    Bloody good game, the refs are useless.

    Yeah, unhappy to watch an AB milk a penalty with a Hollywood. Poor.

      Very droll. We don’t want rugby to end up like soccer, so should have been play on when Smith pretended to trip.

        Sheesh, settle down TJ, the Highlanders aren't going over the top at Gallipoli.

        Hater

        Yep. 🙂 Dude used to be a good Reunion host but is tiresome when commentating Blues games - it would be like me commentating Crusaders games.

        I still don't get the TJ blues thing. I don't see it at all. I feel like it maybe used to happen and now it's just true because it's repeated so often...

        Hear it, hear it man. 😉

        Yeah but hear what?

        Pitch, tone, squealing when the opposition to the Blues do something slightly good , etc etc.

        You mean exactly what he does when the blues do something slightly good?

        He's much less effusive for the Blues, fair enough if you don't notice it, lots of the rest of us do ... I notice it in Chiefs games.

          The worst bit is it was play on and wouldn't have been a penalty. It's only because the Blues scored an intercept try and the crowd booed that it even became one.

              Well then the blues shouldn't push so hard in scrums. Milking penalties like that, atrocious and unfair!

                I would like to see the Blues make a play for Peter Umaga Jensen given the Canes have Billy Proctor locked up for another 3 years..would like to see another big midfielder in the mix..

                          Well the other teams have done a fairly good job at it. Obviously blues heavily influenced by Auckland cheating ways.

                            That's interesting, I hadn't noticed that lacking - but it used to pretty much be his forte shortly after switching from 7s.

                              @Bones Yeah, he was good early last year on it. Part of maturing as a player (and getting fitter overall) is balancing the roles. He's doing more cleanouts, so is getting to rucks early.

                                  He's just so fucken scary strong and solid. Starting trio of him, Cane and Frizzel could really hurt some oppo.

                                    I would like to see the Blues make a play for Peter Umaga Jensen given the Canes have Billy Proctor locked up for another 3 years..would like to see another big midfielder in the mix..

                                    That Reiko Clarke combo is starting to really look slick now though.

                                    Injury cover would be good so we can rotate and cover when people go down.

                                    That’s still the Blues weakness. Our top 22 can beat anyone, but the squad depth isn’t as good as the Crusaders still.

                                        That long pass to the winger in the first half was beautiful

                                          Just his ability to create space and get the team moving forward is invaluable.

                                          Lucky @Kiwiwomble wasn't around to see my posts about him in his first season though.
