Moana Pasifika v Chiefs

[Mr Fish]

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.

I hope Wrampling gets on soon.

Edit: There he is.

[Mr Fish]

Lol there was zero obstruction there.

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.

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

[Yeetyaah]

Simon Parker has been great

[pakman]

Mafileo still one of top 3 scrummaging Super THs.

Was going to say, only half an eye on the game but whenever I've looked up he's been good. Making metres and solid hits.

[Yeetyaah]

Second half has been a big step up in quality from the Chiefs.

[ACT Crusader]

That was some decent footwork

[pakman]

Great reward for sticking with it, Moana!

[ACT Crusader]

“They are cracking down on that this season”

Hahaha that’s rubbish. I’ve lost count of the number of times where time has gone on after the ref has said use it.

[gt12]

Jacobson may not be the best in the country in any position, but he is pretty Masoey like at the moment. I like him at 7 for us.

[gt12]

That's a cracking fucking try.

Edit: TTT is finally looking much more like his old self at HB. Those were two crackers from him and Jacomb.

[gt12]

43 - 7 and honestly probably a pretty disappointing result, given who MP rolled out. They did well for quite a bit of that game until the Chiefs finally got their quick ball game going.

[frugby]

That wasn't a good watch. Moana after all these years still don't seem capable of being able to put in a performance on both sides of the ball. I really don't get the revolving door of selection... they need to build some connections. Picking Leuila at 10 was just dumb, and it hampered them.

[Bones]

Not sure about Smithy's wig.

[Bovidae]

Parker's best game for the Chiefs. He's not a 7 but can have an impact as a 6 or 8.

I'm a fan, Have watched Jacomb for the Naki, and been impressed. I am not saying he an AB or anything, but has got the potrntial ti be pretty good is there. He took over rfom Protoz and Perofeta as the Naki's preferred No 10, Not sure how many NPC games he has actually started, but maybe half dozen, and started 2 for Chiefs , he got a bit to learn, but he definitely tracking right way.
By geez I have to say I still a Jacobson fan, I not a highlights package fan, I keen on players that just keep working doing all their bits and pieces well. Once again not saying he kicks anyone out of ABs, but can see why Ryan is also a fan. ALB is looking ok too I thought.

[Bovidae]

Back to Murphy, he penalises both teams for not hooking the ball but refused to blow a scrum penalty.

[pakman]

Jacobson for me is a great man to have in 23 at Super level, but is a dirty dirty at test level.
