@Duluth great stats - where you getting them from? And do you have ruck speed? Last years blues were clearing a lot of their rucks in 3 secs. Not going any wider this year but slower in my eyes. This year it’s often been Dalton on his own over the ball and as a result slower ruck speed.
The stats aren't on a website or anything that is freely available. I'll post stuff that people request
Ruck speed? More like last year in this game. Akira has been a massive loss and Hoskins hasn't got on the field often enough. I think most of the ruck issues have been late in games when other poor tactics/performances have tired out the pack (shit short kicking, weight of possession from bad lineouts, errors and penalties)
Blues on the left, Canes on the right

Akira has been a massive loss
Massive. He did a lot around the field, even if people didn't see it. Huge defensively as well.

Has he what! We've gone soft without him. Teams smash us in close now. It was evident last year when we played the Reds with him not there that we're worse off without him and this year has proved that.
If there was one guy we could not have afforded to lose, it was him.
@Duluth great stats. How close is Beehre to an ABs callup? All the hype is with Holland, but this guy goes under the radar and has been our best this year.

Similar player to Barrett but a bit taller. I think he should be close. His workrate is very high for a lock

@Duluth certainly looked to have put some muscle on his frame too, without affecting his work rate around the park too
-
It's also notable how fast Beehre is when he does find some space - he has a turn of foot.
Certainly one to keep an eye on for higher honours if he can continue his current form
-
@KiwiMurph yeah I really like him, like @Duluth pointed out, his post contact is great, seems to be one of the best in that regard for me.

You know they'll opt for Shalfoon don't you?

Oh we're discussing changing the captain already?

@KiwiMurph first saw Josh playing 7s for Whangarei Boys at a club 7s tournament in Dargaville around late 2019
Had some serious pace for a tall rangy lad back then and excellent physicality for a 17 year old .. -

Shalfoon sounds like a gentlemans insult from the 1700s
