Ref Williams is all over the shop today.
he is missing so much stuff that is happening right in front of him
At least it’s going both ways, but Jesus it’s messy

Bloody Parsons!
And ruru. His botched clearance resulted in try, then stupid pass to Kane meant all that pressure
Yeah good call. Not sure Ruru suits under the roof. Quick pace exposes his weaknesses.

He was the last of many dumb decisions. He had so many opportunities to clear in that passage of play and just got too cute.

@Duluth why would coaches say good things about him if he pissed them off?
Why would they not play him if they think he is good enough?
Just strikes me as odd, not necessarily on MOulds (just seems I am vociferous on his defence cos he is from Northland, if Apisai wasnt shit I'd be backing his case too) the fact we have that many coaches that rate Parsons so highly...as I said last week, one of the highalnders coaches mentioned Parsons was always excellent, so is that some of the data they see we dont that shows he is a beast or something?
But even so, still doesnt explain why in this day and age of rugby, when the bench is important, Parsons is played for such huge minutes so often (when whoever is on the bench)
I can tell you what stats they must be looking at; hit ups and line out throws won, because anyone not looking at stats can see he's NPC level.
