Chiefs v Blues

<p>Someone was giving out about Hall's passing....</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Guyton has been woeful, multiple passes at the head of West.</p> -

<p>TKB! Sacks Guyton at the ruck, who fucks up his pass and the Blues run it dead in their own goal.</p>

<p>Looked illegal... but not sure how...</p> -

<p>It looked weird but I'm not sure it was illegal.</p>

<p>BBBR in!</p> -
<p>BBBR seals the deal</p>

<p>Blues will probably go home with nothing, despite playing pretty well. Multiple brainfarts in their 22 though has cost them.</p>

<br>
Fuck, they did.<br><br>
Didn't realize that was possible.<br><br>
5 points. Fuck yeah.<br><br>
My tipping was miles off though. -
<p>Well as much as I bagged the Chiefs with their over confidence in the back hand pass - at least whenever they make a break or half break they're looking to link up and continue the movement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think the Blues main problem tonight was the opposite (other than the static phase play). How many breaks did they make, only for it to be shutdown due to the one guy just running off and taking a tackle, ignoring any of his support and not even making it easy for his support to get in a good position to continue or defend a breakdown?</p> -

<p>Thought he was shit at the ruck in the first half but was improved in the second.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chiefs win 29-23, both teams come away with a bonus point.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Really need to get Cruden kicking after the bye, at least at home.</p> -
<p>I know it's fun to have a go at the Blues at every opportunity but great effort all the same to them. We were always gonna struggle in the last 25 with Kaino off leaving next to no leadership out there and a backline full of kids but they gave it their all. People were expecting the Chiefs to win by plenty but were really made to work for that but well done to them.</p>

The blues have to be the worst coached team in the competition. Their attack is so laboured and slow when they have to construct anything. Contrast it to the individual brilliance we see when they get turnover ball and you can see what they could be.</p></blockquote>That's not coaching. Feeney has been telling West to get moving forward with the ball before releasing it ( heard him say so on the radio last week) but for some reason West makes the whole backline take the ball flat footed. That's why they only look good from broken play. <br>
Sadly for the Blues they are still lacking a decent 10.<br><br>
Edit: saying West isn't decent is harsh on the guy. He is a good player just not at the class needed to compete at the highest level -

<p> </p>
<p>Yep, because the Chiefs scored their tries but also gave away far too many penalties.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And because West had the best boot tonight. 100%</p> -

<p>I think you're being harsh. Leaving aside the Reds, the Cheetahs etc, Tana has had to pick up the pieces from Kirwan. That was a pretty decent performance overall.</p>
