Highlanders v Chiefs

I know, I know.....I shouldn't complain when somehow one miracle has happened and Hunt is out of the starting XV....but fuck! Gregory on the wing when he's better in midfield, Nareki on the bench?
Has Hunt lost his dodgy pictures of the coaches to Paea?
@Bones as a Northland supporter, the only good games we got out of him were in 11.

@muddyriver yeah as a highlanders supporter, we've got the best out of him when he has less time to think/worry and just plays on instinct - midfield.

@Kiwiwomble TBF, unfortunately despite the fact he has all the attributes, his good games were far and few between.
My recollection of the handful he played really well, were in the mid-field (possibly off the bench or moved there in the game) for us although had a couple of good ones on the wing too, I guess I could go back and check MOTM polls if they are still there, but nah
BUt I do agree with @Bones he is better playing on instinct, giving him more time results in too much to think about errors...but what I will say, is never play him at 15, he has been awful for us, was awful for the Highlanders when he played there too.

@taniwharugby how he played 2 or 3 seasons at fb I will never know. George konia...
His games at 11 he had an excellent boot and he got very stuck in.I think he has lost pace and explosivness though, out of school he was 1st 2nd and 3rd in nz across the 3 athletic throws.

Just can't see my Landers having a snow balls chance tonight. I will be happy if they are competitive.
Happy to see ALB starting and Lord on the bench for the Chiefs.
Freddy Burns.... well can't be worse than Hunt.

Highlanders: Tucker ruled out; Dickson starting at 5.
Edit: Marino Mikaele-Tu'u will wear the 19 jersey.

So Shannon will shift to lock if one of the starting locks get injured

Still two chances blown - Chiefs just gave them so many chances.
