QF Crusaders vs Reds

Gunner

Crusaders ball handling is atrocious tonight.

Machpants

And their wide defence is easily as bad, midfield over committing again

antipodean

That's well done but too easy. Crusader's midfield defence is in quicksand.

Machpants

Crusaders should be up by more.

Having said that I am not particularly worried for them. The smart money has them running away with it in the final 20.

Probably put the mocker on them - which I am ok with. As a Highlander fan I would prefer to avoid them in the final.

Nice work, 16-15

No thanks to Goodhue at 13 in an AB jersey

Mattasaurus

Well taken try.

Goodhue left wanting...

Yup

Goodhue is too slow for centre.
Perhaps will be played at 12 by the ABs.

Captain's knock there by Barrett, then fucked by the following players

Not sure that is on Goodhue, but agree he looks sluggish.

I feel for the bloke with all the injuries. But just looks so slow out there.

Gunner

What’s with all the shit 50/50 passes from the guys in red tonight?

Machpants

Mounga no thanks for ABs ten, headless chook under pressure and can't tackle for shit

I think the point is that Rieko would have made (or at least competed for) that ground.

@gt12 Fainga'anuku made two mistakes in a row. Threw a bad pass, then came out of the line - his mistakes, and you blame Goodhue?

Great Barrett charge down pick up then a line out steal.

MrDenmore

How did Goodhue ever get compared to Conrad Smith? Bring on Ennor.

I've mentioned it on the ABs 22 thread, Barrett is our best lock, if he can still the brain explosions red cards!

Dunno about that
