Mairangi Murrary fires up!

Dear harbourrugby.com readers

Are you as sick as I am at having to watch the shit that is served up to us in dollop loads from our beloved Harbour?

Honestly, if I have to watch another dose of that shite one more time again this year I think I will be likely to have to smack some poor schmuck in the mouth (and there are 2 at the top of the list).

Since when has single, one off runners been a good option to carry the ball into contact? Since when has it been deemed acceptable to shovel shit to your team mates when going to ground is a better option and since when has it been a wise move to have your captain so far removed from the action, that the encouragement and gee ups he tries to deliver are lost in translation along the f**king backline?

I am sick and tired of having to accept that the players out there are the best we have or can get. That we are trying to create a 'Fortress Harbour' where we never get players in from elsewhere and that we build only from within is just bollocks. When half the population of the North Shore are more interested in Golf, Table Tennis and f**king Badminton it doesn't bode well for the future and the approach that the coaches are asking us to follow. What they are really trying to say (with a positive spin) is that we are skint and have not a cent in our pocket to do anything of worth in creating a team who are capable of providing the support with an attractive product and a winning mentality.

That pile of steaming poo poo that I witnessed on Friday night was the kind of stuff I expect from a JB side on a Saturday morning. Harris - you made a great break down the field, just don't throw the bloody ball away. El Capitano - try and come in off your wing and get the ball a little more so that you don't have to try and weave your magic in 2ft of space and when your little brother comes on for you, get him to run a line that doesn't leave him isolated and obliged to hand the ball over to the opposition backrow. You cannot afford with these new laws at the breakdown to be left on your own for more than a fraction of a second and the best way to avoid it, DON'T GO ON YOUR OWN!!!

Now, get your shit sorted out Mr Dowd and Mr Wilson and turn the ship around before we end up in deeper shit than a Kelston Grammer judiciary defence team. Lets face it, a 25% winning record is not setting the world alight!

Southland this week and it ain't gonna be easy, I will be there and looking for an improvement.

PS - Get rid of McPhee before I do have to shoot the Wooly Mamoth looking muppet!
