Episode 5 is live...

Good to finally have a few other lads front up & jump in the hot seat(s). Nikora Jarvis, Trent Enright & Viliame Baleiwai Bogitini join us from Saracens Rugby div 2 this week for yarn, a laugh & the usual amount of rugby bullsh*t.

Turns out it's not that scary after all. Hopefully a few more of you grow a set and come have a crack.

Who's jumping on next???

Anyway, Scotty's on a mission, so it's Rawiri Ruru Karena, Kurt Williams & Enzo Gray to make up the rest of the panel.

The Grizz Wyllie Battler points are starting to look like a pub TAB account on payday… everyone’s having a crack.

For those who are new to the page, the Grizz Wyllie Battler award goes to best player of the year.

Scott Allin leads the way. Jordy Grey & Tama Faitotonu are nipping at his heels.
But with four blokes parked on 10 and three more on 9, this ladder is more crowded than the bar after prizegiving.

Who’s your pick to take it out?

Great to see some teams mixing up their training methods ahead of the ass end of the year!

🔴⚫️ Big thanks to Anton and his team at Raiders Fight Academy for putting the boys through their paces at their gym last night. A challenging but rewarding session - a bit warmer than the usual training 🔴⚫️

Defences across North Canterbury have lodged a formal complaint.

Apparently these fellas keep turning whitewash into walk-ins. 😅

The Div 1 golden boots.

Scott Allin currently has a stronger relationship with the uprights than most people have with their spouses...

Taine's keeping him honest... who else can catch these blokes?

The Matt Todd / Josh Boyd Battler Table is looking tighter than an IKEA flat-pack with one screw left over. 👀

As you can see the man himself has reached the top 10... we might have to name the award after Josh for the rest of the season... 🙌🏽 ❤️

Just a handful of rounds remaining and there’s absolutely nothing between the front-runners. Every carry, tackle, cleanout and grubby bit of work is counting now.

Who’s your pick to take it out?

Since we're still waiting on Div 1 stats...

"Cough cough"

Here are you top point scorers after 9 rounds of reserve grade action.

The GC's Fitzypatty is creating space at the top, while Ashley's Cannan Elvines is a fresh face in the top 10, he seems set to climb higher...
