win or lose it doesn't really bother me to be honest, it's only a friendly, both teams had good run outs with hopefully no injuries, brings us another week closer to the real games

You never do cheer like us or get behind the team,thats why unless your playing us,the KC is like a morgue.Its called supporting your team.Ever thought of trying it.

the reason i dont get carried away with pre-season, already posted it takes some of the contest away when sides swap and change the line ups

Hard game to judge really but Rankin looks like he‘s got something about him and think when talanao gets fully fit could be useful asset

ive posted similar myself, this would probably have been a far better game if it was both clubs last friendly,

Its true though....we've got the best binman in the town

Agreed. Rankin looks to have a wicked sidestep on him and Talanoa showed up well. But for the pace of Caro think he would have scored his interception. Both may benefit from drier conditions.

No, I read the fans comments on here,singing section thread etc. Do seriously think you get behind the team like you should ? If you had ever been to the boulevards threepenny stand you would have known what getting behind your team is !

Think Rankin will be a world beater for you guys. He is agile, great kicking game and the fastest player on the park.

I did used to stand in the threepenny stand...

Baffled reading this thread! Westerman shot the line a few times and connected hard but didn't complete. Not good in a league game but added a degree of physicality. Put a couple of nice short balls in, held up close one time and made a nice half break in the second. I've obviously watched something else
Think rankin is a find on 1St impression. Strikes me as a player who's game will suit it over here.
Feka on the field was my most enjoyable bit of the afternoon! I have no worries over him.
Talonoa grew into the game. He's not gonna be anywhere match fit yet which bodes really well! Physically looks impressive. Think with some match fitness and running in his legs he'd of scored his intercept!
Useful game all round I thought. Paea had a strong game, most props need a few games to get match fit and strong, that also bodes well. Thought watts looked strong when on! Couple of very good carries!
Ellis looks well up for the season. Even warning up looked intense.
Better game than I'd expected.

Don't know about fastest. Caro was shifting when he caught Talanoa.
