The Roar is a bit like rugby. Unless you’ve been at the bottom of a pile on, and copped a few off the bal slippers, you haven’t really played.

Come on, we’ve almost all left the roar at one time or another. I left for a few months last year when things were real nasty.
Tim J
Roar Rookie
That does come into it to a certain degree, also finding your own identity in a new competition.

Is it a lack of spectators. This was really lacklustre.
Faith
Roar Rookie
Because they want to stop using the TMO these kind of tries are slipping through. There was one by Darry against Blues last week.
Faith
Roar Rookie
Very poor showcase for NZ rugby.
Tim J
Roar Rookie
Thanks Ken, much appreciated. Part of the reason also I almost left the Roar, so not a good look.
Tim J
Roar Rookie
Congratulations Hurricanes and their supporters, Highlanders will be disappointed as another game that they were in. Not the best game and plenty for both sides to work on, many basic errors from experienced players. Still early days which supporters need to understand, some positives mixed learnings like all teams.

Jeznez asked me to do the last game, but I am not experienced enough on here IMO.

Good hard running by the Landers. Ardie looks wrecked, should have been guard on that last ruck but turned his back!
Digby
Roar Guru
Thanks goodness for that. Frustrating game from both sides tonight, the reviews won’t be much fun.
TC

No.17 better do some extra work on the tackle bags next week
JD Kiwi

Excellent passage of play by the Canes, decisive movement and power. Why aren’t Lose and especially Umaga Jensen starting?
