@Nogusta said in QF Blues v Highlanders:
@Duluth the sauce reckons Papalii is out. That might even things up a wee bit ?
this late in the super season i hope its nothing too serious
-
@Nogusta so Choat to 7, who comes to bench with Segner out?
Huge blow to the Blues, just hope it aint serious and makes him miss any more if the Blues make next week
-
@taniwharugby Plumtree who played at 7 and 8 in the preseason?
-
Hopefully he's been pulled as a precautionary measure, out of all Blues players he probably deserves to be relishing this playoff run the most. Hope he's back next week.
-
@Canes4life you'd hope so, would be a waste if he got injured properly against a Highlanders coming out with nothing to lose, not saying we'll be trying to hurt anyone but hopefully we come out firing just trying to get our noses in front and tails up
-
@taniwharugby Goodhue comes onto the bench
-
no doubt 8 finalists in a 12 team comp is silly...but i still want the boys to come out and try and win the next three games, have to play whats in front of you and its up to the other teams to prove 8 is too many
-
@Kiwiwomble they absolutely have a chance and I expect this to be a tough game.
-
@Tim is that % right now, or if they won 3 on the trot?
