Fantastic game to watch ,
the negative being the injury to Dmac , if its ACL , he wont feature in the WC you would think, usually a 12 month injury ,
that might confirm Richie Mounga in the 23, BB covering FB , no more injuries please .

Thought Karl T was, to quote Matt Cooper “outstanding”.

@kev said in Chiefs vs Blues:
@KiwiMurph thought Moulds looked really good. Nailed his throw(?s). Went forward with runs. Blues ran out of time.
Given Hodgman was carrying well into contact, he probably didn't expect the pass. Tu’inukuafe was huge again. As was the big ginger.
@antipodean yeah pretty sure Hodgman was meant to carry, draw the defender, but he threw the 50/50, ah well, plenty of other opportunities, shouldn’t dwell on that last play.

What a game!
Didn't watch live and was just gonna scan through as you do when you don't have time...watched the whole thing.
One of those games you get so involved in, feeling for both teams with every drop, every missed tackle so much more knowing how much it is gonna mean, both teams worthy of a win but someone was always gonna lose that one.
On that one where BBBR monstered Nock, Blues loaded one side of the ruck, but left him totally exposed on the other, did it again next ruck too.
Fuck @rotated musta thrown his remote through his TV when Goodhue, Nock and Moulds went out there...4 quota Players on the park at the same time.
This Blues side is different to previous years, sure they weren't able to close this game out, but I think this was different to those games when they couldn't close it out.
I say again, what a game!

@mariner4life Haha well done was a great game. Hope we don't drop our heads now it's unfortunate to lose but it's important to stay focused with another big game next week.

Not sure if you guys know but in the last 2 minutes Retallick was very ginger clutching at his left elbow. He was lying on the ground for a bit in the last seconds then hobbled back to our D line very slowly

Boomfa!

Great game of footy. Just watched the second half on replay. Was on a win / win (and I suppose a lose / lose) in that game given Chiefs are my team, but was more than happy for the Blues to continue their run.
Was really quite surprised looking at the teams as the Sky comms announced them just how evenly matched they were. I kind of try and work out individual v individual to see where the advantage might be. And even where there was a obvious better player (Retallick, Rieko) it wasn't necessarily overwhelming (PT, AlaimaLOW).
There was a knock on before Rieko's try. I called it in real time and TMO was poor not to pick it up. (Good finish though).
Makes up for the knock on before Boshier's (which could be argued was less clear and less obvious so am prepared to forgive that one).

Great game. Despite the loss this Blues team is a different kettle of fish. Chiefs looking like a completely different team to that rabble from the early season. Cliche but NZ rugby was the winner

@antipodean I can supply a phone booth for the number of people who would agree with you..Bryant is about as poor as an official can be especially when it comes to break down..can think back to the Saders v Blues game round 1 where he continued to warn the Saders but failed to dish out out an cards not to mention a deliberate knock down from Manase Matele..no sanctions..
As for Jaco..is about as inconsistent as you can get...!,@Steven-Harris said in Chiefs vs Blues:

I know Chiefs won, but he is demonstrably better than Weber.

Up there with how the hell Tana couldn't see Nanai was just a teency weency bit better than Collins.
Fuck that's a waste of talent letting him go.

The Canes swapped him for the Ginger. If you're not going to use him then can we please have him back? Take the Ginga back as well.

@booboo Umaga ruined him a bit by holding him back. He carved up at 15 when given a go there in 2016 but for some reason was benched for the next season.

Maybe the ABs don't want a reverse Folau.
Players should keep their opinions to themselves, until after they retire. If I was AB selector, I would pick someone other than Weber if it was a close call. He's not good enough for them to wear any heat at all.
(Note, I'm not actually in opposition to Weber's statements so far. I just don't think ABs should start making any political and social statements, because it can only end in tears. If Weber gets to make rainbow statements, why should Fafita not get to put his position too? Quite apart from anything else, it cannot help team unity if some people are allowed to say what they think and others are not.)
