QF Crusaders vs Reds

I also thought Hall had one of his better games. Havs/Goodhue is not really working so not sure what they will do there for next week.
Hall was very good. And it was even more noticeable the drop in our speed of play when Drummond came on.
As long as Havilli and Goodhue make their tackles and run decoys for our back 3, then anything else they do is a bonus.

Crusaders should be up by more.
Having said that I am not particularly worried for them. The smart money has them running away with it in the final 20.
Probably put the mocker on them - which I am ok with. As a Highlander fan I would prefer to avoid them in the final.
So I got mocked for this but it turned out correct.

Into the semis typical Finals rugby.
Blackadder injury massive for us.
We were pretty wasteful tonight, especially in the first half. Probably half a dozen try-scoring opportunities that we butchered. By comparison, I think the Reds probably only had two good opportunities and they took both. That set piece try was very nicely done.
Blackadder's injury is a serious dent to our title hopes. Talismanic player. Looked bad enough that it will open up an AB loose forward spot for someone.

Since the only rely to that post was by me congratulating you on your own 'putting the mockers' on the saders call (as the reds scored straight after your post), I don't see how you were mocked?

I'm no fan of Pickerall.. But by his "standards"... Its not been his worst game
You might want to ask the Reds fans how they think he went.
Can someone research GAGR or the Roar and get back to us. I am too old for that these days.
Have been in there, they are convinced it was a red!
I'm astonished.
Don't be mate, now they a few think Reece should be denied entrance to Aussie.

Some excellent insight from our old mate Derpus on GAGR.
**"Coverage isnt even pretending to be for anyone but the Kiwis. All highlights Crusaders players, all talk about the Crusaders.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was cum dripping down their trousers."**
I thought he'd stopped watching this competition
Mate give Derpus credit, he gets pretty pissed, but will always admit he can't stop watching. He does actually love the game, and he gets real pissed with me at times, but he ok in my opinion, just because he a rugby nutter!

Yeah agreed totally.

I think Goodhue has to play 2nd five or Ennor’s pace is needed at centre in defence.

@Chris-B the other Ta$man number 6 might live to see another day in black
I'd rather see that spot go to Mikaele-Tu'u.
Good call actually I like that.

Super Rugby Pacific: Fears Ethan Blackadder will miss rest of Crusaders' season after injury against Reds | Newshub
The 27-year-old left the field in clear pain after an injury against the Reds.
-
@Chris Goodhue often appears on the wing on defence, assume this is planned where he is less likely to get exposed for pace as I expect he is smart enough to keep the attacker on his inside, plus he can organise from there
But yea think if he has desire for the black Jersey, he needs to develop at 12.
