@tim it’s was his night ,he’s just as capable of going out next week and playing a shocker ,on saying that full credit to him and the landers ,as I said at halftime they were not getting the run of the green ..but once they got themselves going ,the home team could not stop the momentum...to me DMac sums up the chiefs ..unstructured rugby might get you some exciting tries ,but it not gonna make you a winning team

Nareki though, how good.

I think the Chiefs are really missing someone like Rettalick. Someone that takes no shit, takes the lead and just gets stuck into his work.
Seems like the Chiefs are the new Blues and just can’t buy a trick.

I did think during the game that your locks were smiling too much, and not malevolently either.

@antipodean Dmac got the Chiefs to the semis a few years back. If you seriously think Gatland is a better choice at 10 I don't know what to say.
Fucken hell do you only lurk to respond to DMac posts?
@bones XD..
I cant help but comment when I see fallacious statements being made. I also backed Jordan over Jordie for all of last year while people thought Jordie was a lock on somehow even though he has been completely average every international game he has ever played.Gatland over Dmac is a take I can only fathom from someone who doesnt watch the games. If Dmac starts at 10 this Chiefs team will do well this season, the irrational hatred of Dmac always amazes me.

@antipodean would help if our locks were actually locks.

@kpkanz Jordie never got a chance in his ideal position though. He was brilliant at Fullback last year. Everyone knows he isn’t a winger.

@canes4life Jordie had games at fullback, and was just as average. People seem to forget this.

@canes4life he wasn't brilliant at fullback for the ABs in Brisbane last year....

I'm happy for that, his mesmerising, outlandish, tackle beating run to go 40m across field tonight in the dying moments was simply superb. More please!

@gt12 def the wrong decision that one, and turned out to be important
I cant see any reason for that decision unless you are sure you can exit and keep them out. Zero evidence that we can do either.

Who is the Chief's trainer/physio? It feels like it's been 3-4 years that we've consistently had more injuries than other teams. Is it structural and we have shit systems for keeping guys on two legs? Or, is it that we are holding injured guys hoping they'll come back?

@kpkanz he needs more time at 15 for the All Blacks. You can’t judge him off limited minutes.

@gt12 comms disagreed with us though!

Fuck those guys, an insurance agent and a teacher know more than them.

I think that's why them moving him to 10 is the absolute worst way to use him. If they want him at 10, start him there and move him to 15 at the 60 minute mark (edit: or just play him at 15 for the whole game).

@canes4life Also not forgetting at the peak of the Jordie hype, I was told that Jordie is so talented he can play any position in the backline, yet playing at 14 (as near as you could get to 15) he suddenly loses all his superpowers.
Btw Jordans amazing game at 14 last year where he did more in 20 mins than Jordie did all season, Jordan was also out of position at 15.

@gt12 No depth forcing players to play through injury or return early, combined with less rotation?

That seems like it must be a factor. We've been carrying some foodbills for a while too. I love Moli but the NZRU should allow you to carry extras in that situation.
