Blues v Bulls
-
Wow, I dunno what you fullas have been watching, but the Blues have been tearing the Bulls a new one since I started watching 10-15 minutes ago.

I don't understand the team selection. Moala can't distribute, so he should be on the left wing. Nanai can move back to fullback and Collins could move to 2nd 5/8. Then Rieko might get the ball.
@antipodean Yep. Moala should be playing 13 or wing.

@KiwiMurph will check my schedule and see what I can do...

I was hoping Parson's interview was going to start "well the team started playing well when I went off"

That did not look like a try.
Come on! The game was well and truly over and Paige hasn't scored a try in well over a decade (I'm serious) :rofl:

Decent last quarter by the Blues. Kaino my man of the match.
Duffy was good, i can now see why he is being picked. Would like to see Nanai to 15, Moala to 11 when SBW comes back.
Think Francis starting with West finishing is the way to go for now.Getting sick of Pulus delayed passing. Either fucking around at the base or picking it up and looking around. Just lets the defence set.
That tmo call for the last Bulls try is a perfect demonstration of why i don't like the whole "onfield call" thing. Having the ref guess andhaving the tmo bound by that guess just accentuates a wrong call. Similar to the whole umpires call thing in cricket.

Love it how Parsons is still wearing his headgear for the interview even though he got replaced half an hour ago.

Worried about hat hair on TV ?

Going against my bitching earlier that was a much better 2nd half - wore them down and broke them open - the bench impact was noticeable.
Of the starters Gibson, Kaino and Tuipulotu worked their tails off. Gibson in particular had his best game of the season. The backs from centre on out were good too.
I agree the backs balance doesnt look right - id like to see Faiane get even more time at 12 next week v Force - even in his little cameo he showed good signs.

The Bulls are the laziest side I've ever watched live. They walked everywhere.
Score line massively flattered the Bulls, Blues completely dominated them, it was just our own inaccuracy they kept the score as close as it was.

My 11yo daughter said to me during the game when the score was 14-7, "the Bulls are stuffed Dad. Look they're not even getting in there".
They look poorly coached unless they had a case of some of the worst jetlag
