Chiefs 6, 8, 9, 10 AB team
I doubt whether Sititi will amke it this year. 6, and 10 with 9 perhaps in the squad I can see.
IMO the ABs hobbled themselves over recent years by not picking obvious talent. Sititi has it in spades.
Players in this category not fully utilised by the ABs include Roigard, DMac, Finau, Paps.@BerniesCorner Foster loved a good journeyman. So did Shag by the end too.

@mariner4life Mostly agree. But the gap in class at First Five was as wide as the Grand Canyon.
Yeah Cameron was the worst player on the park for me. Had an absolute shocker.
Barrett, Moorby and Perenara also had games to forget. Probably a few more but I’m too disappointed haha
Commiserations. Were you at the game?
Canes need to take inspiration from the Chiefs and come back next year with a focus to lift in the playoffs.
@KiwiMurph yeah bro was at the game. Disappointed but the Chiefs were the better team on the day. Fair play to them.
Canes will be better for the experience. Getting Roigard, Delany, Savea and Numia back when it matters next year will help.
All in all a much better year but still disappointing to finish the way we did.

Give that man a black jersey

For all that I thought a few canes were really good.
JBarrett is not what some try to make out, but he is the best hard carrying midfielder in the country. Of he and DMac can gel they should create oodles of space
I thought Love was good at FB
Lakai is a weapon of an openside
That's as good as I've seen IWL play
The front row were good.@mariner4life Love and Lakai were actually B-
-
I went back and watched the 2nd Chiefs try off the charge down
It was entirely Perenara's fault
After the ball was charged down Perenara got possession and he inexplicably threw the ball back basically straight to Sititi

Or as I like to call it; the Christie.

Canes shouldn't have started Shields.
Esp with Flanders in such good form

Exactly. He, Lakai and Iose were humming as a loose forward unit.

TBH it's been a stellar season for the Canes considering no one really expected them to be in the semis. Less crucial injuries and a five-eighth who doesn't conspire to fuck everything up and they'll be a considerable force for a while.

@mariner4life No no don't start playing that game haha.

@mariner4life No no don't start playing that game haha.
I learned from Mal Meninga. He's coaching arguably the greatest rugby league team of all time and still claiming to be the underdog every year.
Blues 25 point start I reckon.

@mariner4life Haha against some of the worst NSW sides at the time too.

@Canes4life not surprising that the Chiefs won and will win next week. Only teams with outstanding first fives win the comp. Mehrts, Larkham, Carter, Spencer, Cruden, Mounga etc. And McKenzie will be the next.

@Canes4life We won't have Jordie Barrett next year, but I think the Proctor-Riley midfield could be something special.

Yeah Riley has really lit up super rugby.

With all of the halfback talent around I'd be bloody disappointed if we end up with both Christie and TJP in the 23. Maybe one for "experience" but definitely not both.
@No-Quarter Ratima went to a new level tonight. He was extremely impressive.

Shaun Stevenson and Du’Plessis Kirifi are to be game time decisions. Wont know until close to kick off whether they are playing or not.
50/50?

Lol. Thought so

@Bones said in SF - Hurricanes vs Chiefs:
Inside word is the chiefs are 50/50 to win next week.
My bad for sharing something I got told a few hours before the game that ended up happening… two weeks in a row. I am NOT the new George
50/50 though -
