SR Final - Blues v Chiefs

Great to see Patty T back!
Beehre rated ahead of McWhannell - surprised by that
And did Funaki fuck something up for Christie to be ahead of him?@Frank said in SR Final - Blues v Chiefs:

Close call. Beehre was excellent vs the Brumbies particularly around the field. Top tackler with 20, main lineout target and there was plenty of power in the scrum
McWhannell has been injured and has not played since the game against the Highlanders a month ago

Credit to Patty Tuipulotu for laying it all on the line as captain.
It will be interesting to hear if he's still out for an extended period even if he gets through the game (I.e. they strap him up and give him a shot before the game to get him through). It might be a similar story tor Bradley Slater.

Can the Blues break this 21 year title drought?
We won a title in 2021. The Chiefs haven’t won anything since 2013.

Some player/team stats:
SR Final Match pack@Duluth said in SR Final - Blues v Chiefs:
Some player/team stats:
SR Final Match packThanks - those are very interesting. Can compare a few AB contenders to see some of what they do and don't.
Assuming you've got close to end of season ones for the other teams they might provide some pointers for the inevitable AB selection surprises.
Looking at the goal-kicking stats, DMac is looking like a solid option - but, you've got to wonder why the Canes were using Cameron and not Jordie.
