              @antipodean Can't win the close ones with holes in the squad. This isn't MacDonald's squad.

                It's been a problem since 2011 at least. Year after year.

                      Tana was one of the problems; some of the players are simply not up to it, either. It will take some time to fix things; Blues fans should give the new coaches some time.

                          @Stargazer Agreed. Hey this result was an improvement on leaking 60 on Eden Park to these guys last year!

                            It might not be Leon's squad, but there's no clear patterns. No obvious clarity in the player's decision making let alone improvement in execution.

                            The current coaching staff have this year as a gimme.

                                This ref is so crap just another example of shit reffing all around. The last try. How is that not a penalty at the scrum. The blues put in a shunt sharks move backwards and the collapse the scrum. Yet it's okay on. Utter shit. And the tmo call after the sharks made two clean breaks where number 2 held back defenders creating the gaps is just grating. I mean why bother. Just give the home team the points and don't play the game

                                    @number9 He did that last week as well. Quiet 1st half, really stepped it up in the 2nd.

                                      The entire Blues forward pack was very average. Parsons was outright bad. Goodhue, Akira, invisible; Robinson ineffective (spilling his energy); Papali'i some dumb stuff (giving away penalties).

                                      Nanai best Blues player; midfield very average; Collins bad. Ruru trying, definitely better than Pulu, but making mistakes. Black gets a pass mark. Good cameo off the bench for Tele'a with a good try.

                                        @Rebound I know what you mean. Shit ref.
                                        It's wierd - last season the Kiwi teams came roaring out of the blocks. This year, WC year, (where you would expect us to be firing on all cylinders) and most of our teams (Saders excepted) look like they're still on holiday at the beach, or at worst in the bach at the Coromandel.

                                          @ShadowTrooper Maybe the focus this year is too much on the RWC? Those ABs protocols are also a burden. It's affecting all teams, Saders included.
