Chiefs vs Hurricanes
-
TJP made a lot of progress last year with controlling his emotions, but it will be an ongoing challenge for a guy like him.
Since the match I've read a few quotes indicating that the Hurricanes are a little resentful about the way the Chiefs went about the game. Chiefs have certainly dialed the niggle and abrasiveness up this year, even by their standards.

I didn't notice it in their other two games. That was just hard rugby.
Against the Canes though they certainly appeared to go into the game with that as a worked out tactic.
They knew the Canes were underdone and I suspect they even targeted TJP to put him off his game.
That tactic really only works though when you are also good enough to play rugby at the same time (take note Wallabies).
Maybe it's the reason Messam had a rest as well. They couldn't trust him to carry out the plan without getting carded. -
If the Chiefs are going into games with the tactic of niggly off the ball bullshit then they'll very quickly become my hatiest team.

It can't be helped, it's ingrained, we just have to send this man in to sort them out.

See this is a bit odd to me - they've always been like this under Rennie and especially so against kiwi teams and more especially against "higher-rated" teams.

Definitely used this tactic against the Crusaders in recent times (it's worked too, as it did against the canes)

So what you're saying is they should already be my most hatiest team...

Yes, and when the Blues get good they'll successfully niggle them as well.

I only really noticed that against the Saders because it really got under their skin. Canes/Chiefs games always seemed scrappy from both sides, while Landers/Chiefs games always seemed fairly tame in comparison.

The Canes are the most niggly team IMO. Mainly based around TJP and Coles.
Anyone trying to paint the Canes as victims in the niggle stakes is having a laugh. -
But whatever punishment Bird got would be mitigated away because he was dealing with a lippy halfback.
Sometimes some things can slide for the good of the game as a whole

Yeah agree, disgusting lack of respect, a written apology via Twitter or Facebook should suffice.

Get on board bro.
Last year one of my most enjoyable games was when the Lions beat them at Hamilton. Have even found myself cheering for a draw when they play against Aussie teams

I'm a Blues fan, so I'm meant to hate them. But by god they play some good footy at times - Rennie with a dose of Wayne-o thrown in makes for a hell of a footy side.
Niggly though.

There was an incident in that game where NMS called the mark and then about 10 minutes later (ok 10 seconds) Cane ran right up to him and got in his face. From that point on Cane was on my "People to Kill List". BBBR and that filthy, thuggish arseclown Bird are also on the list now too.
It's funny how guys you would go gay for when they wear black can be someone you'd like to maim when wearing the jersey of another province/Super team.
Coles and TJP aren't niggly at all. They're just miles better than anyone else playing their positions and any animosity against them is pure jealously.
