Without BB and TJP the 'canes would be a bit shit
Yup, Canes are playing pretty similar to the Chiefs in a lot of ways, lots of mistakes, plenty of dumb shit, but we have BB scoring or creating 4-5 tries per game making us look better then we are.

@No-Quarter I'm cool if he keeps those kinda numbers up in the ABs too
-
c'mon, one more try for 17+ thanks!

penalty, penalty, penalty, cross field kick, penalty, penalty, penalty, cross field kick...

Ha even Nisbo was confused about which Barrett it was...
That's because he's a dumbass. He had only just called BBs name on the ball on the other side of the field. The guys quick but not so quick that 2 seconds later he beams 40 metres away.

Only saw first half, but it was the typical disjointed effort we've come to expect this season, incredible brilliance mixed with lazy shit. Those cross field kicks are absurd. Will be hilarious if the Lions target those, but then BB goes up the guts.
Btw when is BB going to recover from this debilitating injury? He needs to practice kicking, because there ain't no way Jordie will be there against the Lions.

One of my early criticisms of BB was that his vision wasn't very 'wide' tactically. Brilliant at spotting opportunities in front of him but not so much with tactical kicking or passing the ball to weak areas.
He seems to have really grown this part of his game even if overdoing it at the moment. The good thing is that he is quickly recognising a compressed defence or mismatch out wide and not just doing it when its not on or a higher risk.The final string to his bow I'd like to see more of now is positional kicking into space behind the line and better clearance distance when relieving pressure.
I want perfection dammit!

You certainly are a hard task master when assessing the Beauden!
I definitely agree that his pressure relieving kicks close to the line were ratshit before and are certainly still a work-on.
I think a good sign for us and a bad omen for the Lions is that he hasn't run that much with the ball this season.
