That just shows how mauls suck. Bal carrier basically unbinding to let players in from of him, then stretching out sideways where no defence can legally join to defend
And it clearly stopped after going forward. So in any decent game, that wouldn't be permitted to start again.

Godfrey speaks well, future star of our game. Reminds me so much of a young Beauden.
-
What with Godfrey & Sinkonson resembling Beauds & Barracuda, as well as Shields and Perenara out there tearing it up, that felt like a bit of a rewind.
Speaking of Shields, great to see him passing on his learnings to youngsters - Sangster is a bit of a toaster hands eh?
Top games from Perenara and Kirifi.
Great to see Jordie back in good form too.
Where was this Punivai for the landers? By the way @Canes4life his grandad lives in EB and used to be pres of the rugby club.
Rayasi disappointing eh, how does someone so big, break so little tackles? That trying to be the tough guy with late hits and shoulder charges after he'd turned it over for the umpteenth time was uuuuugly.
Lastly - why would parents name their sons to sound like a brand of soap? Carter & Mason. FFS

@Bones haha you nailed it with Sinkinson, he really does look like a Buckman, hard working and he even has the same haircut.
I knew Punivai was born in the Hutt but didn't realise his Grandad used to be the Pres of Eastbourne RFC, that's bloody cool. He carried strong tonight, hopefully he gets a few more opportunities.
What's with Rayasi aye? He just never learns, always runs far too high into contact and never protects the ball. Definitely don't think he should be in the Canes top 23, I couldn't trust the guy to help close out a knock out game, far too unpredictable.
Hopefully Godfrey gets more mins, he looks class but just needs more mins off the bench. Maybe he takes Rayasi's spot?

@Canes4life just got back to motel, and thought I would post a couple of thoughts. Geez the Canes looked good. You would of thought this line up had played together all year. I will say it is best game I have seen from. Morgan, was one of best on the field. There were plenty of Canes looked the part. The Rebels biggest game plan seemed to be slow the game down as much as possible. Very happy, well worth the trip.

I didn't either until I caught up with him down the club - he's there 3 times a week mate, head in for a beer and see if you can pick him.

Random thoughts with 7 to go ...
-
Canes eased off in 2nd half. Should have hit 80.
-
Tupou is ok huh. Shame he elected for Aus. Would have been a superstar if he stayed on the good side of the Tassie.
-
Godfry has a future
-
TJP might still have a future
-
O'reilly goes ok. Was he the dude with behaviour issues?
-
Canes locks too small to have much of a future
-
Lomax gunna be AB cornerstone next few years. Tupou good, Lomax better.
All for now.
-
-
Oh yeah, Kirifi is good, but too small for higher honours
-
And Flanders didn't live up to my fanboiing of him.

Yeah, he maybe should have moved to the shield snorters.

I'd like to see Delaney move to 6 and be a bit more abrasive.
