    Unlucky saders, might have been a different result without Barrett brain spasms.

    Congrats blues! Can't help but think Beauds should have gone off and Perofeta stayed on...

    Bones, you and I are at one on that. Perofeta would have been much more measured.

    Yea, cos Perofeta was playing amazing rugby before he came off... there is some absolute rubbish mentioned on here.

    He was at fullback, and may have been overplaying at times. But at that point BB was kicking very poorly, and Perofeta is more calculating.

      I really like the look of Sullivan, he seems to have space and time and that boot is incredible. I hope he continues to develop in the Blues environment.

        No you're right, Barrett closed it out perfectly.

        So your solution is move the player missing easy kicks at goal and falling over chasing kicks to run the ship?

          Not being a dick here, but honestly didn't notice Blackadder at all. Big Red had his number.

          I thought he had been subbed in the second half.

                  It's weird, I hardly ever notice Papali'i even when I am looking out for him. Maybe he needs a hair cut that stands out.

                        So your solution is move the player missing easy kicks at goal and falling over chasing kicks to run the ship?

                        BB was instrumental in us winning that game.

                        He was also instrumental in the crusaders nearly winning that game.

                        Again, the solution to that is not replacing him with a player playing worse.

                        Worse? Nice try πŸ˜‚

                        No you're right. Barrett closed it out perfectly.

                        Absolutely he was playing worse.

                          It's weird, I hardly ever notice Papali'i even when I am looking out for him. Maybe he needs a hair cut that stands out.

                          That is pretty weird when anytime there's a big defensive play, he's there!

                            He was the dude scoring trys and making all the tackles.

                              Congrats blues! Can't help but think Beauds should have gone off and Perofeta stayed on...

                              Bones, you and I are at one on that. Perofeta would have been much more measured.

                              Yea, cos Perofeta was playing amazing rugby before he came off... there is some absolute rubbish mentioned on here.

                              No you're right, Barrett closed it out perfectly.

                                  I know! I see him on replays. I like the guy, but I have a hard time spotting him. He must have a generic looking head or something. Or maybe Richie's invisibility cloak.

                                      No you're right, Barrett closed it out perfectly.

                                      So your solution is move the player missing easy kicks at goal and falling over chasing kicks to run the ship?

                                      BB was instrumental in us winning that game.

                                      He was also instrumental in the crusaders nearly winning that game.

                                      Again, the solution to that is not replacing him with a player playing worse.

                                      Worse? Nice try πŸ˜‚

                                      No you're right. Barrett closed it out perfectly.

                                      Absolutely he was playing worse.

                                      Any examples? That aren't matched by Barrett doing something equally as gross?

                                        Just got back from the game......absolutely stoked to finally win down here for once! Credit to the Crusaders for the way they fought back especially when they were down to 14, showing how hard they are to beat no matter the situation, but also credit to the Blues for digging deep especially with a few desperate bits of defending from Rieko on Jordan which led to our first try, and his effort on Gardiner in the corner to win it for us, and also for big Luke Romano and his effort charging down the wing in the 70th minute to attempt to make a cover tackle after the shift he put in. Yes, they ended up with a 5 meter scrum, but its moments like that which live long in the memory. I put my hand up, I thought he shouldn't be playing so many minutes and was well over the hill, but his carries are invaluable and he really gives us a hard edge. Well played big fella.

                                        Everyone really stepped up in the forwards tonight, especially our loose trio led by Dalton Papalii. A superb shift from him and well complemented by Sotutu and Robinson as well as big Ofa who was everywhere.

                                        Hope Hodgman is OK. An awful shot put on him by Barrett. No excuse for it and needs a lengthy suspension for it. Gallagher and Gardiner did well under the circumstances.

                                        Was disappointed with our kicking game just giving it back to Jordan. I wanted to strangle Barrett after that chip which led to the Reece try but in general play he was decent, just his kicking game was poor, and Perofeta didn't have a great night either especially that missed kick on half time. Mounga and Jordan began to drive us back and all we did was hand it back to them instead of putting it in the stands, or going to the air, but we did enough to hold on!

                                        Must say i let a huge celebration on fulltime, with a few glares but they all came and congratulated me which was nice and were generally in good spirits apart from the booing when Barrett got sent off. A great night to be a blues fan, wins in chch dont come everyday thats for sure!

                                          How did Gallagher go for Canterbury? And Goodhue for the Blues?
