Fifita in beast mode

Gunner

WTF, did I see people watching the game from a bed on the sideline? 
Get the right people in there and the crowd would really get their money's worth

Plus Luatua. 
Fuck, we're lucky.

You guys getting this dodgy feed? Flashbacks to Max Hedrum.

This Gibson Park fulla looks like Piri's younger brother (the one Piri used to steal food off)

The queue for those positions is long though ...

Gunner

Gee Nanai is very Folau like in the way he runs the ball.

Ball game. Second time this season we've snaffled it against Tana's mob

Stargazer

Stupid decision from the Blues to go for the quick tap instead of kicking for the 3 points. The Blues could have had a bonus point.

Cant complain about the lack of action in that one

antipodean

Excellent defence in that second half by the Canes.

Can't say I'm too bothered by that decision as we're miles off the pace. The one that did turn things was the shot at goal we took at 30-27. A really stupid decision which cost us the game (and that Coles try that wasn't).

Dice

Our lack of depth really hurts us in the 2nd half of games.
 
Like the first game between us, the stats probably favor us, but the scoreboard doesn't.

Siam

Blues fellas, what is the name of the young tighthead prop a few seasons ago with the dreads (big ones dyed yellow I think)? he wasn't much good really but always had the "potential" label
 
It's not the same guy who made the AB's this year is it?
 
I have a mental block and can't be arsed looking it all up lest I get my vowels wrong - cheers

Yes it is the same guy. He started playing a lot better once he got rid of them.

Toddy

Fark that was some crap defence from the canes. They had to make a lot of tackles, but still. Vito and Shields missed 4 each and that is way to many for a 6 & 8. Shields has gone backwards this season and Vito seems to have one foot on the plane.
 
TJ Perenara is a pretty talented individual. Pity he's so rubbish as a halfback.
 
Also, would Julian be dropped from the starting 15 if NMS wasn't injured? The guy needs to go back to club rugby and try and get some confidence back.

How did the best 7 in NZ go?
