<p>They weren't robbed. They shot themselves in the foot. A 2 by 4 might be good for Ioane and the stupid penalties he gave away. Do we have an IQ problem? </p> -
<p>The Blues needed to go wide once the maul was stopped. Exciting finish for a neutral but it was a game of missed opportunities for the Blues. Ioane needs to sort out his discipline, he gave away some dumb penalties.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought Briant had a poor game overall - his officiating at the breakdown was very inconsistent.</p> -

<p>Fully agree. Him and Kaino's unnceseeary late hit on Apisai which changed the game blew it for us. No one to blame but ourselves.</p> -
Good game i enjoyed that. Loving the penalty after the siren rule. Blues ultimately lose because their maul set up would be substandard for a park footy team. <br><br>
Some big performances on both sides, liked Fifita's work, both props for the Blues, both midfielders for the blues, Laumape, A Savea, and Tevita Li.<br><br>
Blues need to be more clinical if they are to improve. Hurricanes showed they are coming right, some really good defense -
<p>Fun game to watch as a neutral. Hurricanes 'deserved' it and did well with their defense at the end.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, wtf about the 'not-a-knock-on-in-real-time' call.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the other hand, despite my support of him last year, it seems pretty clear that West needs to work on his kicking, because what the fuck else does he offer?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good to see Laumape looking better this week, and Ardie looks like an AB (as does Moala).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BTW; Ranger is better on the wing, and don't take the fluffybunny off Tana!</p>
