I hope we can end the season with a good game, even if it's not a win....

 

[Jack_Napier]

yep exactly, hopin the boys really put in and don't end up gettin rolled. Show some controlled mongrel in the pack and we'll do well i reckon.
A win would be brilliant, be pretty happy finishing 4 wins in a row even if its been a dog shit season for us.

Carn you Chookies!!!!!!

FPN does not deserve to start over Takairangi.

FPN does not deserve to start over Takairangi.

Agreed.

 

[morley101]

I believe Mitchell is in doubt with a shoulder injury.

 

[Monk]

FFS I hate Monday night games...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

It's a Sunday game

 

[Monk]

So I know now. For some strange reason my brain though it was a Monday game... Either way I hate Monday games! :sarcasm:

 

[adamkungl]

Wish I was there, it looked like a top notch night!

Heading into 2012 on a high, bring on next season. We always had the talent, god I hope they take the right attitude into next season.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Had the talent but most of it was on the sideline

 

[Freddy's Girl]

What about that hit from Tasi!! something special.

Anyone think that if carney does stay we should look at him playing fullbak again?

 

[Mong]

Overall finish on the table reflects the available talent you had perfectly.

Not the worst but not top 8 material.

Fair outcome as it turned out.

Probably would have to. Let's face it Mini's pace made up for positioning and he wasn't half the fullback Diamond was so there was never much difference with Carney plus TC would hit those gaps

One thing is for sure and that's Anasta never going back in to the forwards.

Phillps was a better fullback? tough one

I see where TT is coming from and agree to a point. Would've loved him to play FB in 2003
