Yeah agreed, very cynical, but also something that is done by every team in the comp at some level - the tahs were doing it, the reds were doing it, a terrible way to get injured though - was about 20 metres away from mitchell when it happened...nearly lost my dinner tbh.Cynical play from Higginbotham. Surprised he wasn't pulled up over that.
This post is all superb. I'm not a Munro hater as he's now had to do the hard yards for Northland and I think he's matured with it, but Volty's post is a perfect reason to dislike a player and one I can certainly support [especially point #1]Two things:
1) he's got one of those faces that is just asking for a punch. Exhibit A:
2) During an Auckland Ranfurly Shield defence against North Otago, it was coming up to half time, and Auckland were ahead 47-3 or something similar. Either way, 100 points was always going to be on the cards. Anyhoo, Auckland were hot on attack, and instead of spinning it wide for another try, the show pony decided to snap a droppie from in front of the posts. Ball-hogging, arrogant little ****.
Yeah, hope they got it early. The hypochondriac in me is awakening.Awful news about Kurtis Haiu.
You mean there's another way?!could have tossed a coin a bit here tbh
Was so sad to hear about Haiu's bone tumour; hes been such an asset for Auckland and the Blues over the years, has a family and kids and I imagine they're devastated to hear the news.Awful news about Kurtis Haiu.
