    The Chiefs game drivers were very poor in this game but they still could have knicked it at the death. The Reds defence was very good though.

    Not a game Thompson will look back on with any satisfaction.

    This result may alter McMillan's plans for the final 2 games now.

    Bryn Gatland gone for the season with a torn bicep.

    Ioane will play an important role now.

    I just have to say TTT must have the slowest clearance of any 9 in SR

    His pass is also so slow and loopy now. He was Smith-like when he made the ABs but is now at the other end of the passing spectrum.

    Watching delayed as per usual.

    Lots of pretty rugby by the Chiefies. Whilst they've played the better rugby, they've really fucked up not to be leading.

    Should be waay ahead, but they doing their best to keep the Reds in it.

    Need to play a bit ugly to capitalise on their betternecity.

    2012 the Chiefs won super rugby

    2013 @Nepia switched allegiance to the Chiefs

    2013 fucking taranaki switch to the Chiefs

    Since 2013 what have we won? Nothing
    And we play in the shithole called NP and we lose to a terrible side in Qld

    Taranaki is where football teams (and Nepia) goes to die

    Why are you telling lies? I came with Rennie, Cruden and Retallick in 2012. I'm one of the big four of the Chiefs rise to the top.

    This win strengthens my case for Brad Thorn having a role with a Kiwi franchise.

    They certainly defended with his style of play. Not convinced of his actual coaching ability.

    @Kirwan Not suggesting a head coaching role, an assistant role of something along like that. There will be a few vacancies in about three franchises.

    His time with the Reds is not impressive.

    @Stargazer been a hell of an effort from the Reds,thought this would be a one sided romp given the injury toll they have

    I think the Chiefs thought so too

    Pretty sure the reds lost that fwd way back,,,,

    That looked awfully like a forward pass.

    The Finau try one? Would have liked to have seen some replays from above for sure

    That pass by Josh looked very forward and I don’t even think Josh’s hands were in a backward motion.

    I hope you aren't describing Bradley Carnegie Thorn (the post above yours).

    @Stargazer said in Chiefs v Reds:

    Wow, what a game.

    Thought I heard him say advantage over.

    I didn't hear him say but think it went enough phases. I don't think Thompson should have taken the risk of getting held up.

    Good win to the Reds.

    Finau in attack and Nankivall when he came on aside that was a pretty dud performance across the board. @antipodean's mate DMac had his worst match of the season. Ratima is physical but he lacks the clearance and decision making of Weber.

    Ratima is good when he comes off the bench and has to fit the rhythm established by Weber. Left to set the rhythm he kills it instead. Too many other players then trying to make up for that split second with forced passes and poor decisions.
    When will players learn that going for a close quarters try against a set close defence is very low percentage now? Dumb by Thompson and I feel he was trying to make amends for earlier errors.
    As for the advantage. While I liked that as spectators we got to see ball in play rather than kick and drive, it also seemed that Williams painted himself into a corner by allowing too many side to side phases and felt he couldn’t go back to the offence. An offence than possibly took away a created opportunity. There was never any tactical or territorial advantage achieved from the play. The ball went sideways and backward and was always slow (which is the case when the offside line is the try line).
    It would have been criticised if the penalty was called after 15 phases but it should also have never gone that far IMO. Tough one for the ref. Damned if you do….

    Great ticker shown by the Reds and deserved win against a slightly off Chiefs. Shows what value BBBR, Sami T and Cane bring to the team. That’s a fair bit of leadership and hardness missing and if this is an indication of next year then there’s plenty of work to do and shoes to fill.
