Force v Highlanders

Bones

@Bones Since his great game in the Trans Ta$man final he really has dropped form dramatically.

He just doesn't even try and do the basics well, I really don't know what he's showing in games for the coaches to be so loyal.

Bones

How's the pass from Groot!

Bones

Move Paea to 10, that's the solution. He can't be worse and could be the making of him.

Toddy

Was the ref correct not to penalise the 14 when he played the ball after being tackled and never regained his feet?

Stargazer

Berry is a bit too happy to dish out the cards to the Landers.

KiwiMurph

Harmon great work

Hard to argue with, especially the second one, after Groot had already seen a guy binned.

Stargazer

@Bones Yeah, de Groot's card I have no issue with, but Parkinson's?

SouthernMann

What did de Groot do wrong?

SouthernMann

Nic Berry is a dick

I didn't see what it was for, I saw him bind at the back so no idea how he ended up on the force side, but I think Berry had one or two other options there too.

Interesting to see Ainsley being solid all season and now he can't scrum against the mighty force loosehead though.

Collapsed a maul on his own tryline after seeing a teammate binned a few seconds before.

Grooter

Good turnover Frizell

Stargazer

Makalio down?

KiwiMurph

Force with a clinic in how not to score vs 13 men

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph Nice reverse jinx.

Watch out though, we'll get a penalty and BOOM, you're 15-20m back downfield with the Hunt power punt.

Why don't CGB or Gilbert take the kicks? Because it might harm the confidence Hunt is showing?

KiwiMurph

Would Landers be much worse giving their young U20s 10 Ajay F a run?

Bones

Can't see higher honours for TUJ. He's a liability on defence. Running around in no man's land, falling off tackles, then a nothing penalty when we'd only just shaken off the advantage from one.

Stargazer

Pen try and MMT getting the team yellow.
