[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 667826, member: 44093"] I was born and raised there, wore the green and white through the age grades and am good mates with a few of the players in the side so get a bit of insight into the squad and that. I watch every game and attend as many as possible. My grandad, dad, two uncles and two of my brothers have played for them so yip I'm a pretty staunch supporter! Which can be testing at times let me tell you. On tonight's game - wellington bombed 3 pretty easy chances in the 1st 20 mins. Curtis' finishing attempt was pathetic really he just had to flop over and tried to cut inside for whatever reason. Shields didn't draw the last defender in, and Matu'u dropped it cold with a huge overlap outside him. In saying that the turbos managed to stay in it and played smarter towards the end of the 1st half. Our 10 on debut was class I thought. Since Cruden made the ABs we've lacked direction a bit from 10, and Otere Black looked the part tonight. Made good decisions, got us in good areas and made those two telling breaks for the tries. Kicked his goals too. Hopefully he can maintain something like that sort of form for the remainder of the season. Gibbins was pretty outstanding yet again. He had better make the full canes squad next year. Wellington must have been disappointed in Thrush, he was at fault for both turbos tries. [/QUOTE]
