Jackson's not my favourite ref but he did well to ignore Cane's constant whingeing.
He's a donkey of a ref. You'd be forgiven for thinking his father was Keith Lawrence...

Starting to think crotty should be a priority signing for 2019. The guy is mostly missed when he's not there.
Which is different to other missed players....how? I can only really think of Reuben thorne.

So I wasn't that fussed when Tamanivalu went to the Crusaders this year, well, that came back to bite me in the ass.
@gt12 Yeah, both Messam and Leitch seemed willing but weren't able to be as effective as they usually are.
@Samurai-Jack What Chiefs fans called for the Clan to be disbanded? I'm sure it was Crusaders fans so they could gobble up Aaron and Ben Smith for their empire.
Anyway, what an annoying weekend of sport - Warriors lost (given), Chiefs, then Canes. At least Hastings Boys stopped this from being a complete dead end.

Inspired move by Robertson to convert him into a fulltime winger. He's been superb this year.
The 5 minute passage of play where he first put a massive hit on Mackenzie (right in front of our seats, you could hear the contact). Then the awesome chip and chase to be held up over the line before finally scoring from the scrum move was the turning point of the game I think.
Very happy he's decided to stay next year.

Robertson does seem to be a good coach and gets the best out of the team after some very average years (by Crusaders standards). However if Sam Walker is correct about on field leadership, it might be Sam Whitelock's influence that has turned around their fortunes? Not a great thought as a fan of the Ab's and Kieran.

The cross-eyed surfer outwitting genius future AB coach in waiting Dave Rennie - appearances are deceiving.

Mount Maunganui College's finest. Rennie stood no chance
