Tasman vs North Harbour
-
Taufua's been poor in this half.
-
@African-Monkey I was just going to say he has been excellent, haha. He receives a lot of bad passes though.
-
@Stargazer Taufua despite a couple of errors still has great workrate ...,and that’s the requirement for the modern loose forward..!
-
@Stargazer Fair enough. I just feel he's made crucial mistakes and been caught running too high at times.

Not if it's ineffective workrate.
-
@African-Monkey I've been closely looking at the passing of some of the Ta$man players, particularly Christie. A lot of the passes go too high, making it very difficult for the receiver not to run too high. It has been one of the problems of Ta$man in this game. Set piece being another.
-
@Nepia one thing I respect about Taufua he gives 100% every time he takes the field..,not at his best body of work today..but still on the field and still going at 100%...

Totally agree Christie has always been a poor distributor and decision maker.
Not a SR HB -

Congratulations to Ta$man showing that despite they have several key players..They get the job done..
Well played Harbour in terms of defence , but Ta$man dominated field position and territory in the 2nd half..
Really enjoyable contest , and well officiated ..! -
@KiwiMurph Blackadder is having a great season. He should nail a starting spot for the Crusaders next season, with both Taufua and Read gone (and Douglas likely to get the starts at 8).
-
@Stargazer He's always run very upright though, whether the service today has been poor for him or not, rugby league style. As @Steven-Harris said, he'll always give 100%, but it's not just today that he's been caught running high.

I was speaking in general terms not specifically about Taufua.
-
@Nepia all good...I got a precious on that one..Got plenty of time for Taufua..he plays well above his physical stature ..
-
@Stargazer I'd like to see them give Uchida a start - he looks like a gun halfback. Bullet pass and a lot of sniping pace.
