Cap Prem 2020

Disband the United Elite unless they rename themselves the Sharkcods?

Id imagine quite a few players will be 'on the market' for other clubs

and second team

Apparently not.

apparently yes

I got told the second team is still going to be welly united players but why would any player with the slightest ambition stick around when there no chance of moving up to the first team?

Quiet a few of the academy players are in the WeeNix already. So it will help them get competitive game across the whole year.

Whoever says the quality of debate on this forum is poor is obviously a proper sharkcod.

IBU have the same squad as last year including the chubby fella at CB

Heard they have a new coach as well?

Haha brilliant insider info Gazza. You been stalking the training? There have been a few changes so not quite the same squad. And it's still very early days.

Mate, I have just been hearing a few snippets about ibu. Hopefully you got a new cb though, the chubby fella should be in cap 1 or 2 and someone decent in the midfield. 

Any other news on player movement?

Dunno who you're talking about. We only have finely tuned athletes.

Haha yeah mate, you sure do

Heard IBU got taken to the cleaners in there first hit out against ole

Gazza, can we have your match report on the IBU Hilton game please?

you sound like such a massive fan

You back to IBU this year Kakky?

Yup, Back to the bay!

Anyone know how KCU are getting on, hard to8 judge as they pulled out of Hilton.

What happened in the game between Wharf and I think Stop Out. Or is that next week?

they had a friendly last night. Good hard close fought game. Packer is a very good player but a bit of a hot head (which is saying a bit as there were quite a few hot heads playing).

??

All of Stop Out are good players but hot heads

This would be true based on reports of the brawl last year in the Stop Out v Lower Hutt game which evidently went on for some time with several players from both sides "going for it"

If these issues have not  been addressed by the Stop Out Club expect more of the same this year.

For KCU, I believe Ricki Herbert's boy kale (i think that is his name) is still there, They have a new coach and a young squad so could be a surprise package.

Beat Red Sox Manawatu last week 5-0 and are playing Palmerston North Marist this weekend from what i hear.

2-0 to Wharf over IB in the opener

How boring Feverish.

Was a good game to watch - both teams looked to play and there were a number of chances both ways.  Sutherland ripped an absolute screamer first time that cannoned off post, but was capatilised on seconds later by Connor Ramsey to complete his brace.

IBU definitely not outplayed, just couldn't finish, and Spargo in goal for Karori pulled off a few beautiful saves.

Was a game of two halves for Spargo. Couldn't catch a cold or pass wind in the first half but the second pulled off probably half a dozen top draw saves to keep Wharf clear

Apologies. 

Yep good game

Lino needs to go to specsavers and Nigel gave a rubbish first yellow and declined the tuck of the shirt from the last man (ref rant over)

That's Nigel...

Victoria win over Brooklyn 4-1 at Kelburn

Some rugby scores out there today!

IBU 2-2 with Miramar after Miramar led 2 nil. IBU most of play, especially in the second half.

BNU were up 2 nil over the Greeks with about 20 to go.

Upper Hutt 2 Wharf 4. Skipper Jock Sutherland scored all 4 for Karori.

Lovely Levi-Jock goal at full speed after 10m. 2-0 after 30m. UHutt 2-2

at halftime. Jock scored  1m into the second half and added one more later.

Argentine Wharfie Leo was good value in midfield and Ethan Cain did well

also. Pedro got one of the UH goals. 

Wellington (Phoenix) United up 6 nil over Petone in first half!

Make that 12! Taking the piss!

I saw some of the Utd v Petone game. Petone didn't look they wanted to be there - did absolutely nothing. Hard to guage utd on that
