I know it's only round 2 but I would suggest ABs need to move on from Mark Telea at wing. ABs need more dynamism out wide.

Caleb Tangitau says I have some things to work on, but shit I can be dynamic

Regardless of who you support (except Blues) that was great value for the comp. The game was won by a team just causing absolute chaos, and not allowing the loss of numbers be used as an excuse. Bloody Holland looked twice the player that Pat T did tonight, not suggesting he is, but tonight he gave a lesson why I think he will be 100 test AB. Same thing happened through whole backline, if you picked a team out of tonights 2 teams, I not sure one Blues back would make it.

I thought Dunshea was Hugh as well for the Highlanders.

He says: "I know it's me, I'm asking do I live here. "

Balance of that Blues pack looks a little off.
And they missed Choat's impact in the last quarter

Stats in his first game back would be an interesting comparison against an uninjured Blackadder....

@chchfanatic Just me or did he look a tad heavy?

Just deserved better crowd

@Steven-Harris I’d always assumed from TV that the Landers had good crowds but the reverse angle at the start, showing the empty main-camera side was shocking. Someone explain what’s going on down there, please.

15k is a decent crowd for February coming off a first round loss and some down years.

Congrats Landers. By far the better team.
I don't see the Blues turning this around - they are cooked
Yeah......it's all of a sudden looking like a pretty weak bunch of NZ teams all of a sudden excluding the Chiefs.
The 2nd best NZ team is up for grabs, could well be the Landers from what we've seen.
Agreed. Blues look 5th best NZ team.
In fairness, the Crusaders and Canes don't look much chop either.

Goes missing when the forward pack is not on the front foot is the image of his distractors. Needs to prove them wrong but can't tell in his first outing of the season to be fair..
