Honestly I’m happy Blues lost! Management aren’t worried about winning! They want to give lollipops to lads for trying hard.
Good to see Apisai play well

It is he’s had to gain a lot of confidence back from some very poor games.

Yeah I'd like to see Nock and Plummer paired together next week. Might as well see what they have in those two. Black deserves to get dropped for that rubbish.
@KiwiMurph Yeah, Black plays at one very slow pace which really does affect our attack. I thought his goalkicking was important so I could see why he got the nod but even that went to pieces tonight.
Man it sucks losing so much haha. Will we ever make the playoffs again?

@Steven-Harris There was a long period where all we did was defend. He was involved in all that.

@Rocky-Rockbottom bring it on. I will change my avatar to the Blues logo if we lose and you change yours to the Canes logo if you lose?

It would be way more fun for the rest of us, if you didn't just change your avatar but also changed your username to "Blues4life" (Canes4life) or "BluesRockbottom" (@Rocky-Rockbottom).

Agreed.
I was pleased by Nock's service for the most part. Pairing his service and Plummer's flat attack and passing game looks like the Blues best bet for now.

@KiwiMurph thing I liked most from Nock, other than the fast passing, was the box kicks were huge. That’s been a problem area.
Ruru coming on at the end would be a huge improvement on Pulu, who at this point is a complete waste of time. Me might as well get the next rookie in for him, they can’t be worse.

@nzzp Fair enough but I don't see it myself. This team just reminds me of the first 2 years under Tana where we're competitive but lack in the technical aspects up front. Jackson copped plenty of criticism for our failure at set piece time yet Coventry hasn't seemed to make any improvement in that area.

Even though the scrum got done tonight, most of the time it's been solid - and the lineout has been OK as well.
The thing I don't understand, is why you guys haven't constructed some sort of lineout drive? Even though some of the drive defence was OK at times tonight, you still conceded three tries against it. And I think I'm right in saying it is one and two thirds seasons that you haven't managed a pure maul drive over the line?
Huge men in the Blues pack as well!
