if he gets to about 50mins before being subbed, will amount to pretty much his whole season last year...

Just looked it up

@Duluth thought I was being generous, which does beg the question, why they re-signed him or didn't release him?

IIRC in his obviously brief time on the park he has done pretty well, his biggest weakness, his throwing was up to it.

My understanding he is a machine at trainings, a leader as well, so cant see why he hasn't been given more opportunities behind Parsons, hopefully this is his chance!

If West gets a touch more time and space from having Pulu inside then he will hopefully take on the line a bit more with SBW running off him.

This!
That short 10 (name escapes me - a great goal kicker)

Hickey?

@nzzp I wish I could forget Simon Hickey's name as well.

@mimic yep,

@African-Monkey sick burn bro. He was the best we had at the time, and I think could have developed. Unfortunately wound up sitting back and not steering a team around the paddock. Finding a top 10 is really hard.

I'm more upset about having to watch Benji Farking Marshall (or Jimmy Gopperth, for that matter). We even managed to stuff up Nick Evans.

OK, now I'm frustrated.

Go the mighty Blues tonight

Hickey is rubbish - aside from being a decent goal kicker. He looks bad at Mitre 10 Cup level let alone Super Rugby.

Blues are better placed now - all three of West, Francis and Perofeta are preferable to Hickey (and Noakes, Benji etc).

I fucking hate playing in an away jersey when there is no conflict with colours.

Well that wasn't too flash...

This is poor from the Blues. Placid and inaccurate on defense, and turnovers galore on attack.

Gunner

Blues a bit passive on defense and slipping off a few tackles.

Nepia

Damn, that was some silky skills from Ioane, R.

Also, why the stupid league style going to the TMO.

kiwiinmelb

Blues look like they have fronted for a Pre season game ,lacking in intensify

Just as I type that , they go over the line

African Monkey

Need to calm down and not panic. Rebels playing well so far.

Canerbry

Try bombed, Rabble taking them apart.

Megacoach Tits-For-Hands looks stoked.

Tim

Looked like a try to me!

Stargazer

New TMO protocols .... so is that how they are supposed to do it now?

It's faster.

Decisions were shit before, but took longer, so overall a win for me

Tim

Didn't the Rebels collapse the scrum?
