Sunwolves v Blues

@Crash said in Sunwolves v Blues:
Ok so now we have a new shopping list
"How to deal with rush defence"
"Mauls sorted"Do you think that is all do you?
Nothing wrong with the lineout? Nothing wrong with the discipline? Nothing wrong with the tackling? Nothing wrong with catching a high ball? Nothing wrong with looking after the ball in a tackle? Nothing wrong with team spirit?
If it was a cricket match you would be saying there is only three things wrong with the Blues - can't bat, can't bowl, can't field.

Something was very wrong in that team this week. The fans deserve answers.
How could we not adjust the gameplan in the heat?? Parsons should not captain again, West should have been able to work that out too.
A lot of blame has to go on Umaga and Jackson though. Poorly coached and stubbornly sticking to a fast and loose gameplan. -
40 - 21 against a team that lost 94 - 7 to the Lions a fortnight ago!

@Number-10 Haha no I got interrupted during the post is all..

@Tim makes you wonder what the game prep has been, turn up, score loads of tries, go home...was a banana skin game for sure, but that was pretty shit.
SO the sole Japanese side has accomplished something the 5 Aussie sides couldnt....

Sunwolves by 10 after Blues were found still partying after exhibition match win....

Well that was a piss poor prediction.
Sooooo....
Jo'burg Lions (94) >Sunwolves (7) >Blues>B&I Lions = ABs
Just give them the Super Cup now!

The pace in attack and aggression at the breakdown was good to watch. Blues passive in defence and then the attack seemed flat-footed. West standing so deep doesn't help.

@ACT-Crusader He's so hesitant on attack. It was really noticable in this game.

My 4 year old gets quite upset when the Blues lose. We didn't watch the game today, and I don't think I'll mention the result to him for fear of permanent psychological damage.
-
I can't help but laugh a bit. At least the Chiefs have mostly been shit through history but this Blues team is fucking hopeless.
How does a team in this real estate be so fucking poke for so long?
-
@Hooroo The board don't hire proven coaches. There have probably been a lot of things going on behind the scenes too. IIRC, apparently the board wouldn't pay for a specialist defence coach/analyst in Lam's final season.

What the actual fuck?
Having not seen the game but just the scoreline, I'm assuming the Blues Cheerleaders played the Japanese National Side.

No, if the cheerleaders had played, they would have demonstrated flair and skill and the ability to string together a series of successful moves.
Considering the player base, the facilities, and the financial resources available in NZ's largest city, the Blues are a fucking disgrace. Something very rotten in an organisation that lurches from one clusterfuck to the next. The fans and sponsors deserve better than this dross. The wonderful Lions win aside, the team has very little to show for the season, yet again. Is it mainly the series of coaches they've had? Or something deeper? Cos DAMN.

Fucking conference system. The play offs are ruined without the Blues...

@Bovidae At least the Mystics made the finals lol.

@Mokey you could argue it runs a bit deeper than the Blues given the Warriors seem to have similar issues.

Given how many coaches we've had, you can't blame the coach either. There seems to be a problem with administration and player attitude. I don't know how to sovle it, but we bloody should. We're a joke.
