    Interested to here the perspective of Blues fans on this. Could Funaki become the Blues top halfback? He seems to have a bit more to his game than Christie in my view.

    He's getting an armchair ride because of the disparity between the two forward packs, but should be starting before Nock.

      Ah, Akira

      Been a bit of a dick at times tonight. Thought he'd grown out of it

      Bring a mouthy twat can be great, but you don't do it where the camera is watching or at the ref. Coles, bbbr, etc showed the way, mouthy when only the opposition get it

      Like when Coles was penalised in front of the ref for calling that player a fluffybunny?

      When? He certainly said to the ref 'he's a mouthy fluffybunny, isn't he' and got away with it haha

      Nope, another time. Awesome there is confusion because of the number of times he did it.

        Yes. He's more physical. His passing is more accurate. He should start

            If Akira plays as well as this he can be as mouthy as he wants

            Being niggly and irritating is normally considered a positive.

            Note for Akira: Williams is like a mental chick - best not to say or do anything as it could set her off.

                      On now. Evans has been good.

                        In answer to my previous question; Evans is a left footer, he just ruined the previous exit by trying to run from his own 5m

                            @antipodean TBF I think he was positioned too shallow to do so, tight on the posts so there was a risk of a charge down, maybe didnt expect to be the one clearing?

                                  @taniwharugby true, he did look poorly positioned for it. But I'd expect he'd be the designated kicker on that side of the park.

                                  The rest of his game has been an improvement on last week. Caveat of the Force...

                                        Just too easy, Paps, then Akira just blowing through in contact, leaving their line totally fractured

                                          Dalton and Akira prominent in the carrying again. They’ve beaten 8 defenders each tonight
