    TJ is starting to really annoy with his commentary. Too much like a fan ( for Ta$man players ). I know that creating excitement is their job but sometimes it rubs.

    The ex players commentating do a mixed job as well - hard to criticise another player. Someone like Kane Hames always impressed.

    Campbell was much better than Hall too. Thought Whitelock and Bridge both went well.

    For some reason, Hall looked really laboured out there.

    Bridge started really well. I noticed him less as the game went on. Will Jordan was the opposite - which makes me wonder if they play the same role a bit much and Big Leicester is a better fit if Jordan is at fullback?

    Maybe the converse when Havili is at fullback.

    Crusaders should have had a penalty before extra time at one ruck in particular, and suspect Mounga would have nailed the kick.

    Some of the "flat" passes tho... yeesh...

    IWL

    is IWL potential AB lock material? I don't see his name mentioned much here in that capacity but he seems to have some potential...

    @kev I agree an absolute fan boy for any Ta$man player it’s quite sickly.

    I was really impressed with the Canes jersey in the 52 mins I watched before I had to go out, well except Laumape he’s playing like he’s already on the plane and generally doesn’t care so he might aswell jump on the plane now would rather they play Toloa or someone at 12. Maybe Aso

    Hope that Moody will be back in time for the RC later on in the year. We aren't exactly blessed with quality loosehead props.

    I don't want to see Jordie starting for the ABs.

    You’ll be out of luck.

    Really enjoyed this game.

    Haven't read the thread.

    Would have settled for the draw.

    Need to check with Stan if they were prepared for extra time as the feed cut off pretty much straight after the winning dg.

    Any thoughts on potential foul play by Dunshea with forearm to throat a few phases prior? Canes missed a captain's challenge?

    Canes are massive underdogs. If the Crusaders lose this their season will be in disarray.

    Was wondering at abut 50 mins how Razor and the team would be viewed if they lost.

    @booboo the Stan feed didn't cut out - they just cut to a stadium camera in place of the ads. Once the 'ad' break was over they carried on the coverage.

    Leicester at centre was a real handful for the Canes defence. He always seems to beat the first tackle (or at the very least stand them up).

    Agree. I normally like Hall at 9, but he was off his game I thought. His passing was especially laboured.

    This was a big plus for me. Went way better than I expected. Didn't notice any glaring errors on defence either.

    Douglas was poor right from his very first touch where he took the ball standing still. I had hoped he had moved on from that this season.

    Someone mentioned the Saders are missing a proper 7. The loosies have been missing something the last few games and I am starting to think that may be the problem (and Douglas of course).

    @crazy-horse Douglas is a good NPC player and that’s it in my opinion.

    We are missing Todd’s breakdown work and more importantly his link play. None of our current crop seem to support in attack.

    @act-crusader Sione Havili is a good tackler but is more of a 6.5 type of player.

    I agree. He’s active in defence but we need a bit more attack from our loosies.
