I can see why the Crusaders beat this Chiefs side they sent down to Chch. If Moana didn't keep fucking things up while on attack they'd be well in this game.
I don't get this team, they sometimes look very focused and at other times incredibly inaccurate.
I think right now we are losing the kicking game and just can't build pressure. The missed tackles are starting to stack up too - some pretty casual looking efforts out there.

People go on about the Saders looking like shit despite having quality players; this game shows that if you run out a few players who just aren't ready (Jacomb), still developing (Sititi) or not quite good enough (Roe) in the spine, you'll look very average.

That's clearly direct and reckless head contact.
issue is, it doesnt matter if it is reckless or accidental head contact, result usually the same
I don't disagree. I think if that was under a NH ref team it would be RC. I also think this insistence on ruining games has done sweet fuck all for reducing head injuries.
My previous comment is what I understand they're doing, not what I want to see happen.

@gt12 huh, what's the problem with Roe? He's very good. That long pass is unmatched by any other halfback.
Jacomb looks like he's a decent NPC player though, just a beat behind whenever he gets the ball.
I think he pisses around getting to the ruck and getting it out of the ruck. He doesn't have a running game and his kicking game is very average - I think he's gone downhill considerably from where he was a year or so ago.
Edit: I think Jacomb might be good, but he looks exactly as you describe right now. This is a level he's not used to yet so it's not clear whether he'll excel in Super yet.

How competitive could MP be if they didn't have such bad handling?

It's been good seeing Sititi get some extra minutes this year but to me Parker is clearly the better player and should be next cab off the ranks behind Finau, Jacobson and Boshier.
that try from Parker, he reminds me of Liam Squire in full gallop, lol.

He looks like he's getting his time and space consistently wrong. Too deep when he should be flatter and vice versa.

That was some decent footwork
