Blues halfback is injured but not by an HIA, so Christie cannot go back on. Blues trying to pretend it was a head injury to get a player back. Poor form from then.
I hope they get fucking done, disgusting cheating

Embarrassing loss for Canes
Not really when you consider how many players are out. Canes will get a shit tone stronger as the season goes on.
Yes they should have finished that game off but probably would have if they had their ABs back.

How so? Look at that Canes team which ended the game? Enari and Hohepa at 9 & 10, I wouldn't even want that for my NPC side.

Banks going off probably fucked it for us. We should have left Godfrey at 10. Hohepa can do one. Useless fuck.

Finished the game with the 5th choice 10 on.
Cameron, Cashmore, Harkin, had to move Godfrey to 15…. Hoepa is not really super standard.
Both midfielders out
All the 15s injured.
All black prop and hooker injured.

And Enari is in the 23 ahead of Viljoen why exactly?

Hohepa shown up horribly for pace by Tele’a for that try. Blues will be stoked with the W.

Just looking at the stats, they dominated.

Canes need to win their next two games heading into the bye. After the bye we’ll get about 5 or 6 players back.

@Canes4life Even if they can win one, they will be doing okay considering the injuries. Lose both though, and it probably leaves them needing to win 6-7 out of 9 just to make the six, which will be very tough, because a lot of those guys won't be match fit.
Feel for the Canes really... that injury list is silly.

On the useless fuck side, UJ put some work in this game, comparable to normal

Barrett is far from perfect these days, but I do agree that the Blues improved when he went to 10. I just wonder if some of the Blues players lack the motivation they have in recent years? Blues fans correct me, but I feel they could benefit from injecting some players with something to prove?
-
@antipodean 5 tries to 2, the Blues individual player quality was too good. That says more about the Blues tactics IMO.

I feel if the Blues started Nock instead of Christie, they'd have won comfortably. They're trying to play more expansively than last year with a scrumhalf actively sabotaging them.

Moana is a must win, Highlanders will be tough under the rough especially the form they are in.

I agree with this. I thought it was noticeable guys like C Christie adding some energy.
There's a few big names who look to be going through the motions
