Anyone think Finau might be future AB level?
He puts a shoulder on. One for the future.
The best cleanout of the weekend too on Christie.

After finally having a chance to read this thread, I'll add a couple of comments:
(1) Ryan doesn't offer much around the field and he was done in the scrums. He's doing an adequate job but the scrum was better with Dyer at TH. The Chiefs have survived with only 4 props (Proffit hardly used), so hopefully Moli comes back and finally delivers. Ta'avao has been missed.
(2) Jacobson is the defensive leader of the forwards, and he made a lot of important tackles. For example, stopping Sotutu from the 5 m scrum at the death.For the Blues, Clarke looked slow when you turn him around, but Marshall was silent when he did the same thing on Narawa's second try that he criticised Stevenson for when Clarke scored his own try. I'd still be concerned that he will continue to be exposed on defence with the ABs.

@Crucial very happy to have Dmac probing across field when in the face of a tight defensive line. His vision and options are second to none at the moment. He stretches defences because of that. If you can spin short or long and reverse passes like he does and have an array of short and long kicks as well as a good step and acceleration then I want you to hold the ball as often and long as possible.
Most of the great playmakers in league do something similar... to devastating effect.

@george33 Are the Blues on the road next week against the Rebels?
Yes. Rebels in Melbourne next up for the Blues.
Won't be a guaranteed win either. Blues in general need to step up a bit.
