From Toll Stadium mud to Semenoff lights, 60 years of being Taniwha
i remember back when i was a young fella watching the taniwha get stuck into the mud at toll, jerseys brown by halftime and nobody cared a jot 😄 sixty years of soaked saturdays and the game's still in the blood. that 2011 night in whangarei though. The whole western stand singing taniwha while the floodlights cooled down, you don't forget a thing like that. seen worse, and wouldn't trade a single one of those nights.

Sounds good but I've played on Whangarei fields in July too, the ball just sits there, skill shows either way. Honestly though, fair on the loyalty, that western stand in winter is a character test.Hype isn't an argument.

Honestly t…Spot on about the skill, but the surface totally dictates the value and how you set the lines on the multi.The line moves — catch it.
