Any more empty platitudes of positivity guys are we willing to admit we have a serious problem?
Main ones being inexperience and a genuine 10 we can build around. I think it’s pretty clear to see
Millar is the most stable 10 we have. Robertson’s passing is shocking. Don’t know why we aren’t allowing Millar the game time.
But it’s a lot more than a 10 and inexperience.
I think a 10 and inexperience is a pretty good starting point though.
Same conversation for the last three years.

Just put us out of our misery. This last 20mins is going to feel like a lifetime

Probably the key for any team to be successful. Just look at the Canes tonight. We have a better 10, we win that game every day of the week.
-
@Canes4life 100%. Until Robinson or Millar takes further steps ahead, we will remain where we are.
-
This display tonight is nothing short of embarrassing. What a mess. Somehow only down by 9 points, should be a lot more
-
We haven't had the ball for 20 minutes.

We have a 10 that Otago/Highlanders have been investing in for the last 2-3 years. Millar had a great NPC season to the point some were saying he was unlucky to miss the ABs XV team (whether he should have made it is another question) but he was playing well. He was kicking and passing well, and his attacking game was improving. Instead we parachute in an average 10 that has limited upside and doesn’t do the basics particularly well.

The Landers aren’t far off but like you say, a good 10 running the ship makes a massive difference.

Millar is worth a go but he's fairly limited himself. I don't think the Landers would be in a much different spot with him at 10.
He can pass, kick and makes limited unforced errors. It’s an improvement
-
Lol Manson at first reciever throwing a pass to the ground on first phase after set piece 😂😂 give me strength
-
Been our worst display of rhe year
-
The returns of Haig, Millar, Fakatava, JRK and Renton can’t come soon enough. We are struuuuggling
-
Another nice piece of play from Manson. Huge pass to no one, lovely. He is way off it
-
What the fuck was that phase play? That was genuinely awful. Complete lack of leadership and direction.
-
-
Fk sake Lennox. You went completely the wrong way there.
-
@Bones Lennox is out there tonight, you may be referring to him. May as well be Sean Romans out there at this point, wouldn’t look any different
-
Taine Robinson needs benched next week. Even if Millar is at 80%, it’s better than what we’ve seen for the last 2 weeks.
I’d be pretty happy to not see Manson again this season. It’s clear he has a lot of learning to do. This isn’t NPC.
