What the hell is Mara doing in the Vulcans!?

 

[MKEB...]

Geez; two strong lineups named.I think I may tip the Vulcans though

 

[Aragorn]

good to see Bill Tupou in there... right where he belongs....

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Manly took the game out 26-24 today

 

[JoeD]

I'll repeat it, why is Mara not playing firsts?

 

[Abdullah]

Yes, Mara should replace Taylor. Godinet deserves to start - made difference when he came on to replace useless Taylor

 

[NZ Warrior]

How did Harry Seijka go??? Anyone see the game?

 

[vvvrulz]

I'll repeat it, why is Mara not playing firsts?

I've been going on about this over and over again, but forget Mara at least Godinet should have been the #9.

Taylor was absolute rubbish at hooker last season, I still remember him biffing the ball two metres in front of Maloney & doing one of his famous no-lookers out the sidelines.

How did Harry Seijka go??? Anyone see the game?

Was told he didn't really threaten at all

Palavi was the best and the 14 and 16 added impact off the bench

Thanks oz. Top stuff. Paasi's looking very creative out there.

 

[Iafeta]

Great break from Alehana Mara, aside from a fumble from the fullback he had his man under the sticks.

Full-time: Vulcans 24 - 12 Newtown

 

[Dr Crane]

just got home from this. not a stunning first half, neither team looked prepared for rain.

once the sun came out it got better. probably on balance a fair result.

interesting seeing waetford move into the halves after siejka went off.

 

[Aragorn]

there`s more atmosphere (& people) at rugby first XV matches than these games.... must suck when you`re recruited from overseas only to be playing in this...
