@gt12 I must have missed why they would

Massive head clash with Robinson

[Machpants]

Black is pretty average

[Machpants]

Jeez the injuries are fucking ridiculous in the comp

[antipodean]

Not sure about some of these ruck penalties. I'd like to see more of a genuine "not releasing" as opposed to a defending player touched the ball.

A symptom of trying to speed up the game and split second calls I guess. The flip side would probably be the lethargic nature of NH interpretation.

@antipodean went through a patch a few years back where players would often win a penalty just by being in a strong position over the ball, not even really trying to win it

[Machpants]

Nice try Highlanders

[antipodean]

Good response by the Highlanders

[Bones]

Leally good try.

Smith makes up for his mistake.

[taniwharugby]

@bones you are stood down, whatever that means 🤣

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby 2 superb long passes from Gregory..followed up with 3 accurate clean outs

[Machpants]

Black is so very average, that was an awful kick. And he's now Captain lol

[gt12]

Feel like Sotutu needed to try to get that as a held up. Brilliant effort to stop him, but if he could have held him up it would be a drop-out

He's showing more of his 7s talent closer to the play rather than the wing.

[Steven Harris]

@antipodean absolutely..

[taniwharugby]

Must be some cut to keep him out.

[gt12]

Poor Tom Robinson. Frizell was no where near making a legal tackle there.

[Tim]

Hunt much better this week.

[Tim]

Blues need to change ruck tactics.

[Bones]

Dickson you egg. Greedy

[antipodean]

Locks should know their hands are too far from their brains to attempt a quick pick and go.
