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?
@African-Monkey said in Blues vs Rebels:
@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.
-
Blues a bit passive on defense and slipping off a few tackles.
-
Damn, that was some silky skills from Ioane, R.
Also, why the stupid league style going to the TMO.
-
Blues look like they have fronted for a Pre season game ,lacking in intensify
Just as I type that , they go over the line
-
Need to calm down and not panic. Rebels playing well so far.
-
Try bombed, Rabble taking them apart.
Megacoach Tits-For-Hands looks stoked.
-
Looked like a try to me!
-
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
-
Didn't the Rebels collapse the scrum?

Caaaaaaanabrrrrrrrrry!
Some class trolling there. -
@Tim I was about to say where's the advantage?
-
@Tim yes that was a definite penalty, in and straight down
-
The Blues are screaming our for a Kaino or Ranger out there to show the boys what a big aggressive hit looks like.
Fuck Ihaia, wtf was that.
-
WTF was that?
-
Looking forward to Francis at 10
-
Aaaaannnnd the panic begins to set in.

It's not trolling when you're right, no matter how much it fucks you fluffybunnies off.

To put on my Magpies hat for a second - it was the object of your fawning that put him in that position with that long slow pass. His other option was to hospital pass it to the guy outside him.
Anyway, Garden Bachop did an early runner from NZ rugby.
-
Great try!
-
Beaut try that one
-
That's a try the Rebels can't score.
-
West can kick; Garden-Bachop obviously can't.
-
With limited opportunities reiko has a look of class about him
-
The charge down wasn't West's fault, IMO. It was a team error - the ball was passed to Francis first and then to West giving time for the charge down.
-
Kicks inside the 22 fucking piss me off
-
FFS that was a shoulder charge and he looked straight at the ref after doing it!

Yeah either he was stuffed.
-
Awesomeness!
-
What a gift for R Ioane
-
Early impression, but the Pulu-West combo looks promising. West is definitely having a good game; just unlucky with that charge down.
-
Pretty happy with a 10 point lead after a strong first 20 from the Rebels. Pulu making a massive difference to our side already.
-
I'd dump Collins for Moala.
-
Nice tinny lead for the Blues at halftime, Rabble I reckon can spy their only win over a NZ side.
-
@Tim If we were chasing the game I would but he seems quite steady at the back without being spectacular so I'd keep him on for now.
