Hurricanes v Chiefs

canefan

Canes almost paid for a crazy goal line dash by BB. Take the scrum man!

Bomb him Mess!

Tim

Two more awful passes from Weber in that passage. Cost the Chiefs points.

Donsteppa

I thought we'd be better this week for having DMac and Ngatai back. Instead the Chiefs backs are playing like a group of strangers with tunnel vision.

Thank goodness for halftime and hopefully a coaching rocket.

Fuck i hate TJP

How many replays does it take mate

BULLSHIT!!!

That's not the way it works either fluffybunnies. Fuck the TMO!

The TMO said he didn't lose the ball. Whats the problem?

Language used

Yeah, I know what you are saying mate, but I think the language used was more like {reading unofficial ref speak code]"You called it as a try on field, then thought you'd seen a knock on but actually you were right to begin with.......". I realise none of that is official ref speak.

Stargazer

Dmac has been awful. Headless chook with terrible game management.

Tim

Both teams poor tonight, though Hurricanes putting some heat on at the ruck and from Laumape on defence.

Crusaders would beat both by 30 points.

Tim

@stargazer He's done alright given the awful service from Weber.

Tim

Hall should be a long way ahead of Weber in the AB stakes.

Weber is typically poor under pressure. Tells in these sorts of games. I remember him having a shocker at the Cake Tin a couple of years ago.

Stargazer

@tim He made his mistakes all by himself, particularly that intercepted pass that led to the first try, but that wasn't the only time.

mariner4life

Does either 10 look like a test player tonight?

I reckon it makes the game more fun when it's a bit (lot) loose

Bah Chiefs are playing shit.

How did Jordie Barrett not get penalised for his shoulder on Alaimalo? You can't just fly sideways with your shoulder at a tackler pushing someone over the sideline.

Going over the guidelines, I’m actually not sure wtf the protocols say for that situation - seems like the system is set up for the TMO to assume a try is scored and only look for evidence of it not being scored? So, given that, the decision seems understandable. What a ridiculous system.

Having said that, Hurricanes are playing better - Chiefs are just too inaccurate - and I’m primarily looking at you Weber!

Stargazer

I've seen BB been illegally blocked twice; first time by Dmac (not penalised). It's annoying.

Big Bad DMac hurting poor little Bodie Neymar

Stargazer

@nepia What the fuck? How is being pushed into touch without the ball Neymar-like?

Donsteppa

Anyone know where Stephen Donald is whitebaiting?

Stargazer

@donsteppa In Japan.

I'm talking about his dive at the end of the half. I don't remember big bad DMac pushing him into touch.

I assume you were as annoyed when Jordie didn't get penalised for a shoulder on Alaimalo?
