Chiefs v Highlanders

[gt12]

Well, fuck, time to get drunk.

Good on the landers, some great play - one man looks like the difference, but the Chiefs lack of set piece and accuracy is the more worrying one.

Dmac to 10 next week

[Yeetyaah]

Well done Highlanders. Chiefs with a dogshit first half. Nareki really good, I'm done talking shit about him.

That's the Chiefs' season fucked then.

Gatland gives away Dmac errors so we may as well have the mercurial brilliance as well.

Sio Tomkinson talking smack while at the breakdown.

@antipodean Dmac got the Chiefs to the semis a few years back. If you seriously think Gatland is a better choice at 10 I don't know what to say.

Garland, as limited as he is, is at least somewhat predictable. We've enough evidence of DMac running around like a headless chicken to see he doesn't have the vision or temperament to play there. Given more time at fullback he can demonstrate his skills.

Fucken hell do you only lurk to respond to DMac posts?

I think the Chiefs are really missing someone like Rettalick. Someone that takes no shit, takes the lead and just gets stuck into his work.

Seems like the Chiefs are the new Blues and just can’t buy a trick.

@canes4life Yeah, there's no effective mongrel in the tight five.

Unavailable for selection:
Atu Moli (hips), Aidan Ross (knee), Laghlan McWhannell (knee), Lachlan Boshier (foot), Pita Gus Sowakula (knee), Kaleb Trask (knee), Quinn Tupaea (hamstring), Chase Tiatia (concussion)

We could do with most of these guys being available ASAP...

@tim it’s was his night ,he’s just as capable of going out next week and playing a shocker ,on saying that full credit to him and the landers ,as I said at halftime they were not getting the run of the green ..but once they got themselves going ,the home team could not stop the momentum...to me DMac sums up the chiefs ..unstructured rugby might get you some exciting tries ,but it not gonna make you a winning team

[Canes4life]

Nareki though, how good.

I did think during the game that your locks were smiling too much, and not malevolently either.

[kpkanz]

@bones XD..
I cant help but comment when I see fallacious statements being made. I also backed Jordan over Jordie for all of last year while people thought Jordie was a lock on somehow even though he has been completely average every international game he has ever played.

Gatland over Dmac is a take I can only fathom from someone who doesnt watch the games. If Dmac starts at 10 this Chiefs team will do well this season, the irrational hatred of Dmac always amazes me.

[Canes4life]

@antipodean would help if our locks were actually locks.

[Canes4life]

@kpkanz Jordie never got a chance in his ideal position though. He was brilliant at Fullback last year. Everyone knows he isn’t a winger.

[kpkanz]

@canes4life Jordie had games at fullback, and was just as average. People seem to forget this.

[KiwiMurph]

@canes4life he wasn't brilliant at fullback for the ABs in Brisbane last year....
