Chiefs vs Force
-
<p>sweet, had the chiefs needing to win by 31+ (or 30 something) in my multi! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And with all those injuries too!</p> -
Not bad but op was the force.<br><br><br>
Loved seeing the Chiefs putting some phases together...hopefully they keep it up -
I owe 2 players apologies after dissing them a couple of weeks back. NgÄtai & A Savea. I was wrong. <br><br>
But McKenzie: my favourite player currently an excellent 15/10 playmaker almost in the mould of a league playmaker. AB for sure. -

<p>Leitch earns a penalty, he's been very good, <strong>but is getting fellated heavily</strong> by the JP cons in listening too.</p>

<p>Deserved I'd say - he's been impressive, especially as his first year when injured at the Chiefs we were all wondering WTF.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was impressed with Seu, and this was before his run, he was hitting rucks and moving bodies like he was a brown BBBR.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ngatai, one pass aside also had a good game. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>McKenzie is dynamic. Cruden looks to be controlling the game well too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good fun game of footy to watch.</p> -
D Mac looked a class above out there from what I saw of the match. Deserves a shot at higher honours if his form continues.

<p>Excellent game of the Chiefs backrow. Cane was everywhere when it counted, Sanders drove hard and Leitch was great at the breakdown.</p>
<p>I am not too convinced by Weber. He is too eager and this makes him take the wrong option sometimes. His defensive channel with Cruden was also cruelly tested twice by Masirewa. TKB clearly better than him in this aspect.</p>
<p>Good news is that Moli looked very comfortable when he came him. He was dominant in the scrum.</p>
<p>Allardice is also improving very quickly this year.</p> -

<p>A good example was in the 2nd half when Weber butchered a certain try by ignoring a huge overlap to his right and running himself close to the ruck and losing the ball in the tackle. Weber's other problem is that his passing can be very inaccurate (passes can be too high or too low).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was at the game so a few other comments:</p>
<p>Ngatai - nuff said.</p>
<p>Tamanivalu was really poor defensively. He has a tendency to rush out of the line and miss spot tackles. </p>
<p>I really like this Chiefs loose forward trio - they complement eachother well.</p>
<p>Seu impresses more every week.</p>
<p>The Chiefs got good impact from the inexperienced bench. A surprise to me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BUT the highlight of the night was when Beaver took the field. Everyone in my area rose to their feet to applaud. :)</p>
