@Chris-B Mitch Brown one of the most dominant tacklers and most lineout takes.

Interesting that none of 'dominant' tacklers Saders?

Their loosies aren't all that great really - but then again probably also a reflection on the team. If you have a think about the absolute standouts, there's not a long list you'd write for the saders. Just everyone playing a part.

Doesn't matter the Trophy is in Christchurch it doesn't really mean much to me as a crusaders fan it feels like the SR season is over.

Blues win good on them but the name on the trophy remains the same for the 11th title and 4 in a row.

So get your teeth into this post as I am sure some will love a bite.:fearful_face:

Gloating is just so unbecoming.

Could not help myself

Like Auckland supporters in the late 80s ... the run will never end

It’s got to end sometime so I need to gloat now

Just what I heard
Mo’unga s wife is expecting their first baby this week and has played every minute except the last 4 min against the Landers

When is the last time the Crusaders won without Mo'unga?

Havili and Cameron haven't been good enough in recent seasons.

I would hate to think it’s been awhile he is crucial for us
Cameron is just not up to it we need to develop someone else as back up.

@pakman how does Jordan not have x factor?

Honestly, he's the most unconvincing game breaker to watch. Seems to just plod along and absolutely smokes people left, right and centre. It's so weird.

:fishing_pole:

Not fishing at all. He's ace - but just never looks like he's going to do anything.

Like an invisibility cloak?

He appears like Michael Collins, yet tears it up like Cullen. I can't get my head around it.

Be deadly in his first year or two at international level.

It's the magic of Ta$man!

They should put him in the lineout, but Shannon and PariPari are killing that!

I think of razors 7 losses, 4 have been with mo'unga out.

Dead rubber games have a history of the fans getting all excited but the winning players simply not having enough motivation compared to the other team whose fans pretend there's actually something on the line. There isn't.

Thinking of Waugh's Aussie cricket team, 3rd and 4th play-offs, Liverpool this season etc.

So Blues off a bye and at home should win and then their fans will have 9 months of talking up a team that yet again have won fuck all

Hope they have a final next year, not to determine the best teamm but just to give landers fans another game to watch

Shhhh dont fucken spoil it

Do widths count? I thought you were supposed to lengthwise?

Blues will go to any length to avoid another loss

Yeetyaah

If this weeks games don't go ahead, do the Chiefs technically win as they're the only team to play all of their games?????
