    We’ve just got to stick the course… games like this are going to happen. Doesn’t make it enjoyable though.

      Can’t say I missed Jonah Lowe… comparing him to Macca Springer is massively disrespectful

      Springer would look equally as shit in maroon.

      He'd be slightly better

      Tangitau and Nareki have shown good wingers look good in any team. Springer would fucken hold onto the ball for starters

      Comparing Springer to Tangitau and Nareki is the real fucking insult here.

        That's my point about JRK, great quick kick and run, then just kicks it away. Has the flash skills but no smarts

        Jesus mate give him a chance to get more than 1.5 games under his belt. He's also playing for a team in absolute struggle city, so he has to go overboard.

        I had no idea where he is at game wise. Just everyone bigging him up and I just don't see it

        Bigging him up? You mean talking about him being one of the bright lights for the highlanders and saying he's better than the little blonde guy?

                      What is Smith's role? I sure hope he's not in charge of the attack...

                                More so the assistants - but here’s the thing. Name me a coach who has done well in a second stint… my fear was, and still is, that he might just be a coach from an older era.

                                The big positive he brings is better selection, and better recruitment, but I still maintain I’ve seen worse Highlanders teams play better. I’m not using this year as the litmus test, but I think it is entirely possible JJ isn’t the messiah we want him to be.

                                  The same Jamie Joseph that won that one title in 2015, left, did “x” with Japan that made him one of the best coaches in the world and would fix all the highlanders problems?

                                    I’ve got way more questions about Dermody, Brown and Joseph then I do about these players.

                                    Roger Clark is rlthe man who oversaw good squads, them disappearing, bad squads, and having to rebuild five years behind other franchises.

                                      From an AB perspective pleasing to see Finau play so well week in week out

                                      The thought of Finau and Sititi in the same backrow to take on the French and the Springbok is very exciting.

                                        Yeah, surprised the new ownership haven’t swept him out.

                                          Although, that Lasaqa turnover is a perfect illustration. There's something rotten in their heads with the amount of half chances that are meekly turned over immediately. Drop it, pass it to the opposition, ruck turnover.... Almost every fucking time.
