SF: Crusaders (Good) v Blues (Evil)

[chimoaus]

Fuck Ofa having a shocker.

[Stockcar86]

This plan to have Dalton hanging out on the wing is screwing Blues at breakdowns

Carter-esque compared to Beauden B

[KiwiMurph]

Perofeta is on the bench. Fuck Beauden off.

[Crucial]

BB has gone back to the slow soft nothing passes to players in a bad position like he was earlier in the season. Just playing with no mojo or positivity

Yeah he's doing well out there, but at what cost

[antipodean]

Gardner's refereeing of the ruck is a lottery.

At least he is not kicking every ball

[Bones]

Christie (F) is shithouse. No eyes up footy again and comes back towards the defence instead of using the space they'd created on the open. Just plays connect the dots.

Paps and Akira. Neither are anywhere near the break down

Ofa and Nepo getting turned inside out tonight.

You speak like this is a new occurrence

[Gunner]

The difference in the way the Crusaders and Blues use the ball is immense.

Crusaders all running onto the ball, passes out in front.

Blues shovel it backwards at a huge amount of knots, to someone flat footed, and you’re lucky if the pass is out in front of the man maybe 1/2 the time.

Feels like the Blues might do more damage with a much narrower (initial) attack around the ruck.

[mariner4life]

That's a terrible penalty

No release, and he didn't even have hands on the ball

Not even doing that well, either.

[Tim]

Blues forwards made good go forward with pick and goes, then backs turned it into static sideways ball.

At least the crusaders look to have focused on that.

For the last month when thenpunch either side of the rick before hitting the fringes with their pace, they look amazing

They do it for like 5 minutes a game. It's immensely frustrating

[Machpants]

Blues knackered, slowing it already

[Tim]

Blues plan was to throw it wide quickly rather than kicking wide? Great.
