SR T-T FINAL: Blues v Highlanders

I know there was an AB team named, but aren’t you Blues’ fans a bit pissed that the game got so little attention on the Breakdown?
Yeah, sure, if I thought that the breakdown meant anything. Same as if I thought that the rugby writers weren't complete retards who were horribly biased against the Blues. Stuff gave higher ratings to the Highlanders forwards than the Blues, despite the Blues complete domination of the ball. Hell, they gave both Ioanes the lowest ratings of anyone (5/10), despite them clearly being the best on the field.
NZ Rugby media is irredeemably stupid and biased - why should I expect anything from them other than rank incompetence? Most of them, especially TJ etc, were probably completely gutted that the Blues won something. Why the fuck does the biggest region not have a single commentator?
They shit on their biggest market all the time, so why care?

So, that’s a yes then?

Mils and JK have handed their Auck cards in? Or is JK just a pundit these days and Mils is a Hamiltonian?
Another yes then?
Sorry don't typically watch the breakdown....
Edit: And the one time I try to watch it live, there's no fucking sound.

@tim said in SR T-T FINAL: Blues v Highlanders:
@bones Mils is chiefs and mostly does halftime comments, and JK isn't a commentator.
Try to keep up though, it only took you 5 years to realize that TJ was biased.
Too busy being a dipshit mate, you should try it.

@tim said in SR T-T FINAL: Blues v Highlanders:
@bones You used to post for years the same shit about "I can't understand why you guys keep complaining about TJ?" Then one day flipped and realised it. Now try to work out who actually comments on the games.
And Hames could not be worse.
I will try to work it out.

Seriously, @Tim, don't hold back ... tell us what you really think?
honestly, though, I haven't watched the breakdown for ages. It has almost zero insight, and is just a bunch of talking heads wanking on about irrelevant stuff and pretending to be cool. Kind of like the Aussie Channel 9 commentators, without the bias or the playing credibility.
I miss the 1014... they weren't always right, but at least they set out some analysis and were independent.

I am biased to Hunt, as he is a graduate of Auckland University's engineering school, but he's put in some big games for the Highlanders.
Those blokes were very naughty in the late seventies/early eighties.

Yeah the Breakdown is awful. As is the pre-game and post-game. Then during the games you get TJ and Marshall. Yikes.
It's not the best wya to attract new people to the sport we love, is it

That said, the 30odd seconds of silence from TJ after we won was very sweet. Could feel his disappointment

I agree, so he should just commentate on teams he likes. He’s so bad, I’d rather have Willie Lose.
You could hear him starting to wind up the Blues are choking patter he has down pat.

I'd say a lot of people, including Blues fans, were thinking the same thing about the Blues during that game.
