Hurricanes v Blues

[nzzp]

@Tim just cripple fight at the mo

[Tim]

Aumua has always been terrible at throwing to the lineout. Really overrated player.

[Stargazer]

Blues, what are you doing?

[Steven Harris]

@Tim would make a good open side flanker, really good over the ball..!

[Tanifulla]

Do these jokers even want to win?

[Chris]

I thought McDonald was quoted as saying the Blues were improving I can’t see it

[nzzp]

Christ on a bike ,that's just bone headed stupidity, even for the goddmn Blues

[Tim]

@Stargazer They really need effective leadership on the field.

He's been living off that 2017 NPC season and try past George Bridge for a while now.

And here I was thinking, ''Nonu and SBW are back together, the Canes are gonna get cooked''.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim too late, they already subbed off Pulu and Parsons...

[Tim]

@Chris The first half was fine, but they can't cut out the turnovers and loss of patterns.

@Tim

From memory, Mealamu was a bit poor very early in his career - were he to work on it, he couuuuld become a very similar player.

[ACT Crusader]

@gt12 I don’t think it was. Paps was still holding on when the player was tackled. If he doesn’t release and plays at the ball it’s a penalty. It was close but he still had time to release before he ripped the ball.

In my opinion a tackler shouldn’t have to wait to be told to release by the ref. It certainly doesn’t happen at every tackle situation.

[Chris]

@Tim the worry is it’s groundhog day over and over again

[Tim]

@Chris I really think that not trusting the squad has been a huge issue this year. There are times the opposition just looks fresher.

[gt12]

I cannot believe that the Blues are going to lose this game. Fucking hell.

[Tim]

Ruru fucking awful. Get a bloody halfback.

[Chris]

@Tim yep that is true it is hard for 23 to do it every week

[akan004]

Dumb play from Ardie. 5 points ahead, take the 3 and the game is won.
