That's what I said. There was only ever going to be a fit and firing Kaino (and maybe SBW) that would be in the same league as Cane, Messam and BBBR

my post was not to make excuses for performance
Haha bullshit
Whatever. I deliberately didn't make comment when I posted the list as I thought it would divert any sensible discussion straight to criticising my opinion instead. But hey, if you think you know what was in my mind when posting better than I do, go ahead and fire a blank

Post after post making excuses for Umaga. You have been mocked plenty of times for your knight in shinging armour act.
Now you have a genius plan. Say "I'm not making excuses" before making excuses. It's funny.
Post after post? I simply explained my view (quite some time ago) then left it alone. Search the recent match threads and your own 'Win %' thread for my 'knighting' if you wish.
Apparently I'm not allowed a view on the problem at the Blues which is why I didn't make comment on that team post. Instead I get a view attributed to me that I didn't even make.
Show me the 'excuses made for Tana'. Previously, I have clearly stated my reasoning on why I think 'dump the coach' is not the best route and am happy for you all to have a differing view on that. I have even admitted a personal bias. Have I mocked anyone else's views on the matter in return?
I can't help it if you aren't going to engage fairly or offer constructive opinion. -

Listened John Hart on radio sport this morning,one thing that he said which I said from the time this squad was announced in November 2017 it was easily the weakest of the 5 squads based on the limited amount of movement of the other four franchises.
I've been saying this for ages, we always have one shit squad, it's often been the Chiefs in the past, the Highlanders in more recent years, and the Blues for the past few years.
However, I also said at the start of this season that I expected to see improvement (even if they don't magically make the finals) and that clearly isn't happening.

@duluth You should definitely get down to the TAB then, because the Jags are paying $3.15!
Blues are paying $1.35.
I should as well, because I'm not sure about this one either, but I tend to think the Jaguares look a better team on paper and they're on a bit of a roll. But they're on the road and at Eden Park....

My thoughts exactly. Even the points start at Blues +8.5 is pretty good value.
-
I agree the Blues are favourites.
Of course the Blues have been bookies favourites in 3 games this year where they've gone on to spectacularly shit the bed. Neither of these teams are reliable
On that 8.5 point head start. There's a lot of wind out there and there's more rain expected. So that's a higher line than it appears

Ali Williams did a good job of defending supercoach in the build up...
And was rightly mocked for it.

Pryor lucky not to be pinged for not letting him up on the chase, but PArsons gets pinged anyway
