Chiefs v Highlanders

[Stargazer]

It was only the Chiefs' first game. Too soon to write a player off.

@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.

You'll be lurking a long time for that one fella.

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.

Backwards alert!

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?

It has certainly become clear that he and Cane were carrying the team since 2017.

The charge down try before half time is a killer. Gatland is not a bad player but fuck me that was stupid considering he had an overlap 15m out from the line.

[Tim]

Sean Wainui has always been utterly shithouse at 13, so why the fuck was he starting instead of Nankivell or Tupaea?

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.

[Bones]

@nepia it's funny I thought TJ was getting all Crusaderish over the Chiefs tonight.

"OH THAT'S A STUNNING PIECE OF BRILLIANCE FROM GATLAND!!!!!"

I was in the kitchen when he scored that try and it was like TJ was standing next to me, I had to turn the volume down when I rewinded it and watched the real time try.

Also, I know you're lying when you include the words stunning, brilliance and Gatland in the same sentence and claim someone actually said that.

[Bones]

@nepia "LOOK AT MCKENZIE GO!!! STRAIGHT FORWARD AND WITH PURPOSE!"

[Stargazer]

@tim Tupaea is injured

[Tim]

@stargazer Thanks, should've seen that. Still, Nankivell would've been a much better option.

[Kiwiwomble]

Well ruck me that was nice to come home too

Shit nareki just being shit aye?

Got a bit of time in front of the tv over the next 7-8 weeks so might be re watching that
