I don't think Trask did himself any favours against the Blues. He spilled a few under the high ball and threw some poor passes, albeit playing at fullback.
Yep. That he was at fullback probably impressed Clayton even less, given that's where he played him all NPC.

and Stevenson ahead of Tiatia in the reserves. Tiatia is the coaches pet though.
Either that, or that Stevenson runs even more hot and cold than Tiatia

Also interesting they keep Jacobson at 8 (usually a 6) and PGS at 6 (usually an 8). Is this calls from higher up to give LJ more time at 8 for later in the year?
LJ has played at 8 the last part of the comp hasn't he? Made a bloody good fist of it too, so I reckon it is a good move to leave him there even with PGS.

Crusaders $1.24
Chiefs $3.70 -

I was going to ask if LJ played 8, it would be a good idea regards AB positions...

I thought they might go with Ennor's greater experience over Leicester's match play, but not a big surprise that they didn't.
The legend of Ennor really has grown hugely while he's been injured eh. He's not exactly some old vet! Only really one season over Faingaanuku.
Out of interest it's a 2 hour drive from Braydon to Leicester.

Yeah. Stevenson hasn't moved to BOP yet.

McMillan did say at the start of SRA that they prefer Jacobson at no.8 so he can get his hands on the ball more. PGS can also have some handling errors off the back of the scrum. Or near the goal line.

Exactly. Failed to follow coach's instructions

I hope it’s a tight game and we put up a decent challenge.
The lack of posts here this week suggest it's a done deal to be fair. Never lsot a home playoff game ... not starting now against this Chiefs team.

Sadly, that’s how I see it. We have exceeded expectations getting to the final.

Nah. I reckon we are right in this. If we win it won’t be pretty it will be a scrappy disruptive affair with scrambling defence and broken play tries.
I just feel that the Chiefs will have a stronger fight in them. They are a really tight unit now that will fight hard for each other.
I have faith. -

I'm not reasonable at all when it comes to Cantabs. 1982 still hurts. I blame Deans.
