Naki Surrender
Fan in the Stand
Written by the Review-minded Fan in the Stand   
Thursday, 29 October 2009
Sunday’s defeat was symptomatic of the Bay season, a roaring start followed by a limp surrender. There was a real end of season feeling to the match, tackling was optional for both sides and we scored 4 tries for the first time this season.  A 24-6 lead at half-time looked comfortable but within five minutes of the second half, most of the lead was gone. With Junior Polu and Luke Braid off injured, our depth was exposed, the value of certain players is evident when they are absent. The Fan likes to make predictions and I predict that nobody on the pitch in the second half will be selected by the Chiefs – unless they are drafted from Taranaki.

Chiefs Poll Result
Newsflash

The Mafia faithful have voted and they believe 5 Bay players will make the Chiefs in 2010. Latimer and Delany are definites, McGougan is very likely but who will the others be?

Bay fade badly in last hurrah
Bay of Plenty Times
Written by Jamie Troughton   
Monday, 26 October 2009

Today's Mad Monday celebrations got a little bit angrier for the Steamers after a deflating finish to their season yesterday.

Seemingly down to the last handful of fit players in the entire province, Bay of Plenty wilted under Taranaki's second half deluge to lose 30-24 at Baypark.

It was far from a fitting end to a season which has provided more high notes than low, though their seventh-placing on the table is a good reflection of the amount of depth available.

Bay v Taranaki
Newsflash
Written by Kiwi Pie   
Friday, 23 October 2009

Update: We lost 30-24 having been 24-6 up at half-time. At least we got our first 4 try bonus of the season. Final position: 7th. 

With Delany and Latimer unavailable (2 Bay players in the All Blacks squad - still getting used to that), there are changes for this Sunday's game at Baypark against Taranaki. Moore is back to the starting side, Hohneck back at blindside, Burleigh to 10 so Hunt moves into 12 and Hughson to 13. Sikeli Bola is a new name on the bench joining McCashin who is finally back from his injury against Auckland. Here's hoping for a winning finish and a 7th place finish.

24 October 2009 @ Baypark Mount Maunganui – kickoff 2.35pm
BOP Steamers v Taranaki
Toby Arnold, Zar Lawrence, Wayne Hughson, Nigel Hunt, Jason Hona, Phil Burleigh, Junior Poluleuligaga, Colin Bourke (captain) Luke Braid, Zac Hohneck, Culum Retallick, John Moore, Ted Tauroa, John Pareanga, Joe Savage.
Reserves: Dean Elmiger, Daniel Schuster, Mark Burman, Matt Henwood, Josh Hall, Nic McCashin, Sikeli Bola.

 
Mike Delany, All Black
Fan in the Stand

The Fan in the Stand wishes to salute Mike Delany for making the All Blacks squad for the Northern Hemisphere tour. It is an incredible achievement for the man and I think even Bay fans were surprised when the squad was announced. Glen Jackson never cracked an All Black squad despite vociferous backing from the Steamers faithful although in those days the competition for the 10 jersey was much greater.
