@Bovidae said in QF: Blues v Tahs:
Robinson will be the tallest starting "lock" in this game.
The locks are tall enough and there's plenty of targets in the loosies. If the Blues have a lineout meltdown (again) it'll be because of a hooker (again)

For our visual learners.
Perofeta busy boy
the second email started 'jokes' and then said Beaudy. Classic.

Patty is going to be huge loss. Not terminal vs Tahs, we should put them away comfortably but likely semi in Christchurch..yikes.
No Clarke either which is a concern.

Given how easily the Tahs were getting picked off by Moana at lineout time, I don't think your locks are going to be a problem.
not this week, but it's two years in a row it's our achilles heel having a crack at winning the comp

Also:
10 Ben Donaldson (Randwick/ Clovelly Eagles/ Waverly College)
14 Izaia Perese (Randwick/ Aspley State School/ Anglican Church Grammar)
15 Mark Nawaqanitawase (Eastwood/ St Patrick’s College)These were mistakes last week.
That now makes them planned mistakes...

Coleman was asked about it pregame vs Moana and said it was an audition.
They fail the audition and then he selects them anyway.....

@nzzp if we get past this game, then Suafoa will replace Robinson, which will strengthen the lineout. The biggest difference this year has been at hooker for that area of the game.
Robinson is a very good LO jumper.

Pretty bloody good replacement. I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes.

Good team. I think it may be the Blue's best backline. Heem or Plummer, different players with different skills.
The only concern will be the lineout of course (as mentioned)which the Tahs will try to exploit I'd imagine. If it is an open, fast game though, Blues in a romp.
