Drive it, Hammer! Drive it!
Hey, you're still here, haven't seen you for a while. Was starting to get worried.
At least the winning of the game from the Highlanders was due to their two Magpies try scorers.
Also a 10 point contribution from Ta$man's Mitch Hunt and Hammer's coaching!
To the chiefs? Hammer's coaching at the breakdown was about as good as Hunt's electric attacking play. Reckon if they're training back moves with him involved they could replace him with a tackle bag.

Hammer's lineout and drive was awesome though. A whuppin'!
And Mitch kicked the necessary goals.
TAB said Chiefs $1.33, Highlanders $3.10, so cavilling from Highlanders supporters is uncharitable at best!

Mitch just keeping the score close by missing that unnecessary sitter of a conversion shot after the first try.

Happy with the set piece eh, really accurate as opposed to basically everything else.
Biggest issue at the breakdown for the Landers was slow arrival due to making their way around the tackler (or getting caught in front of the ball carrier). Easy fix as they shouldn't be doing that now, just go straight and if the tackler obstructs then it's pen time.
It's not going to happen but Hunt needs to be bench at best.
Koroi and Gilbert looked like they were on debut.
Great to see matchbox looking capable, not quite form of old but certainly didn't stink up the joint.
Tomkinson went ok, but again he should be the bench player - think his aggressive running could be more dangerous towards the end of the game.
Thought Dickson really stepped up and Parkinson looked comfortable (although needs to bulk up).
Dixon put in a performance typical of him.
MMT for MOTM.
Really liked Smith's game, thought he was sharp for first game back and will only improve.

@Yeetyaah ref said it was in the tackle, but didnt rule a knock on, odd sequence

Yeah I'm guessing he ruled out a deliberate knock forward so convinced himself there was no offence to rule on. Was weird.

Koroi was terrible up until that milked card. Highlanders might be better for it.

@Tim said in Highlanders v Chiefs:
Joe Wheeler couldn't sound like more of a meathead.
An I have a whinge about the pre-match panel of Bernie, Wheeler and Bates?
When I tuned in it was just a cacophony of yelling and over excitement and talking over the top of each other.
Just couldn't stand it. Muted it and waited it out with beer on the deck.
Neither Bates and Wheeler have natural voices as TV presenter, and BOK is better than that performance.

wtf going on with sky not showing any replays of the breakdown before pens.. just show players walking to lineouts or lining up kicks.. odd.

Sky in pre season form too.

@WillieTheWaiter said in Highlanders v Chiefs:
that was a clear red recently.. did that rule change?!
He's up in the air competing for the ball. Can't believe that is a card- the threshold has been lowered further.

At least the second time this season that Super Coach has gone into a game for the Chiefs perhaps reading too much into his own press....

fuck me that was a lot of penalties.
the off-side thing was policed as inconsistently as ever - the issue with the rule is not really in how far back you are, but in it being ruled the same every time, and that hasn't been fixed. we will continue to see more penalties from this change.
good to see the death of rolling and cribbing on the ground, players will stop doing it now it's being penalised, so that's all good.
the breakdown, i dunno. the side-entry penalties should clean up as that's an easy thing for players to recognise. the clear-lift thing... so many of these turnovers i see guys (boshier) lying on the player on the ground, not supporting his own weight, then pushing up. to me that's a penalty to the guy with the ball before it's a penalty to the defender.
