Chiefs v Blues (27 March 2021)
-
A better Blues lineup.
Ruru seems to be held to a different standard to Nock which is annoying.

the problem with Christie is that both he and Black aren't big defenders. Playing those two means you need a solid 12 and a big loose unit.
Hope they step up. Blues by a THOWSAND

Why is it that Leon MacDonald doesn't seem to rate Nock?

Unavailable for selection:
Atu Moli (hips), Bailyn Sullivan (concussion), Etene Nanai-Seturo (hamstring), Josh Lord (shoulder), Jonah Lowe (sickness), Laghlan McWhannell (knee), Lachlan Boshier (foot), Mitchell Karpik (neck), Tupou Vaa’i (concussion), Sione Mafileo (back).ENS and Vaa'i inured this week.

@kiwimurph Especially after Ruru giving away two really dumb, and ineffectual, penalties last game.

Dalton and Ofa are pretty tall, not sure Ofa will ever quite fix his tackling technique or judgement (it's been a few years now) and I wonder how Dalton can scramble and lower his body given his height and speed-is he a natural 7 or a 6/8 that covers? (Actually, is he a potential 8? too many in that position at the Blues?)

Dalton has the running lines and anticipation of a 7. Jackling is getting to be a rare part of the game now and he can be effective in that regard in the situations that it can happen.
Stopping attacks before the gain line is way more important under the current game management. Once a team gets a roll on they are difficult to legally stop and you need to harass them into an error. -

@chris don't forget the Highlanders
If they do the job against the Canes then yep for sure they are a chance too.

Surely Sowakula covers lock? He's done it before and he's taller than Parker.
How you feeling here @Yeetyaah being a staunch Chiefs fan you in with a chance ? I reckon you are a rough chance in this game at home.

@kiwimurph I wouldn’t count out the Canes either if they manage to pip the Landers tomorrow night.

@canes4life My worry with the Canes is they might have dug themselves too much of a hole with 3 games dropped already and still have to play Blues away and Crusaders again after this weekend. All without a first five.
@kiwimurph yeah your probably right. Last week was a must win and they might have too much to bite off from here. I guess the important thing is they build combinations and get some confidence going into the Aus comp and into next year.

@chris haha I already said above that I'm not confident looking at that team.
I could see an upset.
