Moana Pasifika v Chiefs

[gt12]

That's a cracking fucking try.

Edit: TTT is finally looking much more like his old self at HB. Those were two crackers from him and Jacomb.

[gt12]

43 - 7 and honestly probably a pretty disappointing result, given who MP rolled out. They did well for quite a bit of that game until the Chiefs finally got their quick ball game going.

[frugby]

That wasn't a good watch. Moana after all these years still don't seem capable of being able to put in a performance on both sides of the ball. I really don't get the revolving door of selection... they need to build some connections. Picking Leuila at 10 was just dumb, and it hampered them.

[Bones]

Not sure about Smithy's wig.

[Bovidae]

Parker's best game for the Chiefs. He's not a 7 but can have an impact as a 6 or 8.

Edit: I think Jacomb might be good, but he looks exactly as you describe right now. This is a level he's not used to yet so it's not clear whether he'll excel in Super yet.

He looks like he's getting his time and space consistently wrong. Too deep when he should be flatter and vice versa.

I'm a fan, Have watched Jacomb for the Naki, and been impressed. I am not saying he an AB or anything, but has got the potrntial ti be pretty good is there. He took over rfom Protoz and Perofeta as the Naki's preferred No 10, Not sure how many NPC games he has actually started, but maybe half dozen, and started 2 for Chiefs , he got a bit to learn, but he definitely tracking right way.
By geez I have to say I still a Jacobson fan, I not a highlights package fan, I keen on players that just keep working doing all their bits and pieces well. Once again not saying he kicks anyone out of ABs, but can see why Ryan is also a fan. ALB is looking ok too I thought.

[Bovidae]

Back to Murphy, he penalises both teams for not hooking the ball but refused to blow a scrum penalty.

[pakman]

Jacobson for me is a great man to have in 23 at Super level, but is a dirty dirty at test level.

[MiketheSnow]

Only saw the highlights. Was it a RC?

[MiketheSnow]

Is the Chiefs kit man a Beano fan?

He does the basics well enough, he just looks like he needs to adapt to the speed of SR.

For me he looked better than I've seen from him, always felt like he was a bit average/limited.

Tempered by the level of opposition a bit.

[Mr Fish]

Tupaea is a bit like a slightly more reliable version of Jordan Petaia (though Petaia has a better kicking game).

Largely strong with ball in hand, sometimes flimsy on defence, occasionally basic skills let him down. Less frustrating decision making though.

Don't disagree at all, but takes a few games for any player to adjust to extra spped I think.
