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.

Don't think I've seen us drop the ball that much before.
Please drop Barrett. Worst performance from him since Hamilton 2023.
Your team lost against 13, your forwards were done, and you blaming Barrett?? By the powers I thought Blues pack were no good, the midfield were non existant in attack. The whole bloody lot were not very good!

Blues will look better with Perofeta back....bit more control and sensible kicking game

Constantly handing the ball back to Fin Hurley wasn't the smartest thing to do. Our forwards were buggered because of it. Like yeah, we fell apart collectively, but Barrett was a massive reason why.

Gez what was Reiko Ioane doing all night, was he even playing??
Chasing BBs mediocre kicks all night.
-
It wasn't just a tough performance. We scored the better tries
-
And they let you on the field after the game?
I'm on the landers bandwagon
(Sort of)
-
JJ ( pretty sure Tony Brown was in camp this week too) just seem to get the best out of their teams...... I look fwd to them having the reigns of the ABs

And no one will ever call Beauden out for it and he'll start for Blues all year and then he'll start for ABs.
It's insanity.

I agree, and that's just wrong.. they should call him Teflon Barrett

Lol jesus Dan. Barrett did what Barrett always does, gave the ball away constantly, a few of which led directly to points. Blues fans are calling the whole thing a shitshow but Barrett made numerous blatant errors that had a huge impact. And he didn't have much in the positive column to.balance it out. An all-time stinker.
If BB was the player some constantly tell us he is the Blues win by 20. But because he is the player the Fern knows he is, when he was needed he fucked up.
-
Ioane can join him in the bin, a shocker.
-
But let's not.take away from the Highlanders who kept making plays, hustled, worked, exploited errors and just worked the Blues out of it.
