    Akira Ioane should go to the Canes. Imagine being that good and playing for this rabble.

      The good news

      Akira is playing well.

      Havili can tackle

      Hepetema better than expected

      The bad news

      Everything else.

        Given what’s unfolding,if the Blues get out of this,its gonna be a miracle..especially after losing Papalii and now Hodgeman..why..?when you have not had the ball,you would put up a high in between the 2 10 metre marks is beyond with no chasers,and then concede field position is beyond me..

          The problem for the Blues is the players that aren't lazy, make dumb decisions. The more industrious they are, the more dumb decisions they make.

              Blues kicking game is so poor. They seldom recover the ball, find space, secure territory.

                Only caught the last 10-12 minutes of the 1st half and can’t help but notice how passive the Blues defensive line is. Rebels able to get through and around fairly easily.

                Both teams have issues at the ruck leaving ball carriers exposed.

                  @kev the chase is pretty poor, so will never recover.

                  Sadly, so many poor decisions made and poorly executed skills, Blues just in a very big hole with seemingly no way out.

                    @kev right on Kev,they have conceded so much ball,it’s gonna tell in the 2nd half,the halves need to take ownership of the 2nd half..Really and truthfully this is not a great Rebels team but they are just doing the little things smarter..here’s another 40 minutes I won’t get back watching these guys.

                          Moulds just made more metres in one run than Parsons has made all season.

                                WTF was Duffie and Collins doing?

                                Has no one explained to Duffie that as openside winger you need to hold back if the fullback is busy covering the blindside wing as well?

                                    That Rebel player came in the side of that maul to prevent that try, how did the ref, touchie or TMO not pick that up?

                                        @gunner how did they miss that. Penalty try if not a try.

                                          Again Rebels getting away with murder, that 6 just lay in the ground bear hugging Ioane....

                                          As bad as the Blues are, I do think they get shafted a lot of the time by the refs.
