Welcome aboard.
Long suffering Blues fans will take more than that to rise to your rancid bait
We've lifted this year, but Blues/Highlanders used to be the competitive derby games to watch as a Blues fan. We should beat them at home... but can't ever be too confident. I expected teh Chiefs to dust them up in Round 1, and we know how that turned outYes, when things start going this well I start to get nervous.
don't give us that
Yesterday Blues posters were all about rotating out players to rest them up for championship deciders later in the year.
You're up and about, and already buying bottles of silver polish.
own it
Currently we are clearly in the top two, but that can change pretty quick in a NZ conference. Our worst teams are strong teams in the SA and OZ conferences, for example.
Even when we were "bad", if the QF spots were manipulated to get one form SA and OZ there we'd have made those.
And if you are talking about Duluth's "rotation", that was a whopping TWO players. Hardly 2007 R & R levels there.

I just read it again and people were talking about a bit of a reshuffle and giving guys time on field to cover for injuries. Not really seeing the backtracking or the original "rotating" as such.
Certainly not for championship deciders - we are far to experienced for that nonsense.

It's the decade plus of failure showing through. You're a chiefs fan you should understand.

Nope
We finally have good coaches, Coventry has the forwards humming, and much fitter which is making a hude difference on defence. And Leon is making far better selections than the past two coaches. -

@Kirwan spot on. And consistent selections too, clarity about what the team needs from different positions
-
Josh Ioane ruled out of this game. NMS still not available either. Ngane Punivai cleared to play.
@Stargazer godammit. Blues B by a million.

You....you picked up on that? I see you got your serious mask on quicksmart once required.
Williams was the ref in round 1 wasn't he? Thought he was good but had to laugh when I messaged the old man and all he did was come back complaining about the ref and the highlanders terrible win percentage under him.
