    Shit, Tony Brown just said that both Frizell and Selby-Rickit look like they've done their ACL and that their season may be over. Injuries are always awful, but ACLs, that's really bad. Hope it's not as serious as he thinks it is.

            Sucks for MSR especially, he was playing great this season and brings that missing dynamism.

                      @akan004 Yep definitely MCLs, not ACLs. So a return for the finals wouldn't be entirely out of the question (although still unlikely).

                        47 mins.

                        Is that not a high tackle on Smith?

                          That’s not hugely better, unless it’s a tear rather than rupture

                          Take the win, someone needs to talk to hunt about his kicking technique, it’s more awkward every time I see it and his stats are getting worse

                              Hunt not really up to it this year, so frustrating to watch. I was absolutely screaming at the TV when his wayward pass indirectly led to MP getting a try shortly after scoring themselves.
                              Smith looks like an aging halfback, unfortunately. I think teams realize he is only distributing now and it is easy to defend against. At least Fakatava is finding his mojo again. Maybe it is time for Smith to start finishing games rather than starting. Do the ole switcharoo with the halfbacks.

                                @toddy ,MP have not helped themselves with so many infractions , but you are dead right they have had no love from Fraser and the example you highlighted is spot on .

                                @steven-harris Not gonna lie, it was a pathetic display from Mike Fraser. One of the most one sided reffing displays you'll ever see.

                                He should be dropped after that display.

                                  Really? What was so bad? I was pretty neutral even if I pretty keen on MP doing, well, but bugger me they really have a problem with discapline when they start to tire, and no metter how I like them the ref has to pull them up, or it will get worse. Mauger is right , he had no arguments, but said it the step up for a lot of the players and getting used to the pace of the game. and that's where the silly penalties come in. The last thing we should want is refs to ignore the offences as there will be no improvement.

                                    Yep but I got a feeling they would both end up reuniting in the injury ward. Both seem pretty injury prone the poor buggers. I keep reading on the odd forum they are AB quality, and between them in last year they may have played 7-8 super games?

                                      Feel for both of them, SR is playing well and Frizzell is playing best rugby I have seen from him, best 6 in NZ this year bar none!
