Ball also clearly came off cheating Chief's arm for that try, ref says SIONE 4EVA IN R HARTS

Hunt is excellent at the restarts.

Eh?

I know you are you said you are but what am I?

KiwiMurph

That was a blatant yellow - even a ref as shit as Hoffman got it right.

Stargazer

And another injury. Mitchell Graham stretchered off.

Fuck I hate these pre season things

antipodean

Oh that's ugly for Graham. No wonder he's on the green whistle.

Two needless injuries for the Chiefs.

Hooroo

Hey, it will be primo if we win this and lost half the 15 aside squad.

Arguably our best halfback looks nigh-nighs for the season and now Graham.

Please don't let Laulala on the field if he is in this tens squad

Dice

Seu is looking huge now, he use to be such a twig.

Unco

Gutted for Weber and Graham. Chiefs seem to have the worst pre-season luck over the last few years.

Fun final otherwise. Saders have some great defence, Chiefs with some great attack and work at the breakdown. Think I'd prefer a Super Sevens tourney though, as it'd be less physical than this.

Bad news for Weber. Good news for the Chiefs. Weber can't pass for shit.

What a shit comment.

Not as shit as his passing was.

KiwiMurph

That young halfback for the Chiefs (from Counties I think) looks v handy.

Canerbry

That was entertaining, there is something about the format that works, still decent breakdown play and covering defense, but plenty of gaps.

Lauaki would have been huge.

Bovidae

A heavy price to pay for the title. Well done boys.

So not worth it. This is a Mickey Mouse pre season Jimmy.

Meant nothing

Stargazer

The cost of the weekend:
Serious injuries to Fifita, Weber and Graham (don't know about non-Kiwi players).
And unknown, less serious injuries to other players. I remember Bateman going off with a back injury, but there were more.

Obviously, these injuries could also have occurred during training and "normal" preseason games, so it's unrealistic to blame the tournament format. I just don't think playing under the hot circumstances is a good idea. Normal preseason games are usually played in the evening when it's cooler.

TBF, the Chiefs could have lost those same players in the mickey mouse trial matches that are on at the moment now.

I didn't think I'd enjoy it but I quite liked watching todays matches. A Chiefs win over the Crusaders and a Canerbry hissy fit is always a good thing. I actually liked watching some of the fatties playing an expansive game.

Bovidae

The poor condition of the pitch contributed to Weber's injury. Graham's was just a freak accident that could have happened in any game.

Baron Silas Greenback

Weber didnt damage his knee.. he broke his femur....

Oh my!! I haven't read how long he is out for.

I assume it was near the Knee? Man that bone is tough as teak to break.
