        Some ABs looked very fucking average out there.
        Williams miss on Patafilo will be fun to watch in the review.
        Those Moana loosies were great, Faiilagi was a machine.

          Awesome game from MP they might be really hard to beat at home after this win, confidence from this win away.
          Crusaders well you fuckers did not turn up
          It had a taste of Last year for me.
          Need to kick some arses, some players should pay when selection time comes around going forward.

              Right down to the captain looking like an NPC player at best.

              Like you say, shades of last year, pretty ugly.

                        21st minute - how the fuck does Gardner come up with "two blue off side" when he's clearly behind other players?

                          Yep, and I was keeping an eye on Ethan Blackadder (always been a huge fan), and I ask is there a busier player, who actually does nothing of any worth? He was there but a second or 2 behind being useful all game!

                          The emperor has always been nude, but I hope you're not questioning a selection decision by those who know better than you.

                          I quite often question why players are selected, but as always I figure they have reasons for doing it.
                          But in reality, I don't think Blackadder has been this ineffective previously (my opinion), I don't know if has lost a bit of speed, or simply got confused what his role is now, I even thought Gardiner was reasonably generous to him on the number of times he looked to be close to coming in from side at ruck time.

                            Agreed Chris. McLeod and Aumua should be sent to club rugby after being totally outclassed by Toala & Patafilo, 1 of Hannah or Barrert should make way for your best lock Shalfoon, George Bower great guy but he doesn't need to be starting again anytime soon. Hotham probably better off as impact at this stage bring back Preston. Lio-Willie obviously back at 8, the young fella Anderson? Fed to the Wolves that are Savea and Faiilangi by Penney. Tough assignment awaits over in Fiji

                              Barrett really is just looking like a super rugby journeyman so far. Hopefully he's just pacing his season.

                              Barrett the latest in a long line of All Blacks to just go through the motions in Super Rugby… I don’t really understand why he didn’t take a break until April.

                                Scott Barrett Allblacks captain.

                                Deary me.

                                Useless.

                                He was in our top 3 most important players prior to getting the "Armband".

                                Non existent since.

                                  Don't disagree on any of your post but there was enough starting players in there to win that game.
                                  Hotham played Ok considering the shit ball he was getting from a passive forward pack who got out muscled.
                                  Some players who are starters in the team didn't stand up Barrett,Grace,Blackadder were poor Hannah looked under done Anderson out of his depth,
                                  O'Conner,McLeod and Amua were poor,Springer looked lost in the headlights,Jordan well he had no show with what was going on in front of him,
                                  That performance was totally down to attitude or lack of it.
                                  that's not taking anything away from MP who played their hearts out.
                                  I would send a message to some players and send them back to holding tackle bags.

                                    @Chris I know they need to give players breaks, but Taylor at least should have started given he didn't play last week, seems they took them too lightly?

                                    Once MP got a bit of a roll and confidence, gee they are fun to watch, similar to the Drua but not quite as flamboyant

                                      @Chris I know they need to give players breaks, but Taylor at least should have started given he didn't play last week, seems they took them too lightly?

                                      Still was enough players in the starting 15 to win that game.
                                      Yeah great for MP and the Competition I hope they go on and build on that win and push for a top 6 spot.

                                        Need to kick some arses, some players should pay when selection time comes around going forward.

                                        Agreed Chris. McLeod and Aumua should be sent to club rugby after being totally outclassed by Toala & Patafilo, 1 of Hannah or Barrert should make way for your best lock Shalfoon, George Bower great guy but he doesn't need to be starting again anytime soon. Hotham probably better off as impact at this stage bring back Preston. Lio-Willie obviously back at 8, the young fella Anderson? Fed to the Wolves that are Savea and Faiilangi by Penney. Tough assignment awaits over in Fiji

                                        Don't disagree on any of your post but there was enough starting players in there to win that game.
                                        Hotham played Ok considering the shit ball he was getting from a passive forward pack who got out muscled.
                                        Some players who are starters in the team didn't stand up Barrett,Grace,Blackadder were poor Hannah looked under done Anderson out of his depth,
                                        O'Conner,McLeod and Amua were poor,Springer looked lost in the headlights,Jordan well he had no show with what was going on in front of him,
                                        That performance was totally down to attitude or lack of it.
                                        that's not taking anything away from MP who played their hearts out.
                                        I would send a message to some players and send them back to holding tackle bags.

                                        Yeah, I thought Hotham did well in a poor team effort. Like you say, he was tidy given the shit ball. I thought he had a couple of good cheeky snipes too.

                                          Next week on the road against the Drua who are pretty deadly on their home turf.
