Chiefs v Blues

@Crucial said in Chiefs v Blues:
If the game proved anything it's that Umaga has instilled some backbone into the side which should help them immensely.
Whatever, the game changed because the experienced heads came on, the starting team were horrendously exposed and had no answers, the "backbone" came from subbing them off.
The Blues improved when whatever Umaga "instilled" left the field.

@Duluth I agree - I think Collins has a chance to nail the 15 jersey. I'm not 100% sure he is quick/athletic enough, tonight should be very telling in that regard. If he is then I think he is very key. I think Tana and co have identified the Blues need balance in their backline. For years the Blues have basically had a bunch of wingers shoe-horned across the backline - now they have a genuine midfield, a playmaking 9 and an organised fullback. They created a lot of opportunities by utilising space - both with boot and ball in hand. Tonight will be a huge step up so interesting to see how they go.
Am watching on a recording. About 13 mins in. Fullback Collins grubbers into the in goal.
WHY?
WHY? WHY? WHY?
FUCKING BACKS.
WHY?
Now I'm a Chiefs supporter. But FUCKING WHY?
What a fucking waste of ball. Why the fuck would you kick good attacking ball away? ? ?
Fuck I hate stupid little kicks...
Not sure if anyone picked up on it but it made me angry.
On behalf of all forwards everywhere.

it was a poor option taken that's for sure but these little kicks you hate are the equivalent of forwards having endless dabs at the line in a pissing contest when there is a 3 man overlap out in the backs but they refuse to let the ball go.

Bullshit. At least you keep the ball and have another crack.
Poof.

Yeah, I think the Blues lineout problems are more around communication than throwing as shown by this defensive situation.
Chiefs showing some clever thinking in the lineouts though using both locks as lifters etc. Just a pity that had to show that move to the rest of the comp in a game they probably didn't need to.

Another false dawn Blues boys.

@Tim by the time Super 12 started I was in the South Waikato playing for Putaturu.
Grew up in Kaeo, Pahiatua and Kaitaia. So Northlander / Wairarapan / Manawatuan / Northlander.
The only franchise area I haven't lived is Highlanders. So Fuck them.
Eden an awesome club.

@Crucial fuck off crucial, kicking the ball away in that position should be punishable by death

maybe a forward should have been up with the play to give him another option?

Those starting locks for the blues looked like little shrimps next to Retalick and Bird.
Blues totally smashed up front at set piece and breakdown. What the fuck has happened to Akira Ioane?
He was one of the most dynamic and involved players in the NPC last year. Now he stands around in the midfield waiting for someone to pass him the ball.
Why does Auckland rugby (and the Warriors) do this to promising players so consistently? (Turn them into lazy slobs)
-
The Blues seemed to rely on Luatua as their main lineout target so either Retallick or Bird could mark him and they have a huge height advantage. Without those options and variations the Blues' lineout became very predictable. Some of those 4 lineout losses were from attacking penalties too.
-
apparently there was a trial game just recently and the blues forwards gave the chiefs a bit of a touch up in all aspects ,
I wonder if that helped to create a false sense of security within the camp
