Bachop is still useless.

Jacobson is a filthy grub. A low cur. A scumbag of the highest order.

Didn't matter, it went dead in goal, so either a scrum or a 22.

You could wait to see Cane playing before winding up his career

We won’t be able to judge Cane at openside this week. Mitch Karpik has been preferred at 7 for BOP.

Just reflecting on last night's game, I was very impressed with the debutant Canterbury TH prop Fletcher Newell. He scrummaged really well winning two scrum penalties against Karl Tu'inukuafe in his first two scrums and generally having the better of the experience All Black LH prop.

Sam Cane doesn't need to play. He's that good. He's too busy captaining and dancing on tables for Ian Foster.

I agree that if he was exactly as fast, agile and evasive as he is now, but was 6'4" and weighed 105kg, that he would be a great player. And if my Auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

his weakness is his height, nothing more, he is far more talented than jordie and even jordan who are both over 6'1 while he is barely 5'9

Shows he is still bloody quick with an intercept 10m from his tryline and a try under the posts at the other end of the pitch.

Didn't expect that SAM - in fact I thought we might be on the receiving end. Pleasant surprise.

Well deserved win by the Mooloos. Too organised and accurate compared to Wellington, who where a shambles.

I thought the ref had a very good game, though he ended it with th bizarre penalty against Ardie for a leading with the shoulder. :wtf:

Hopefully Wellington does not have rely on the likes of Bachop, either of them, Jules or their replacement props. Between the Bachops and Jules, I counted about 7, possibly eight handling errors. While Jules ran hard, he's still got tits for hands and is even more useless under the high ball. Renata is a waste of sp0ace at the back as well.

I thought the Waikato halfback, Xavier Roe (any relation to Alison?), dMac and the other midfielder had great games, with decent input from ALB. I'd have given Fletcher Smith some kudos for a tidy game, but will wait to judge him on half decent opponent.

I was disappointed Otago couldn't snare him again this year - he was one of their most consistent players last year. And I mean consistently good, not consistently bad.

He was still reliably winning lineout ball, pilfering turnovers and making strong tackles - plus he still had an impressive turn of pace for a 37 year-old. I remember him snaffling an intercept about 40 metres out against Canterbury and running it in under the posts with Josh McKay in hot pursuit. He may have made up a metre on him but that would be all.

Is there a jersey colour that hair would go well with?

Roe the half back has a top game. His first few passes were ropey but he settled in quickly. He does have form being the U20's half back so good to see he has kicked on to mix it with the bigger boys.
