A few Crusaders with some poor tackle stats
Grace missed 8, Hannah missed 7
Contrary to what TJ and Marshall said the misses were spread out across the game. Crusaders missed 44 tackles, but they actually missed 23 in the first half
23/44 is about 50% so yes probably spread out across the game but what difference it makes not sure it is an absurdly high miss rate
77% for the game is low
Crusaders have missed more tackles than any other team in SR. Grace has missed the most tackles of any player in the competition
It's definitely a problem

Just watching the second half
Man the crusaders were lucky not to get more grief from the ref. They weren't even trying to be onside

Look at that shitty attempted tackle
You're going to have to narrow that down.

Meant to comment yesterday, loved the heritage jerseys, and first time I saw Caleb Clarke make a run I thought of his old man, not so much as looking like him, but similar build, and similar gait when he runs, also McWhannel reminded me of Andrew Blowers with the mo and headgear.

Not impressed with my Blues, we should of killed thr Crusaders with all the possession we had. Ref was handing out more cards than a black jack dealer which were justified. Don't think we executed that well

I agree. Loads of errors and the passing in the backs has been off. Seems like the players and coach acknowledge that too.
We’re picking up wins and have plenty of home games coming up. You don’t win the competition in the first five weeks (Canes fans..)

@Duluth Yup, you only have to get to the finals. We learned that the hard way in 2022. It's important when you peak as we faded from about the Brumbies game in Canberra that year and ended up scraping through to the final before getting done by the Crusaders.
Chiefs fans will probably say the same about last season for them.

Blues forwards were impressive
Blues backs are where the issue lies
Christie is a poor 9 whose spot should be under pressure - Perofeta played better than vs Tahs but still blew a number of good opportunities - they pick a midfield that isn't built to ball play but just big and run straight (whoever they pick it's the same M.O.) Forbes actually offered a bit of difference
