guess this puts all the rumors to bed that evarn was back in auckland...

 

[Defence_old]

Looks like likiliki will be marking up on bristow- that should be interesting

 

[Viking_old]

Tulson as a prop? He was about 94kgs at the beginning of last year! Maybe he's bulked up in the off season. Good player anyway.

That's a strong squad, Vulcans should smash them.

 

[Magic Stick_old]

Two strong teams

 

[Spence_old]

Strong centre pairings for both teams! Will be an interesting battle of the backs. I'll be heading down.

 

[bigstuboy_old]

wicked game

 

[Fazz_old]

I wish they'd dump Ivan Penehe. Grand Final losing bastard lol.

 

[mrblonde_old]

I guess Sky have made no commitments to show the NSW Cup this year beyond what happened last year...

So hopefully there's several Vulcans-Warriors days during the season.

Mighty Manu Ma'u gets a go, awesome to see. He will turn a few heads this season I'm sure of it. Steve Waetford at 6? Not sure if I've ever seen him play their before he usually plays on the wing or fullback for Howick.

Can't wait to get down to Mt. Smart to support the boys.

Yeah but at this stage Mau and Matagi can only play home games.

Steven Waetford has that flair and natural talent he could go a long way imo.
But is only a makeshift half, as is james blackwell.

More of trying to find places for some quality players.

I thought Stowers from Papakura did enough in the trials to get a run.
He carved against the island team and played good for Counties this year.

He will get some gametime in the vulcans halves this year.

 

[2big2strong_old]

Mau and Matagi not have visas/passports or crim records?

 

[Beeteejay_old]

So hopefully there's several Vulcans-Warriors days during the season.

Triple headers are awesome! Though I won't be holding my breath for any.

lol...i swear everytime his name gets mentioned in a conversation someone quips...'all he had 2 do was hold the f**ken ball'

It's probably me that's saying it every single time on here hahaha.

 

[SMAC19_old]

nah everyone i know too...forever to be tarnished with that brush

wonder if he grew that beard so no one recognizes him...i know i didnt

 

[Spence_old]

Hmm, maybe I won't head over in this weather... I'll probably be swept into the harbour on my way over.

 

[d13_old]

Good to see Ikahihifo back in his proper position,all the rumours during the pre-season about him posssibly becoming a back up prop to cover for injuries had me cringing

Powerful centre combos Inu,Bristowe,Likiliki,Sau...that's worth going to see in itself,great match ups

 

[bigstuboy_old]

caant wait to see the guy in the cowboy hat again everyone should just wearing them hats and sit next to him
