    Good to get a win in QLD on a humid night.

    Humid my arse. It's been relatively cool.

    Compared to the SI and Christchurch, it was humid. Was still mid 20s when they were playing and 80% plus humidity.

    Are you in Brisbane right now? If this is humid then Christchurch is Antarctica.

    Perhaps we could copy the NFL and have a specialist goal kicker we wheel out, at the moment I would have Parker.

    Scott Robertson will be pissed with losing the BP though, I know I was. Thought the Saders gave that away far too easily. And what was with the 14 Players at the death b@llocks about? Surely they could have given Mitch Hunt a head injury (even if the medicos had clonked him on the head,) before they dragged him, I mean what plonker couldn't count??

    Did any notice how poor Mounga was last night? Kicking was off but it was his passing was terrible. Haven't seen that for a while.

    @98blueandgold I disagree. His passing and game management were excellent. Only forgot his kicking boots again. The player who's passing was terrible was Drummond.

    I am a fan of Mo'unga, but I do think a couple of concerning elements have crept into his game since last year. The obvious is his goal kicking. He's normally more reliable than what we have seen from him lately so hopefully the trough he is in is temporary. The other thing that bugs me is that he is missing touch too often from penalties. He seems to be going for too much distance. He did it for the ABs last year too.

    No, he had a few passes that went to ground and almost gave away an interception. Looked rushed more than normal, most likely due to the weaker pack with all the ABs out.

    Take away the easy ride behind a dominant pack and he looked fairly average. Drummond having a mare didn’t help either. He was all kinds of shit.

    That's two weeks in a row that we've lost the bonus point by giving away late tries. Hopefully it won't matter (and definitely won't if we keep winning) but it's hurt teams before. Hopefully the end of the All Black time limits will help with that.

    @Cyclops definitely nowhere their best..I think a lot of the handling errors will frustrate the coach..like how they went back to some good old fashioned forward play to just let the Reds forwards know who’s the boss

    Man I hate that yellow card. Player doing nothing wrong trying to get back into a defensive line and a halfback cynically exploiting it (and getting rewarded for it).

    Why is it always assumed that the halfback's pass wasn't going to find the supporting player?

    This one, the "catcher" was in position with his hands ready. Similarly with Aaron Smith in a test last year, the ball was going straight to Scott Barrett.

    He could have but he also had other options. I'm okay with that one being a penalty, I just don't think it should be a yellow.

    In that area of the field with the opportunity his lazy running ruined, it should be a YC.

    Yeah, that's the good thing about this start, we're looking a long way short of our best (except for the first half against the canes), but still getting wins.

    Do you agree it should be a yellow card even if the ball doesn't get thrown into him?

    Then it wouldn't hit him would it?

    Are you being deliberately dense or feebly constructing a point?

    I'm asking you if that should have been a yellow card if the ball did not hit the player. You have not answered the question. So I have asked it three times. If you don't want to answer it, don't.

    From the WR Lawbook:

    It seems to me, that Mo'unga should have been allowed to stay on the field.
