Round 23 v Warriors at Mt Smart Sunday Afternoon

[Rolla]

Going up stairs. Sau may have one.

Side note 13 completions from 13 from knights.

 

[Rolla]

No try

 

[Rolla]

Another Vatuvai try.

8-4 kick to come

 

[Rolla]

10-4

Half time.

16/17 complletions (but the one drop was a contested attacking kick late in the count).

 

[doggone]

Two tries to Warriors after two penalties. Hate watching any team playing in NZ always the same, penalties in favour of Warriors:crazy:

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Penalties will balance out our completions have been superb, we will WIN you heard it here first.

 

[Rusty]

Uate is being owned by Vatuvei. I wish that he made more of an effort to contest the ball, preferably using both hands.

 

[The_Joey_Show]

Interesting half.

We looked pretty good in defence, although Vatuvei vs Uate is the physical mismatch that it was always going to be. I'm loathe to break up the successful centre-wing pair of Maddog-Uate, but I think we need the physical presence of Vuna out of on that side to control Manu.

In attack, we have looked a little bereft of ideas in the attacking 20... in other words, we are missing Mullo. Dureau has looked pretty solid, but needs to take control of the game in the attacking zone. Some of Kurt's kicking options have been horrid.

 

[Pika]

Getting killed with penalties and being held down all day in the ruck.

 

[The_Joey_Show]

Two tries to Warriors after two penalties. Hate watching any team playing in NZ always the same, penalties in favour of Warriors:crazy:

True that. Penalty count at halftime is 6-2 to the Warriors. Hard to fight against that kind of discrepancy.

 

[Apey]

Magic (if slightly forward!) pass from Dureau for the try.

Kick missed.

4-4 after 27 minutes.

If Dureau's was slightly forward then Vatuvei's first try was a touch-down.

 

[Rolla]

Tolar in under the posts will be

10-10

 

[Alex28]

Try to Tolar. Back to 10-all.

 

[Rolla]

Vuna off with a leg injury.

 

[Rolla]

Back to back penalties to the warriors, shot at goal.

12-10 warriors

 

[KnightsMan90]

Cummins and Suttor, Warriors 18th and 19th men.

That penalty count is criminal

 

[Misanthrope]

Jeez man, we're either the least disciplined side in the world or the ref has a man crush on the Warriors. f**king lop-sided count.

 

[Rolla]

Crossy knocked out with a big headclash with hilder.

 

[Rolla]

Penalties 10-4

 

[Rolla]

Third for Manu, each directly after penalties.
