Chiefs v Highlanders

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

Only 1 for the AB's though? Hes a key man at FB for the Canes
Shame about Gatland but he just lost focus in this game. Maybe he can do better if given a 2nd go but hes a limited player and his limitation were exposed in this game
-
@bones so your argument against him is the run he had that set up a try if it wasnt for the leading elbow by the chiefs player? NICE!
-
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.

I think every side in the world is missing someone like Brodie Retallick.

Eh? Where am I arguing against him? Mrs Mac, take a breath....

@bones read as very sarcastic XD...in either case, Gatland has no future at 10 for this Chiefs team. There is literally no ceiling for this team with a player that limited at 10.
-
@kpkanz just made me laugh that when you popped up defending Damian, the only time I could recall you posting was months ago....defending Damian
Him at 10 and Trask at 15 could settle in nicely, going off what I saw in NPC.
-
@bones hahahah to be fair rugby season just started up again but yes..I think he has great talent if used correctly. You may see me start arguing for Jordan more if I feel he's being unjustly critiqued. Waste of time but the discussion is fun.

It was only the Chiefs' first game. Too soon to write a player off.
Don’t worry about writing players off, just write the whole team off.
Making up the numbers, appeasing the bean counters, North Island politics, no good players want to move to Hamilton, meanwhile Gatland’s appointment is all sweet cuz...

Well I never learn, tipping I went for Chiefs in upset, f*** me I never learn :angry_face: . Still I enjoyed game, know there a lot of penalties but not bad early season game. Chiefs need a bit of depth I think, agree Gatland was disappointing.
-
I’m still trying to understand why, with only that much time left, they decided to kick for goal, knowing that it would still be a two score game.
Something’s a bit rotten at the Chiefs; we’ve been on the slide to the worst NZ side since Rennie left (is there one big signing since he left?) and I’m starting wonder if last year was rock bottom.
Honestly, would that team come close to another NZ team?

Nareki with 178 carry metres.
When Nareki scored his first try, just, after nearly being run down by Lowe, I was thinking why the fuck is TJ knocking one out over him? Well, I got that thought 100% wrong.
