Blues v Chiefs

[mofitzy_]

That Chiefs side is shockingly bad (hoping for a reverse jinx but honestly).

Amazing the difference 3-4 players can make to a side. Means the next tier can work off them rather than carry the can themselves.
Any Super side with MMac running the cutter is treading water. I think he has done an admirable job in general but, as others have pointed out, not only do you lose the aspect of an attacking 10 you get a handful of wtf moments that can be killers.
What has been good though is the way the Chiefs have slowly pulled back the season and hung tough despite these problems. I don't think they can sustain it but would be very happy for them to prove me wrong.

@Crucial huh, go figure. MMac seems like an attacking 10 whenever I've seen him play this season.

[Toddy]

MMac has looked better at 10 than DMac did at the beginning of the season. Though that's a pretty low bar.

How Jackson can ref the Chiefs beggars belief.

@Hooroo It could be worse, like Egon Seconds ...

[Yeetyaah]

Dang man how does Glen Jackson still have a job at this level.

[Duluth]

No fan of Jackson, but he is far better than Briant

I really wanted to tip the Chiefs this week, but then I saw the team lists...

Which sparked a thought in my mind. What happened to Nutbrown?

@Donsteppa

Good strategy - we can be happy with either result.

I fear the Chiefs are looking most crippled at the moment. Hopefully Akira is too damn tired to go into beast mode with the ball in hand and Otere comes on early to choke the Blues backs so the Chiefs have a chance.

We have 4 top draw players. 3 of which have barely played this year. We're fucking lucky a few nobodies have stepped right up, or we would suck at like Tana-era Blues level

This really isn't the week to complain about your franchise and coach who led you to the playoffs last year.
