Force v Blues
-
The Blues should have run away with this but that defence was epic. Good defence practice for the later games in the comp.
How does Riccitelli have a super contract?
@Nepia Yeah we're certainly getting challenged and having to show our resolve in a lot of these games.
Would like to see us to start playing our best side with 4 games left before the finals. Need to start building combos that'll take us forward, no need to be playing Segner at 8, changing the midfield every week etc.
Take the win and move on.
-
@KiwiMurph And deservedly so.

Nothing better than seeing kiwis win a match a still bang on about the ref.
You think he was good?
The result doesn’t matter if the ref ruins a game. Especially when we are struggling to get crowds in.

Given how many covid cases the Force have/had recently they really showed out - impressive
@KiwiMurph They're always a tough side to put away. They were the same last year as well and always fight hard despite their limited player pool, and yes, even more impressive with covid through their squad the week before.

Possibly to do with the protocols around ABs and playing minutes?

Because Beauden needs a golfing buddy in Auckland.

@Crucial True, but even so, I'd rather see us go with Akira at 8 and Plumtree at 6. Segner is a 7 and only a 7.

@Canes4life Seems that way on social media.

Akira was only ever going to play half an hour at most. This was juggling resources.
Just odd to be making demands of selections when you aren't party to player management needs. -

Plumtree looked good at 8 in the preseason. Shame we haven’t seen that when Sotutu doesn’t play.
I suspect he’s missing out because he’s off contract next year and is likely leaving

@Crucial Akira played most of the game though.....
Did you watch the game?

Watched about the first twenty and it looks like it was a good option to go to bed.
I was going by this report which sounds as if it was wrong (or badly written)
"Ioane put in a solid shift at No 6, before departing in the 26th minute with a try and 22 metres on 7 carries to his name; "

Segner's future isn't at 7.
He's still just a kid - but, needs to add a few kgs and he'll be Kieran Read dimensions.

@Chris-B Really? If I'm wrong then so be it, ill put my hand up, but I don't see how he could be anything other than a 7 from what I've seen.
Good player but too short to ever be a long term 6 or 8.
Also needs to improve his ball carrying.

Yep I like the kid at 7 too AM, by geez I keep saying how much I like the kid, he never stops, tackles and back on feet looking to see next job etc , a lot to like, and I reckon very handy 7, although he not bad at 8.
