Chiefs vs Lions

Nepia

And the Chiefs look really shit on paper again.

Surely you’d have Stevenson over the Aussie at the back, has the Aussie played much 15?

Never like seeing the word injury in the same sentence as Brodie Retallick. Hopefully it is nothing major with his hand.

Stargazer

Decent looking 23. The Lions look like the side mostly capable of denying the Crusaders the title.

Seriously? Have you seen how the played the last few rounds? They're not even a shadow of the teams that played in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 finals.

@Duluth good to see Debreczeni back, interesting they got him running at FB...should chuck his name in the AB10 mix....

Sheesh, any old dude washes up in Taniwha country and you're proposing him for the ABs. It's like you're northern Cantabrians.

@Nepia I knew that would get you

@Stargazer I have. Point I was trying to make is I suspect they'll get better.

Is TTT in the doghouse?

Stargazer

@Dice Getting a rest from his heavy workload

@Stargazer I can't see him being at the Chiefs next year. I'm hoping we pick him up.

Listening to Cooper on RS, TTT has been released to play club footy.

Tried to sell it as a good thing; to get 80mins and it is his clubs centenary.

That's a scary combo.

Lions looking far better than they have recently

How was that not a knock on by their nine

Damo

Is Angus Ta'avo a liability? He got pinged a lot last week early and he's given away one already tonight.

Stargazer

Both Taylor and Coles would have continued running if they'd made a break like Marx just did.

Damo

Very lucky there. No release from the 9 for me. I guess he might argue he wasn't part of the tackle, but I thought he was.
