McDonald must be tearing his hair out. Maybe he should just select players outside of Auckland because their is a funk that can’t be removed. I don’t blame him at all.
He has to accept a lot of blame for his terrible selections.
There has been coach after coach that has gone through Auckland without success. When does the blame rest with the players and culture of the area?
Exactly, the Coaches job to sift through this and find the winning formula. Not easy with Blues as we have seen.
It's not easy when you keep picking the same failed players week after week after week.

Leicester F has been good at 13.
Should have conceded a try when he ran up and missed Sotutu but strong with his carries.
And has shut down Ioane all the first half .
I think a Ioane was doing half of that himself with his dropped passes and missed tackles.

Agree. Take Pat Lam as an example. Proven as a top coach but shafted by the players and administrators

Really like Dalton as a potential skipper moving forward , really testing the official and asking good questions..

He got told off early which was pretty funny, but I agree.

@steven-harris also hasn't negatively effected his play.

What’s this utter bulshit from these x players on sky ..? , the Blues have just got to believe they can still do it ...just make smarter decisions when opportunities arise and everything else takes care of itself ..
Mute it bro.

And getting tackled behind the advantage line by Leicester

Terrible start from the Saders. Our clean out still having halftime oranges!

Grace’s position in the ABs should be under serious threat from Blackadder. They are both big workers but Blackadder is also a running threat.
Yep. Grace doesn't look like anything special at the moment.

@act-crusader wait ..hold the phone ..
