    Vs Dolphins Rd 22

    Taking the 2 to go to a 4 point lead (and immediately give the Dolphins the chance to win the ball back in our half) would’ve been bizarre imo so I’m not going to criticise them for that

    3-2-1 v Dolphins

    Funny, in other corners of the internet I’ve been seeing a lot of people bagging TMM. Seems to be widely agreed here that he was good.

    3-2-1 v Dolphins

    Ford still spent a lot of the game pissing me off but I had to be impressed by how he became more and more effective after already being on the field for 30+ minutes. At the 60 minute mark I had him locked in for points because he had just done so much more work than the other prop options and I...

    Biggest brand in NZ sports - NZ Herald article

    I’ve seen you say this a few times (basically that there’s no Union/League class divide in NZ?) and I can only say it doesn’t match with my experience living in Auckland for 40 years, or my understanding of the history of the games here. Union is obviously not a ‘posh’ game in NZ per se, it’s...

    3-2-1 v Dolphins

    3. RTS 2. Clark 1. Drumroll please….JACKSON FORD HM: Healey made several good runs. TMM had a number of nice touches. DM: Boyd wasn’t great. DWZ’s defensive positioning was decent I thought, but then he screws it up with a ridiculous error kicking the ball over the sideline, and a high tackle...

    DWZ criticism fatigue may have set in, but to put a high shot on on tackle 5 there is criminal

    I get not taking risks at this stage but I hate not trying harder to score there

    Absolutely brainless from Boyd

    Leka always seems to jump way too early but he just got hops. I think the early jump is a pretty effective weapon at skittling defenders too

    I agree but it’s been called that way all season

    Ford’s fitness is remarkable but he’s just so clumsy and dopey

    2025 R22 Fri - Warriors 18-20 Dolphins @ Go Media

    As you might have expected given our line-up, some of the attack has actually been a bit more interesting than usual but we also look pretty fragile. The injury to Farnworth has kept us in it, Dolphins have scored 16 without really getting their game going.

    dunno what’s got into Ford but he’s just played the most razzle dazzle 10 minutes of his career
