Not a bad shout Truth � Manawatu will be a good measuring stick to competing with the mid-to-top table teams. Thought Prattley had a reasonable game. Missed the first half but thought he was sound in the second period. From what I was told it wasn�t a bad thing I missed the first half, not to mention I got in for free! Although it wasn�t an out and out penalty I thought there was some cause for a shout. Think 5 out of 10 refs would give that one although usually Otago wouldn�t be on the receiving end � so you have to take it. (how many times have bad calls snatched a victory from Otago?). Think it could be a real fight between the bottom six teams to be honest - watch for a real dog fight.
