Chiefs v Highlanders
-
The Chiefs have handed out a few hidings this year. But will they get stage fright again at the pointy end of the season?

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

They need a few veteran players that can show them how to win. None of the players in the squad have ever won anything. They’ve constantly falling short and it can’t be good mentally. They need some serious guidance

You question Jamie Joseph? Bold
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?

Wait, you don’t think he did anything with Japan? Your negativity gets in the way of your level headed thinking sometimes. Dont let it get to you bud.

The same Japanese team that had Eddie Jones before hand and had won pretty every pacific competition leading up to his appointment and had beaten South Africa in a rugby World Cup? Certainly ground up job by Joseph there. Be realistic.

@Landers92 on saying that some of those early unforced errors by your boys in the 2nd half just sent the Chiefs a written invitation to walk in through the front door.

Easier said than done. No point signing journeyman just because they have been in a winning team… how many winners did the Highlanders have in the 2015 team? The Canes in the 2016 team? The Blues last year?

Putting this into perspective. We lost four games by this margin last year.
This is only the second loss we have had without a bonus point.

Oh that's just fucking great. We've got 3 more hidings to come? Jesus wept

Must be tough to ‘support’ a team you feel so negative about.

Crusaders 2x, Canes Away and Chiefs at home… play like that and it could be 5!

Sense a lot of conversations in this thread going around in circles tonight. We got thrashed, a reality check. Bottom line not good enough.
Chiefs were way too good and it’s a reminder of how big the gap is and how far we have to yet to grow. The boys will be hurting but they were their own worst enemy.
Let the loss sink in and don’t let the emotion take over. The show goes on.

Show goes on. It’s about the long-term… when you are already light on top end talent, losing 2 of your best 3 (EDG & Tangitau) is not very helpful.

I'm watching it delayed so will be a fine win.

The scary thing for all other teams is the Chiefs are still yet to welcome back the best AB of 2024 in Sititi. For me, it’s their title to lose from here.

Yeah but nobody has played against Higgins yet.
