Blues v Reds

[No Quarter]

Looks that way, the Reds are a bloody shambles. Ranger playing well so far.

[antipodean]

Stiles was threatening to give the youngsters a run. Looks like he should give the waterboy a week as coach...

A couple of dumb kicks from us there. Let's just keep the ball in hand in that position.

Francis has crap hands.

[KiwiMurph]

Stop with the miracle balls!

[LABCAT]

Faiane is playing well but often seems to push the pass when he should take the tackle instead.

[Tim]

Wasn't that a huge knock on?

[KiwiMurph]

Here's an idea Blues - stop giving away penalties that they can kick to the corners.

[No Quarter]

Mauls are hard to defend at the best of times but the Blues are absolutely clueless in that regard.

looked like it. I'd like these kinds of maybe forward, maybe backwards kind of knocks to be called knock ons more often, it shows a lack of skill that should be punished, no matter whether the ball went forwards 5 cm or backwards. Blues going to lose to this absolute shit team

Steve Jackson needs to go.

Higginbotham hands in the ruck so obvious, Laban (edited) says "good technique". Genius commentator

[Tim]

Smashed by Parsons.

Yup.. Patty got penalised for doing the same thing

[KiwiMurph]

Get Perofeta on the field.

Our defence at rolling mauls is an embarrassment. Good club sides would carve us up in that area.

It's Ken Laban, not Lose. Not that Lose is any better ..

This is what shits me with ref's and consistantsey and week after week there are no improvements

[Bovidae]

I switched to the alternative commentary once I heard the main commentator and sideline commentator speak. At least TJ isn't in NZ.

So my question is, was that Francis' parents shown in the crowd?

As to the game, Higgers never supports his own body weight at the ruck. Nock's passing is crisp compared to Pulu.

The Blues should win this if they are more accurate with their passing (2 forward passes have denied them tries so far).
