SR Final - Blues v Chiefs

[sparky]

Patrick Tuipolutu has been fucking huge.

[Tim]

What an Auckland legend.

Too many Chiefs haven't really turned up tonight. The Blues are a well-oiled machine.

Despite some of the comments in the thread over individual players I agree with @antipodean they haven't really had a chance - I don't think it's the individual players not turning up, they've just come up against a better team on the night, and there's little individual players can do to reverse the tide.

[MN5]

AJ Lam is stepping up at the right time

[Frank]

AJ Lam > Havili

I'd be surprised anyone would argue that-apart from maybe kicking.

Not hard

[Frank]

DMac has been solid.
Hasn't done stupid things under immense pressure.

[sparky]

@Nepia Chiefs have conceded ten penalties to the Blues 3. Poor discipline has made a bad situation worse for the Chiefs.

100%

Chiefs worthy finalists (as the Canes would have been if they’d got there)

But the Blues just too good, total domination.

Have been the best team this year, and will be deserving winners.

I was just thinking that, which Chiefs backs haven't wilted? DMac, and, ah..maybe ALB but I have hardly seen him.

They have backs?

Great try

[MajorRage]

Chiefs get everything wrong. Completely on the wrong side of Berry too. Including advantages, must be about 20-2.

Just awful. Heads down too and it’s showing.

Jacobsen close to the only one showing any sort of AB mentality.

[Canes4life]

Fkn well played Blues. We’ll deserved. Dominant.

[Victor Meldrew]

Could be 50+ points here. Record for a SR Final?

[Frank]

Darry has to be in the ABs.
Big motor, good in the lineout.

Didn’t the Saders beat the Tahs by 90? Was that a final?

Bulls put plenty on the Chiefs when they were in their heyday didn’t they?

[nostrildamus]

Marshall seems to love Christie's thinking but I reckon this is all coaching strategy.

[booboo]

Well, saw the result coming, but not the margin/ total domination.
