that's a good game to miss most of by the sound of it. Still, winning ugly is winning right????

And we keep losing key backs to injury early doors. Need to stop that!

Esp. in Aussie where everything seems to be against you.

@nzzp Yes it was, and yes, I guess so, as long as we don't play like that every week.

@Nepia Segner has been good all year. Deserves to start over Akira.
I’d be more worried if I was Dalton, Segnar is more a seven than a six. He’s setting a high standard, and being used in the lineout.
As Duluth said, we are going to need all of them, it’s a good problem to have.
Be nice if we could stop injuring locks and backs.

@Bones I also got laughed at for talking up their chances against the Canes, saying it would be 5 points either way, and it was, whilst everyone else was slagging them off from all angles, and the Canes are travelling a lot better than us currently.
We've also won once in our last 18 games against them, and despite our good record, we haven't been great.
It'll be another tough contest, the Cantabs always get up for us no matter the situation.
@African-Monkey I think if it was a dry track on Friday the Canes would have won by a fair amount. The weather was definitely an equaliser but when you think how much the Canes dominated from a stats POV it could have been a long night if it wasn’t cold and pissing down with rain.
The Blues should be heavy favourites next weekend, especially if it’s a good night because the Saders just have nothing on attack. If it rains though and becomes solely forward orientated then I think the Crusaders could definitely tip the Blues up.

I tend to think Segner's biggest strength, he is just relentless. He never stops, and spends absolutely no time on ground after tackle etc, and is looking where he can work next.
Just a thing with me , I just rate workrate so highly. (one reason I so keen on Fabian Holland at the Clan) -

Watched the highlights, such as they were.
Still conflicted as to how I feel about this.
Got within a couple of points of 2 NZ teams in the last two weeks.
OR
Couldn't find a way to two home games on the last two weeksThe trip to Fiji could be a bloodbath...

There has been a massive improvement in the Tahs this season. Your seven is a menace.

Because he's a Kiwi
I'm happy we're going to lose every game - THAT was a tough season. Hopefully we improve week to week and make finals - which should be easy when you don't finish in the bottom four that is likey to contain 2 Aussie teams :grimacing_face:
I might watch the game on fast forward and look for the fertiliser rather than just the shit.

So injury updates from that video. Rieko cleared up quickly but will have to go through the post head knock checks. Papali'i had an ankle injury, could've played on though.
@Duluth surely Reiko takes a seat for a week, he looked to be out cold and other players across the competition have been stood down for a lot less, inheriting to the current protocol. I'd be surprised if he's there on Saturday but you never know. Same with Leinert-Brown for the Chiefs.
