Paul Dwyer tracked down Dean Moeahu the coach of the high flying Green Island - spannerheads or grizzlies whatever you prefer - to find out why they are going so well.
They sit third in the comp and are looking like real contenders this year. He also got Dean's take on the titanic struggle his side had with neighbours Taieri in the" battle of the saddle" last weekend.
He talks us through the agonising one point loss. He also gives his views on the tug-of-war with Kaikorai over the services of young loosie Sean Jansen.
We hear his views on Paul's form and he gives his expert opinion on the Prem games being played at 4pm tomorrow.
