Am I the only one who thought Christie was alright off the bench? Thought he controlled things and helped us close the game out well.
Just because he doesn't possess Aaron Smith's pass doesn't mean he didn't play well in other areas.
He had a couple of very good phases especially in the lead up to that penalty kick (that DMac never took). But too much standing around for my liking.

Thought Christie was very good 👍

Love it how Razor was bricking it at the end.

man, Razor's PR work is on point, down on the field with the sideline crew, talking through game tape - love it.
Fozzie did that too ...

Who would be the next halfback if Perenara is ruled out
Fakatava?
The other player starting with F for me.

Please no, he's awful this season. Reece would be great there no shit, he does well and is often there when the nine didn't make it

Christie was fine, he just (same as TJ) needs to act rather than fuck about. Bullet pass Smith is missed, but more that fact he rarely wasted time at the ruck. Just play and don't wait
How was Smith able to do that, did he just have a better feel for where the game was going, trust himself to make instant calls?

@booboo ah fair enough - i'm using an illegal stream to watch the game - normally the legal canada feed cuts off when the game is finished, so this is all new to me
Admittedly Razor seemed to talk more detail

The issue is Christie has never changed the time wasting and we are years and years into his career.
He's not going to suddenly change.

Yeah I think everyone has all their fingers and toes crossed Roigard can get back to his best after that horrific injury.

Totally, but these guys have been around long enough to just do it

Reece has a good fast pass so no he can't be an AB 9
