Reckon he heard the hooter? I can't imagine any player being so mong if he did.
It's kind of his job to have an understanding of the game situation.

Don't select him next week. You make that sort of a fuck up, you deserve to be dropped.
The young 12 did some good things but should be dropped for that hungus when Rieko would have scored. The Blues just can't afford to have that sort of dipshittery.

It's standard fare at the moment from NZ teams not called the chiefs.

Yeah, if the guys with their heads buried knew, then he's got to. I'm intrigued what justification he could try and give now.

Much better 2nd half after a flattering 1st half score line
Scrum was superb and dominant through the 80 minutes
BB showing some excellent vision
Happy with the win but some of the decisions individuals make in the moment beggars belief but that final play was next level madness -

Feel sorry for Taavao
Sky keeps blaming Angus. Of course he missed the kick. He was in shock about how retarded Nock is

Yeah he was hung out to dry there.

Apart from whatever the hell was going on at the end there, job done for the Blues. We hung tough when under pressure and came away with points nearly every time we entered the red zone. The senior players stood up too.

Yeah some better work on attack.. still a long way to go.
The defence was excellent apart from kick chase. Hoskins and Papalii leading the way. We need someone to claim that 3rd loose spot though. Choat might be the best option for now?
I think that’s 5 disallowed tries in the last 2 weeks? Correct calls, but very frustrating when the Force get away with a clear lineout infringement on review

Shut up Wilson.
All other NZ sides get parochial local commentators
I was pretty dumbfounded a couple of weeks ago to find that many "lay" type rugby fans think TJ has sticky Blues posters in his bedroom.

The Blues have some ongoing issues with discipline but I thought they were much better at two crucial things: (1) they were pretty ruthless with getting points when they entered the Force 22, and (2) they were better at stopping the Force when they got entries (a few of these were a bit lucky). I'd be happy if I were a Blues fan, that's a much better performance and they can still improve the team by bringing back Lam to the starting lineup.

All of those people should be prevented from breeding
Blues games should have Jeff McTainsh as the main commentator (don’t know who he supports but he’s not TJ) . Parsons and another for colour commentary. Parsons is the equivalent of a Marshall, Wheeler etc

With Telea out for a while I’d play Lam on the wing and keep Taele/Ioane in the midfield

Yeah blatant incompetence on that try.
I also think Choat for now is our best 6 option. At least he can disrupt at breakdown and drives in contact with a bit of purpose. Either way, we'll need all available loosies for Suva, and a 6-2 bench is a must.
Please, to our kickers, to look to put the ball out next week. We're asking for trouble if we ask them to run it back to us.

Same, better balance out wide. Perofeta can go to the bench for now, Evans can have the other spot.
