Don't want to get too overexcited at this stage but I'm really happy for Pennington scoring that goal. Another little marker on his continuing development this season.
i seem to remember while we didnt get a 12k there was a higher average home attendance in the Rudan season. I was hoping to see consistently better crowdsmartinb

I've no issue with how the Nix have set up/been performing, I'm just lamenting that there have been 4 games at Sky Stadium since the win against Brisbane in early November and the Nix have only won 1 of those, with the rest being pretty unpleasant watches for the casuals (even the win was fairly dull until it exploded into life at the death). Such a shame that the Nix's general performance this season isn't translating into bigger crowds as a result.
When did they last get 12 thousand to a game in Welly? Come on. That’s a huge crowd for the Nix at home. Outside anomalies- end of COVID etc etc that’s a phenomenal regular season crowd. Most of those guys follow the team, watch the tele and understand the situation. The casuals didn’t come back after whacking day.
On a regular Saturday there’s always weddings/kids sport/family commitments/lawn and hedge/etc etc…we don’t know why people don’t turn up, but it’s not just goals and expansive football.
To be fair, the football could be the reason. Rudan didn't have the ladder but he had Williams and Krishna. It was an exciting team. The nix have scored early today and they are slipping into their old pattern of just taking it.
And the refs too weak to card for dissent and crowding the ref. That makes me nervous, as does the length of time before a yellow for persistent fouling was given.

And we were coming out of the end of Merrick and the dark Darje days. Rudan was entertaining and we were winning.

Turning into a bit of a dog fight as is the usual way this season. If we don't manage to get another goal things might get sticky second half when tired legs take effect.
Great game for Supyk tbh. Would also (obviously) love to see GSR get a run. Not sure Ball fits today, and hopefully Kosta’s calmed down a little - could use his pressing and the air of danger he brings
I love this team. Not able to watch unfortunately, but have been following the updates almost religiously. Thank you to all for the running commentary. 🙏
