Frequently Asked Questions & Member Consensus

Two home games at McLean Park left this month — What is the community consensus?

Gutted reading that Bell Park scoreline tbh 😭 but mate, McLean Park on a Sunday arvo with Taranaki in town?? Our lot never make it easy but that crowd will drag them over the line, I was there for the Otago game and the noise was unreal 🔥🖤💛 already got my tickets, see youse in Napier 💪

Hawke's Bay's best rugby happens when we stop trying to be flashy and — What is the community consensus?

Folding like a deckchair once doesn't make it a system, mate — was that the same Friday night you were calling for Duley's head after the first thirty minutes? I enjoyed the grind as much as anyone, but a single wet-weather win at McLean Park proves the conditions suited us, sweet nothing else. Show me it repeated against a decent lineout and I'll agree it's our best rugby.

Time to raid the neighbours again — What is the community consensus?

"Won't name names yet". That's forum-speak for "I read it somewhere and can't back it up." Wider training group squad member, off contract? Show me the numbers before we start the welcome banner.

McLean Park's southerly is worth more points to us than any signing — What is the community consensus?

The panic you're describing happens in gale-force southerlies, and I don't remember Counties weekend being one of those. Show me the numbers on their kicking accuracy that arvo versus a calm day and I'll concede; until then 12-6 looks like twoaverage sides grinding out a defensive scrap, same as they'd do anywhere. Love the legend, but wind didn't tackle anyone into the mud alo
