Liam Messam is not pea hearted.
I saw him warming up and did a sex wee in my undies
The difference in the team after he came on was incredible. That’s Mana.

Needed to come on ten mins earlier

I think if, as @Kirwan noted, they'd got Messam on early, straight after DMac got sent off, then they probably would have won it, and not fallen apart for 30 minutes.
I wanted an Aussie team to win at some stage - I just wanted it to be against someone else.

He just held the ball and carried well.

It was effect on the other players that was needed. Stopped playing like headless chicken a once he came on

Great entertainment, kept me well and truly engaged despite the cards ..
Chiefs showed tremendous heart ,but I do wonder if they went to the bench far too late but also just a complete loss of composure when they down to 13 players ..really needed some smarter game management to which I was disappointed with the senior players Brad Webber especially..
Congratulations to the Reds .. -

Aussie rugby is not in a good place.
I think that game showed that Chiefs rugby is also not in a very good place. Plenty of over-achievement this year but the coaches dont seem to have learned anything.
In hindsight, they'd have gotten away with their selections easily had their smallest player on the park not taken his defence to new levels. Or even if Tiatia had tackled the player rather than swatted at the ball.
Also on the timing of the substitutions, Messam did make a big difference this week (and hats off to him, a difference that I didn't expect). The coaches may have remembered the Blues game ahead of the Aotearoa final where he didn't have the same effect on his surrounding players, but they now know that for their timings next week to bring him on earlier...

Probably but I guess the question is whether they’d have been able to get a bonus point, in which case the whole thing wouldn’t matter anyway.

Congratulations to the Reds ..Queensland just hung in there and I am pleased for Brad Thorn, notwithstanding they suffered some sort of stage fright while the Chiefs just improved and improved.
Weber as the Chiefs captain needs to go back to Successful Captain’s School – the shock:horror on his face when the referee pulled out the red card was simply childish.
The captain saw Nic Berry consult with his linesman before he explained to Weber in short little sentences what was going to happen. A sobbing attack by a captain feeling oppressed and disadvantaged was not going to have the referee splutter “Oh, sorry, sorry” and retreat. I do not remember ever seeing a referee "unblow" his whistle in such circumstances.
Why do these overpaid children do it? Why do their coaches not tell them they no longer have the top job because they are too emotionally immature?
A long time ago I realised I had never seen Sir Richie argue the toss with a referee. Unlike most players he had done the work to be accredited himself.
