Crusaders v Highlanders (round 4)
-
Who is worse: Jordan or Collins?
-
Walking hm from game. Initial thoughts. Highlanders have no firepower or ability to beat players one-on-one without naholo smith etc. live A Smith was best player on park. Crusaders great at breakdown, strong n slowed ball down well. Had good variations on attack and hard to read. Thought again Grace made influential plays at crucial times, good prospect.
-
@98blueandgold well yeah the most influential back outside Smith has been sitting on the frikken bench. Nareki is better than Naholo was in the end though, already dangerous and hugely promising, just had no chance with the shit being served up to him tonight.
If Ioane doesn't get a chance at ten next game with Walden starting I'm going to scream.

Can Smith stop screaming like a little girl?
Nugget has a serious dose of Itoje syndrome. Needs to stop doing it.
He always does it, and he's a fuck load better half back than any one else in NZ. He can scream like a hair dresser seeing a mouse as much as he wants, as far as I'm concerned
Not sure if that was an intentional metaphor (or in fact a similie). He IS a hair dresser.

Cullen Grace having a superb game so far. Made more tackles and more metres with the ball in hand than any other Crusader.
Funny, he holds himself like a lanky teenager (until he smashes into contact), but his face looks like a grizzled forty year old. Becoming quite a fan.

Aaron Smith, fuck me
Too many crass one liners spring to mind ...
But with regard to the game (just watched the recording this morning) I got the impression he thinks he has to win it on his own. Playing well until he tries a miracle.

I've only tuned in for the last 5 minutes, but jesus the Dockers seem to be playing entertaining/high-risk/just-for-the-fun-of-it rugby. Who's the skills coach? Are they just training with random offload and balls from nowhere?
Sorry. Don't get the significance. Ploise exploin?

He reminded me of Byron Kelliher last night. The lack of patience and poor option taking after doing something great was akin to a rookie player not a seasoned vet. The 2 kick options were disgraceful
