@tim I'm pleasantly surprised Gibson didn't injure his hand punching....

Tim

@kiwimurph LOL. I think Rieko was just jealous that @Bones said Gibson was the player of the year.

Nepia

That "foodbill, hyped to the max, can't remember him doing anything on the field " better bloody not hurt our Rieko.

Bones

@tim year? His generation more like. If he's in the same generation as Papalii and no one else. Could change if Papalii proves himself on the international stage like Gibson has.

Wonder if it's something they will or have gotten over or one of them will leave the Blues...

African Monkey

@kiwimurph Hahahaha!

Well Gibson has re-signed ans Rieko hasn't so will this be the last straw for Rieko?

Virgil

How many mins into the 2nd half till Crotty is injured and ruled out of the rest of the series?

It will be worth it ...

Dice

This is what happens when backs think they can get away with being lippy outside of games.

mimic

I wonder what he could've said to Blake? Blake hasn't even been on the field..

Tim

@mimic Perhaps something like: "Why don't you try not being injured for once, you useless fluffybunny."

Tim

Or perhaps: "You can talk when you make it to more than an AB training camp. Oops, sorry Akira."

The Rieko/Blake beef stemmed from early in the evening at the game. Rieko had been knocking back a few drinks in the stands. Then was acting the goose on the field post-match when all the squad gathered. Gibson told him to pull his head in.

Meanwhile Rieko and Akira's dad had to be separated from a fan by security after Dad lost his cool with the spectator who was yelling abuse at 'lazy' Akira all game; unbeknownst to him that Akira's dad was sitting behind him.

Akira saw the scuffle and waded into the grandstand and had to be calmed down himself.

Bones

@SammyC was at the game?

If those things are true it's not a good look but not all that surprising given the way the both act on the field at times. Might be an insight into why Akira isn't being selected for the ABs too.

Will be interestingto see if they stay at the Blues and if they don't, what that means for the Blues.
