@antipodean LOL, he came right around the side clear as day!
@Tim reminds me of Bryants performance against the Crusaders, here we go again..I cringed when I found he was the official..!

@Duluth couple of shit passes from Pulu...noticable how much slower his passes are and not on target.
@taniwharugby he hasn’t on for most of the knocks

Thats a really low percentage option to go for the rolling maul after the hooter. Any sort of held up etc = halftime.
Sums up Blues. Need more rugby nous!

@KiwiMurph yet when we go wider, we drop it!

Except when we scored.
How many rolling maul tries have the Blues scored this year?
-
@Kirwan it was beautiful, right in front of the ref and he didn't notice. Like all the not straight line is (both sides) being missed, that pass from the grind being forward, etc. Referring standard is definitely on the drop, I guess all the directives when they are looking out for other things, they miss the basics?

Patrick’s pass? That wasn’t forward, agree with the rest.

@KiwiMurph I really thought they were going to score with a maul!

@Machpants the 2nd try should have been pulled up for the peel off the maul where the guy got in front of the ball carrier and ran into Nock. Basic stuff.

Jezzz, is Ardie our best 7 and 8 right now?
As was suggested after last week's game, princep is useless with ball in hand from 8 but give it to Ardie and wow!
And he's been everywhere already.
And for the 3rd 5/8... What about Ma'a? He's been first recover for almost half the Blues possessions and has kicked and distributed as well as any of our youngsters.

Don’t know, but he’s certainly the tallest 7 or 8.
He’s in a real purple patch and has become the Mr Reliable this Canes team needs.
On Karl T, I think his form has gone backwards. Not unusual for a guy that came from relative obscurity and had a big season last year. All the same, he’s been disappointing so far this season.
