One advantage of turning off TJ's commentary is that you hear all the on-field verbals and plenty of chat from the sideline.
Has Robertson got something against his reserve hookers? He pretty much ignores them.
Wish I had that opportunity. Stan take note.
Although then I'd miss gems such as Megs' "Bridge draws the last defenders, passes to Jordan who has to beat four defenders".

Lentjes down. Fucking night night with that head clash.
Didn't have much of an impact before that.

Happy with a bonus point win.
Jordan,Leicester F,Reece we’re very good
Even though a lot have bagged Ennor in the thread he did a power of work on D.
McAlister,Barrett,Christie and Grace apart from a couple of early penalties,were good.Great impact off the bench from Bower,Williams,Strange, bridge and Hickey who was very good.

Taylor back next week, McAlister has done enough to get more minutes.
2 good games from him. -

Happy to get the win especially after being down 13-0.
Plenty to work on. Looked a bit 7s at times and then too lateral. Prefer Hall starting.
What’s happened to Fergus’ kicking game? League kickers get more distance!

Robertson cant be the answer as an attack coach.
He's not a backs coach and never has been...

Brown gets too smart for his own good with the 6:2 split, especially as Renton came on so late.
Thought that too, but guess injury stuffed it all up, I thought when Banks came on, I didn't know if I would want him on that long. Renton I guessing he couldn't put on earlier because in case of injury to someone?

He's not a forwards coach either, that's what Jason Ryan does, and bloody well to I think.

Can't say I see it with Paea personally but it sounds like this will be the midfield for a while.
The Highlanders, in particular, took a massive step up from last week's disappointing loss to the Chiefs, and there was ample evidence that Brown's big midfield pairing of Fetuli Paea and Thomas Umaga-Jensen could develop into something of a weapon. “I think both ‘Tuli’ and ‘Tug’ were outstanding in the midfield,” Brown said. “They hadn't played a lot of rugby, and they hadn't played a lot together, so it's a pretty exciting midfield combination for us. “With more game time, I’m hoping they can develop into a world-class midfield.”
