Back to this game - hopefully Nock is back so we get to see Nock v Weber.
Watching Canes Blues just now - was out Saturday night. Half an hour in, and Christie is making terrible decisions, stinking up the joint. Nock was noticeably better.
It's interesting how as a halfback it's easier to come on and look good - going back to Byron Kelleher when he came off the bench over Marshall, but wasn't as good. Seeing that this season at times.
Anyone know when Nock might be back? Is he injured?

@nzzp he played for Kerikeri on Saturday apparently, word is he had been stood down.
Think it was @Nogusta said he had been 'sucker punched' by someone.
Was due to play for Kerikeri on Saturday but all rugby was cancelled up here due to the flooding.

Perspective is important. I actually wonder if that Crusaders game was effectively a final, and the players were flat last week because of that result.
Also, the Blues played really really well against the Crusaders. We dominated them for most of the game, and that is bloody impressive. The loss doesn't change the way we played for so much of that game.
Yeah, the score blew out at the end which didn't really reflect how close the actual match was.
It did though...

Fuck it. Chiefs to turn up and win by 100 now that they 100% can't win the comp.
before your time young fulla, but that used to be our speciality. Wait until we couldn't make finals, and then come home with a wet sail, playing open exciting rugby.

@KiwiMurph It will be interesting to see what they're going to do, if Carter is fit.
10 BB, 22 Carter
15 Duffie
Plummer?It sounds like last week they were going to run both Faiane and DC on the bench til DC got ruled out. I don't really see the point in running Plummer and DC though.
If he didn't get injured, I have a feeling DC was going to play fullback off the bench last week.

@Dice Not 12, replacing Plummer?
he'd get munched at 12 I fear, not the channel for DC I fear. Mind you, anywhere Laumape runs at you isn't a great place for normal people (or DC)

this is Daniel fucking Carter we are talking about. Not some scrub. Even old man Dan will take whatever can be thrown at him with ease.
Respect fool!

Does beg the question what do they do this week on the bench.
Sounds like Otere is doubtful - so Duffie to 15? This is where Tanielu Tele'a would be perfect on the bench - covers 12/13/wing

If Duffie starts at fullback, then maybe DC(if healthy) and Narawa on the bench? I hope it's not Plummer and DC on the bench together, but I can see it happening.
We've missed Tanielu. I don't think anyone who has worn the 23 jersey has added much off the bench for us this year, but he's just built for that impact role off the bench.
