You always do, don't you?
No ... I think I was supporting the underdog. But in what world we're those guys the underdog. Maybe I felt sorry for Rob Penney. And I had Reece in my Fantasy team ...

On the subject of the coverage., how shit was that segment just after half when Nisbo and Mashall interviewing Penney while the Hurricanes attacked?
Here's a thought: "Hang on Rob, we'll get back to you ... "

Dude what were you smoking, canes ewre always on a hiding. Vs saders at home with a grand total of one AB (one tenth the caps)? Supported the wrong side if you were going for the dogs!

Exactly my point ... I think I still have sympathy from last year ...

Roigard's kicking was really poor. His clearance and decision making was slow, and he provided no leadership or structure in the 2nd half.
Not looking good for Hurricanes. Might miss playoffs.
First game
Another fine analysis. -

Enjoyed the game, even if Canes did lose. Thought Crusaders certainly deserved win, Canes need to get some players back. Young Harkin and wing (can't remember name off hand 7s player) tried hard but were pretty lost on defence. Harkin will be ok with experience , but looked out of his depth to me. Still in general thought it was ok.

@Canes4life, I am sorry to write this, but Roigard (early days for an All Black though) was poor and I was far from impressed by Godfrey. Both made several unforced errors. After watching this game, I have the impression that Harkin could be a better 10 than Godfrey. It would be interesting to see them swap their jerseys for the next game.

Lively game from former AB Sevu Reece.
Wishful thinking. How did former AB David Havili play?

A hell of a lot better than the hurricanes midfield.

I did like Godfrey's ability to take on the line. Very much like a young Donald. Harkin definitely looked like a ten playing fifteen.

He reminds me of more of a young Beaudy, even kind of looks like him. That is before Beaudy started kicking the ball away every time he got the chance.
I hope the Canes persist with Roigard and Godfrey, last thing we need is chopping and changing like the Crusaders did last year.
Godfrey will go better with Higgins and Proctor outside him as well. Umaga-Jensen and Sullivan were all over the place.

Good first up win for the Crusaders.They closed out the back end of the game well, big improvement from last year.
Apart from Jordan,and Reece who played very well, Kemera went well very composed and looked like he has found his feet in SR.Bower was strong off the bench along with O'Connor.
Moanana had a really strong game up front with Williams and Lilo-Willie.
Something to build on going forward. -

Thought he played well.might make a comeback.

Yeah, I thought he had a good game. Taha kicked well and put his outsides into space. One nice pass would have led to a try but for the Havili knock-on. Not passing to Fihaki was the only bad mistake.

Yep that non pass blew a try, he did use great footwork and speed to get to the outside but then didn't pass..
Hopefully he can kick on. -

He looked much better outside Preston than outside Hotham
Hotham was only on the field for 8 mins, and for most of that time they were defending.
