Was hoping for a better performance from Tupea

I never quite understood the level of hype surrounding him compared to other guys, last season the Chiefs looked midfield looked better with Poihipi or/and Rona paired with ALB.

I don't understand why Poihipi isn't getting time on the park.

Lol Bell doesn't play for Ta$man Wilson.
-
@Kirwan Well it's looking that way....
Crusaders look a different team out there tonight in fairness. Fair to say they're back?
-
Hannah really reminds me of a young Whitelock. And not just because he's a 21yo white guy playing at lock.

Big engine and just does the little stuff right. He was very good tonight.
-
Lazy Chiefs performance. Not sure why the Chiefs were labelled as favourites coming into the season.
-
@Yeetyaah they've been limp in a big chunk of matches this year, definitely not the same side as last year.
-
@Canes4life yeah I agree.
@Yeetyaah then again the comp isn't won in the first couple months so they've got plenty of time to sort out their game. Just don't turn it on in a couple weeks.
-
I've been crucified a bit for defending the Crusaders this year, but they've proven that they're still tough at home and have a much easier draw in the 2nd half of the season with a bit more cattle to come back.
Not saying they're gonna go on and win the thing, but they're still a threat to everyone.
Probably the best I've ever seen Johnny McNicholl play at this level.

It's interesting because he would easily start for this Crusaders side yet McMillan decided he's surplus to requirements, you've also got Ollie Norris, Gideon Wrampling, Wallace Sititi - all currently playing for the development side.

Good win
Blackadder,Barrett,,McAlister,Williams,Drummond,Havilli,Burke all back after the bye
Taylor back a couple of weeks latter we just might make the playoffs.@Chris lol youâll easily make the playoffs. Wouldnât be surprised if you make it to 6th or 7th
-
Penney nailing his balls to the wall to go 5 zip and teach the tags a lesson. Coaching genius.
Reckon the saders have a decent chance of defeating the bye now.
-
Well the Saders were better than I thought, but the result was exactly as I expected. The Chiefs gave up when they rested Dmac and Finau.
@gt12 Was thinking maybe McMillan expects to play them at playoff time and doesn't want to give too much away against them?
Or am I reaching haha.
-
For me, resting Finau was more detrimental to this game. Dmac sparks the attack for sure but Jacomb looked good, his midfield did fuck all outside him to help out. Finau is a big fluffybunny who throws himself around on attack and D and we missed the physicality as the Saders brought it tonight. I'm hĹha but fuck they didn't deserve it so it is what it is.
