[QUOTE=Tazzmania;482266]I must say I find Sean Maloney's commentary very juvenile and lacking in rugby detail, he just raises his voice and over pronunciates the players name when they get the ball. I find he offers very little "commentary" on what is actually happening in a "rugby sense" or what actually happened in the "play". He is more suited to sevens party astmostphere commentary.
Well said...I thought it was just me. His over pronunciation of the players names drives me crazy.
Sadly looks like Jonah Placid has given way to young Finn Ocallahan on the bench, would have been good to see Jonah get one last run on.
Note: Tim Samson seemed to be practising his kicking skills at the captains run, a possible another late repalcement?

[QUOTE=Chopper1;482290] I think that is good to see that the STAN team is making an effort to correctly pronounce player's names. Rather than the butcher job that the FoxSports team did, and did for over 20+ years.
It is just unfortunate that the Islander names don't "flow off the tongue" as they do for the Kiwis.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Is that our bench backrower? Are those numbers accurate? Almost 200cm and 140kgs? He's a monster in the Skelton mould.

Probably of the broadcast not being rugby but instead being dwarf porn: Moderate.

Looking at the other profiles, if accurate, Connor Seve is a pretty solid specimen too at 19 years old, 117kg and 200cm. You'd think he'd bulk up a bit too as his body develops.

Steam seems a bit dodgy- shame it isn't being broadcast via radio....

If anyone on is at the game and wants to throw some commentary/score updates/thoughts up here- that'd be ace!

Bay of Plenty up 7-0 after 21 mins
