@canes4life said in Blues vs Hurricanes 02/2022:
Win, lose or draw no one in the media seems to care anymore which is a sad state.
is that sort of the state of affairs across the Board for Super rugby?
I know the Blues used to cop a bit of heat, but still nowhere near what they should have? It just seems like, as long as the ABs win, then no one gives a shit? And if the ABs lose, that's the coaches fault.
There doesn't seem to be anywhere near enough heat on the 4 franchises to actually do better in Super Rugby, and also develop players.
Or am i just too removed?
definitely, when i talk to other highlanders fans it quite often comes down to the length of the comp, loose 2-4 games and you might as well give up, little chance of coming back and no time to build a team up. in our really poor years when we would have loads or draft players coming in last minute it was bad, they didn't have time to really settle and then by the time they hit their straps it was too late
compared to some of the other sports i follow (football, NHL) where they might play 38 or more games a year and can have 8-10 game streak where theyre really poor but because they still have the chance to come back the crowds keep coming and the players keep giving a shit

Hopefully the eight team playoffs will improve that factor.

As NZ Covid restrictions are confusing.
Does phase 3 now help SR teams as they are heading home.
For A player who tests positive it will not now mean other members of the squad will not have to isolate as a close contact ?, unless they are staying in the same household.
Or have I got the that all wrong ?. -

Usually the out of town squaddies group together in flats so maybe a risk of 2-3 out at a time.

@machpants maybe we will get to see them up here, albeit likely in an empty Okara Park.

1 Alex Hodgman (Blues)@duluth not too much to disagree with. Jordie probably the most unlucky given how good Jordan was
oh, actually LF unlucky too, Rayasi was bloody good though.
RTS lucky no one else did enough at 12 to overshadow the good things he did.

Finlay Christie v Smith is another close call

actually that's the other unlucky one, he was so good at just clearing fast all day when that Blues attack was rolling.
The Hurricanes lock would be unlucky as well, he had some bright moments. I would probably put him in over Barrett, but can't really whinge about the selection -

Thomas Umaga-Jensen was very good too. Not brillant but solid and error free.

I was really impressed with TUJ's game , as you solid and error free which is a bloody good start for me.
