Rieko, Smith, Bower.

A tough one with a lot of contenders.

@broughie said in Blues MOTM SR Final:

I still think he needs to run strata lines and use his big body to get over the game line instead of doing his fend thing.

At this point I don't think it's ever going to change. It's like expecting Beauden to start becoming an excellent punter.

One of the work ons that PGS was given was to use foot work going into contact. I'm sure the coaches have metrics about the best ways to get post contact metres or keep the hands free for an offload etc etc

I hope his other work on is falling over the tryline.

@African-Monkey said in Blues MOTM v Brumbies (SF):

Nepo, AJ Lam, and Robinson (in that order).

Went for AJ and Robinson as my top 2.

And despite some rocks, there were some diamonds in there from Beaudie.

HM: R. Ioane, Laulala (best game in ages, perhaps the wet weather was a bit of a leveller in terms of it not being an open expansive game where he has struggled.

Sotutu
Perofeta
BB

Romano is the easy choice for this one. Rest was pretty mixed , but great heart.

Went for Sullivan for drop goal under pressure and Vikina for being a good hooker. Ricitelli is shit.

In true Fern fashion, voting after only the first half.

Clarke, Telea and Sotutu. Monsters. Telea made great decisions with a high workrate, Sotutu and CC just went to beast mode.

So stoked with that result.

BB, Heem and Tucker for me.

@Bones said in Blues MOTM v Rebels:

Will leave it up to you fellas to vote, but surprised not to see more love for Christie.

Had a hole to climb out of for that pass for the try. He’s in great form though.

Dalton, RTS then a close call after that. Scrum was huge, went for Hodgman

@Kirwan not too disimilar to Cully in his peak where he was able to use his pace in cover defence.

Ofa
Dalton
Rieko

Then a whole lot of others. Marshall sounding bitter in his post match, suck it up

Beaudie, Hodgman, Robinson.

Kurt, Perofeta and Clarke for me.

@taniwharugby said in Blues MOTM v Hurricanes:

Choat was into everything, top drawer performance stepping in for the captain.

Yeah his normal strong game on defence (19 tackles, 1 miss). He also showed more of a carrying and linking game. Huge depth in the Blues loosies

@kirwan Ardie is better in those wider channels where he will have one oon ones to bust through a tackle, in the middle with more traffic he is less effective, although sometimes when Ardie gets his leg drive going he might bust through but ends up ahead of his cleaners and gets isolated.

Ardie also needs to play 7, or sit on the bench for 60.

Gave a vote to Coles for the delightful hypocrisy of the fluffybunny comment.

Nothing else from the AB's rates a mention
