Canterbury v Northland
-
Yeah incredible indeed Justin
-
Northland scrum puts pressure on the official makes the visitors play even though the scrum is moving forward , then turn that completely around he gives a penalty ..i give up
-
Great escape
-
Last pass looked dicey...but we just doing nothing right
-
That sums Pisi up to a tee

It does TR, but he's had a really good game to be fair.
-
And that sums up our 2nd half
-
Disappointing is about all I can say about that...didn't expect to win, didn't take our chances in the first half, and then an error ridden 2nd 40 sees that score....
-
Not terrible but the squeeze got us. Set piece is so important and scrum while better, not good enough resulting in penalties and position against the wind.
We get a couple of guys back in front row and we will be so much better.
Reihana looking classy at 1st. Rush standing up. Big Red to come back as well.

@kev I reckon a few of those scrums he coulda gone the other way too, but went against us (after last week, maybe he assumed we'd struggle, whihc we did in patches) went much better than I expect it to TBH, that 10 mins with no Matich after that dubious PT set us up really, then the subbing of LMH couldnt have been at a worse time.
hate how mauls they only ref the defending team (the game in general, not just this game) right now, the attacking team does no wrong (unless the knock it on)
Have to assume Rush is injured, otherwise why take him off then?

Sky commentators summed it up well Canterbury too much firepower off the bench when it mattered
The Taniwha have improved no question but you still cant afford to have several of your top lineup unavailable against teams of this quality
and you have got to nail every little opporrtunity you get whilst making good decisions yourself .I did’nt expect we would beat Canterbury with an under powered team but disappointed that we let the score blow out , on the plus side well done to Liam Hallam Eames who i thought was superb throughout in terms of accuracy and he must of impressed Scott Robertson after filling in for the Crusaders earlier this year
Also thought Rob Rush was full noise , love his physicallity he brings and i can see why the Blues have eyes on him..
Rivez Reihana was all class and looks to have time ,Kauika Peterson busy as always maybe an outside chance as a third hooker at the Blues.
Got to also give Allen Craig his dues ,getting better with each gamePisi Leilua for all his brilliance is such a rocks and diamonds player, when hes good hes sensatiional but today we saw both sides
Just no game sence when hes in space to either look for support or even look around for support ..Finally on the official , i have no issues with the penalties given against the Taniwha , but where the hell was the consistency especially regarding the deliberate knock down .?
