Highlanders vs Blues

And the Parsons project will get rolled out for another 2 years,got absolutely owned by Coltman this evening..Will not get any better,it’s time to go to the market and get a top level halfback ..2 really key positions and we are so off the pace In these areas it’s not funny..Tom Robinson may have have been caught out down the blindside,but he makes up for his other efforts in spades..probably done more in his short career than whole lot more that been fortunate enough to wear a Blues jersey.

Forwards were flat after the first 30mins. It seemed to be a tactic not to commit numbers and it didn’t work. We never recovered from the glut of possession the Highlanders had either side of half time
We need the bye week
Hopefully MacDonald rotates the pack more in the 2nd half of the season

@kev Dunno why Cowley-Tuioti is starting ahead of Goodhue. I'd have Scrafton off the bench too, if he's fit.

@Tim we don’t seem to trust players. Thought guys looked tired. Other teams rotate players in and out. Keeping momentum.
@kev I thought Macca had done the right thing by rolling out an unchanged team. But shit yeah the guys looked out on their feet. Didn't have the hunger tonight.

@Kirwan still an egg though. What was that about with Jantjies?
You mean Lentjes who the ref told to shut up earlier?
Haha that one. The one who got shoved by Reiko while just walking back to the scrum.
A nudge whilst both players were mouthing off.
Oh my mistake, Reiko isn't a dick then.
Says the guy with AfterDavid in his team...
What the fuck is this? What does Smith has to do with it?
The point being there are plenty of mouthy pricks in every team.

Wow great point. Thanks Cotton. I will never criticise any player again, as I'm sure there's other players who may have done the same thing. So enlightening.

We were pretty bad and seemed real slow to the breakdown. Our pack looked lethargic, so the bye has come at the right time for us. A lot of players on high minutes.
Papali'i was our best player. He's starting to string the good games together.

Enlightening you say. Says the guy who says the same thing about Rieko every week.

Easily. Considerably better than any of our other forwards.
He should put a ladies red haired wig on and people might notice him
-
@Tim said in Highlanders vs Blues:
@Duluth Atleast sub or rest Akira Ioane occasionally.
Give Sotutu a run.
@KiwiMurph Wouldn't say no to that even though he won't. At least he'd bring aggression at breakdown time.

Which isn’t a surprise when the coach didn’t pick the squad
If he doesn’t rate guys like Moulds/Apisai then pick someone else next year

@kev said in Highlanders vs Blues:
@Duluth good coaches use all their players well. Bullshit excuse.
Well they aren’t all his players, still has Tana’s shit selections to phase out.
If they don’t rate the backups, then they need to recruit replacements. If this is happening next year then you have a point.

Akira was missing badly tonight the tougher it got the more he disappeared and Rieko needs a rest he looks worn out
Blues have a tough run home Crusaders away and Hurricanes twice@Chris said in Highlanders vs Blues:

Plus the tactics to stand off the rucks just played into their hands.

The timing of all the byes is a bit of a mystery to me. How do they plan them at SANZAAR? Blues already going into their 2nd bye, and the Crusaders just had their first this weekend. The Jaguares had their first in round 6 and their second this weekend. It's really odd.

Probably because we traveled early in the draw?
