    Thankfully we shouldn't encounter another scrum as good again, they beat us badly there.

    Papalii makes a huge difference to this team.

    Clarke and Heem were missed too

    This would've been much worse without Funaki who must be in the AB squad now.

    I’d like to see the penalty count.

    Really surprised no one else is talking about how shocking the Blues discipline was.

    For me it was the biggest difference, if the Blues didn’t give away so many penalties, they’d have won.

    @Gunner It's been a growing issue.

    Nearly cost them vs Canes

    Leadership issue.

    It's a real pity no one tracks penalty advantages as well

    That surprises me, I feel like the Blues gave away a lot more than that.

    Blues are still top I guess on points difference

    Crusaders kept their chances alive

    @Gunner That's because our scrum was under real pressure for the first time this year.

    Perhaps some advantages that didn't eventuate in pens?

    Yes definitely, a couple of advantages ended in tries.

    Canes if we get Lomax back. And no more injuries

    Well I think you have to be a bit pleased for Crusaders win for their supporters'
    And I mean the ones that go to game, they have had good crowds all yearm and that's what proper supporters do, go and cheer support their team by being there regardless of how teams results are.

    @Winger I still think our scrum will hold its own against Lomax as good as he is.

    Newell is the best scrummager in the country.

    @African-Monkey lol Lomax is better than Newell. I’d take the Canes front row of Numia, Aumua and Lomax over the Saders front row any day.

    I care for them as much as I care for Brumbies supporters, which is to say not at all.

    Probably a welcome relief for Penney though to come out the other side with a deserved victory against the team on top of the table.

    14-6 according to JK during the aftermatch…

    How can the stats vary so much between providers?
