Latimer in ABs training squad
Newsflash
Written by Kiwi Pie   
Monday, 20 October 2008

Tanerau Latimer has taken the first step towards becoming an All Black, being named in the wider training squad of 25.

Selection for the tour is not guaranteed though as Scott Waldrom is also named and you would expect only one of them will travel as open-side cover for Richie McCaw. Here's hoping Lats makes the cut.

 
A bridge too far...
The Skitzo

Or maybe 3 bridges, two highways, a roadblock, and couple of international border checks too far for the 2008 Steamers season.  All over now at any rate, time to hit the beach, at least for most of the players.  Perhaps one or two looking at packing bags and heading on a northern tour in black jerseys to finish with, and others, well, reflect with no little pride, and think bigger and better next season...

Why though, did the season fall apart after such a great start?  Plain and simple, not enough quality players, and perhaps a dollop of thick coaching thrown in for good measure...

Road to Nowhere
Fan in the Stand

The Fan is wondering whether the choice of the half-time song “Road to Nowhere” was a comment on our plight at that time. The first 10 minutes of the second half saw the Bay batter the Southland line, gain a man advantage and reduce the deficit with a penalty. The charge down try to Stewart effectively ended the contest. Congratulations to the Stags and let’s hope they can give Wellington a run in the semi-final.

Steamers sunk by rampant Stags
Bay of Plenty Times
Written by Craig Tiriana

Battle-weary Bay of Plenty rugby skipper Tanerau Latimer doesn't know what the future holds but he's proud of his side's efforts over the past four months.
Latimer dejectedly trudged off the field on Saturday night after the Steamers collapsed 45-11 in their Air New Zealand Cup quarter-final against Southland, but was adamant his team had done everything they could.
``It wasn't for a lack of trying,'' the openside flanker said. ``I told the boys do what you can, try what you can, this could be our last day together - and I'm bloody proud of them.
``I honestly think the boys ran themselves off their feet - that last 20 minutes was a real struggle.''
