement?

It's a Leka special!!!

 

[Blair]

Is that a Leka special or a double movement?

It's a Leka special!!!

No hands on our beast.

18-16, us. 25 mins left.
...c'mon Mt Smart. Bring our boys home with some noise.
...Niukore on for Ford.
...try-saver by Dallin (yep, true). 14 mins left...
...a very poor end to the set by the Dolphins.
...we're starting to believe.
...spoke too soon, Boyd stuffs up with a shepherd... eventually putting us under enormous pressure on our line...and try to Nikorima.

 

[Izz]

Klein on Team Dolphin

We survive

 

[Izz]

Boyd shepherd penalty

 

[Izz]

Nikorima knock on

Take that Klein

 

[Izz]

Should be a sin bin at least imo

Good

 

[Blair]

Take the two? No. We aim to put them away, six mins left, a Dolphin in the bin.

The stress. Five mins to go. The Dolphins lose a cc, a knock-on turns into a penalty for us. Good set, changeover five metres from the Dolphins line. They need to go 95 metres...high shot by Dallin, 38 metres out, seven metres in, but they don't take the two.

...and then Isaako scores. We lose, 20-18.

 

[Izz]

How do Dolphins get to keep their challenge?

 

[Izz]

Dolphins win at the death
