Missed a lot of tackles, Gave a way a few penalties,
Romano was 100% better.

[Chris]

From a Canterbury perspective strong games in the forward pack from Romano,Jager, Harmon,Stowers
Burke and McKay our best backs Bailey went ok for a first game .

[Tim]

@chris Didn't notice him in the bits and pieces I watched. Thought he had a poor game against Auckland. Hope we haven't bought a dud!

Crusaders were pretty keen to keep him,He is only young yet.
Takes awhile for locks to get to a decent top level.
Tough gig Lock,

Second half impressions:
I was wrong about Felcher Smith. He's a two-legged donkey at best. Isn't there an under 80kg competition?
Waikato should've won this easily, instead gifted 17 points to Canterbury.

[Tim]

@chris That is true. With GCT and Tuipulotu gone next season, I am rather anxious though.

Maybe an overseas signing is the answer,otherwise yep you are looking very light in the locking department.

And Waikato scored 2 bullshit tries that shouldn’t have been awarded, Thanks to that little bald fluffybunny of a Ref,

@chris Yep. Blues coaches did say that they were looking for an overseas signing though.

Interesting were. Maybe South Africa ??

[Tim]

@chris That or Argentina probably makes the most sense.

Any juice on this? @Nogusta perhaps?

I was happy with the adjudication of the last try. Which other(s) are you referring to?

The first try and the last try

Can't recall the first, but the ruling of tackle and no knock on for the last try was correct in my eyes.

We beg to differ, first try was due to a blatant tackle o n Drummond without the ball to create the gap around the ruck for the try.
Stone is a complete Fuckwit of a Ref.

Agreed - big presence on defence. One of the things you expect from locks - using their frame. They just need to have a nasty mindset. The one thing my nephew who will be 2m and ~130kg doesn't have; he doesn't want to hurt people.

Again, part of the tackle/ ruck, legally cleared out not too far and not for too long. Good refereeing IMO.

Shit refereeing in my opinion by a very very shithouse Ref
