I gave Ardie a vote because he has acknowledged that the actual word for “learnings” is lessons.

He should probably retain the captaincy for this alone, or at least be given all post match interviews.

Taylor, Jordie, Jordan my top 3

3 of the 4 debutants looked good. Kirifi not able to make an impact but would give him another go.

Papalii, Lam, Ioane.

Sotutu, Tuipolutu, then I voted for Riccitelli.

Eklund and AJ Lam v good.

Went Riccitelli Dalton and Lam but was very difficult - so many players in contention this week

Segner, Beehre, Dalton

Sotutu, Fin Christie and Renata.

Obviously the knives are out for Sotutu from people in the south, but I felt he carried really strongly (unless I was watching a different game)

Renata got a meat pie so he can have one, and Fin Christie looked lively enough when he came on even if the game was gone, so he can have one.

@voodoo said in Blues MOTM v Brumbies:

Am I mental for thinking that Christie was mostly really good? His pass was crisp and his decision making seemed quick. A couple of howlers eg the charge down, but mostly pretty fairly solid?

Yeah I thought he had a decent first half, but those howlers were pretty howly.

Very very howly

@Duluth said in Blues MOTM v Hurricanes:

Beehre was very good. Huge work rate on defence

He's very good. Probably my MOTM.

Gave one to Riccitelli and Tele'a just for the try alone.

Very difficult to find 3. Clarke played well.

Found it hard finding 3. Gave the 3rd to Ofa just because of it being his 150th.

Pack looking a little lightweight without Akira and Sotutu.

that poll is telling. We played Italy and two of the top 3 are the props and the other is our baby blindside.

I get your point but conversely I'd like to think that's where we should expect our best performers to be: front row and the tight-loosie.

Went Roigard, Williams and Vaa'i. Honorable mentions to Reiko, RD and Lakai.

You know you can click on the vote total and it tells you who did it?
