Moana Pasifika v Chiefs

[African Monkey]

@gt12 Yeah that's bizarre.

[gt12]

Jacomb in - we need to stack on some points while they are down to 13

[gt12]

Sititi has been terribly inaccurate today

[Yeetyaah]

Get Sititi off the field he's having a shitter

[gt12]

Fuck me, they are going to give up points here? The Chiefs are just mentally weak this year.

[gt12]

Fuck it boys - accuracy!

[Yeetyaah]

Rubbish half. To think nearly drove up for this too.

[African Monkey]

I can see why the Crusaders beat this Chiefs side they sent down to Chch. If Moana didn't keep fucking things up while on attack they'd be well in this game.

That's clearly direct and reckless head contact.

issue is, it doesnt matter if it is reckless or accidental head contact, result usually the same

[Bovidae]

Jacomb started very nervously.

Hames summed up what I was going to say about Sititi.

As usual, Damon is all over the place with his calls.

This game sucks. Roe is ass, Taukei'aho is ass

It's been great to see him carrying the ball and making ground again.

I really don't get Moana's revolving door selection strategy. Surely Havili is first name on the team sheet at either 10 or 15?

[Yeetyaah]

Great try holy shit

[Bones]

That right there is why Vaai has no right to be an AB right forward. Blown away by opposition backs as if he's not even there.

I don't get this team, they sometimes look very focused and at other times incredibly inaccurate.

I think right now we are losing the kicking game and just can't build pressure. The missed tackles are starting to stack up too - some pretty casual looking efforts out there.

[Yeetyaah]

Moana player swears at the ref and just gets a chat

[gt12]

People go on about the Saders looking like shit despite having quality players; this game shows that if you run out a few players who just aren't ready (Jacomb), still developing (Sititi) or not quite good enough (Roe) in the spine, you'll look very average.

[Yeetyaah]

Give a yellow ffs that's 2 offsides after plenty of warnings.

[Bones]

@gt12 huh, what's the problem with Roe? He's very good. That long pass is unmatched by any other halfback.

Jacomb looks like he's a decent NPC player though, just a beat behind whenever he gets the ball.

I don't disagree. I think if that was under a NH ref team it would be RC. I also think this insistence on ruining games has done sweet fuck all for reducing head injuries.

My previous comment is what I understand they're doing, not what I want to see happen.
