Fihaki had a couple of nice long passes too.
With his defense and distribution he's more suited to 13 or 15. He offers nothing on attack on the wing.
Not sure about defence. He has had real issues on defence this year.
Is there enough room for Lam? Without anymore injuries the midfield 4 will be Jordie Havili Rieko and Proctor
Clarke Reece and Jordan are certainties out wide - Love will get the 10/15 role.
I presume someone like a Carter will make it and/or a Narawa.
Lam with his ability to cover midfield and wing should see himself in the squad but there's also big Jim, Fihaki (lol) etc.
Personally i'd think about giving Clarke a bit of a rocket and leaving him out of the French series which would open up an extra spot to take a look at some of these other options.

Aussie tail frustrating the jaaps.
Starting to get near 250 lead which will be difficult to get.
It's been difficult to get for a long time. Proteas don't have the batting class against this all time bowling line-up.
Well it didn't take very long for this comment to look utterly stupid.
@Wapiti said in SF Crusaders v Blues:
@KiwiMurph maybe true for today, but 2 seasons ago the Blues won 10 lost 5, this year won 7 lost 9, knocked out at the same stage each year. So you can’t be happy with this season.
Winning 10 and losing 5 doesn't mean much when you get pumped as badly as what happened 2 years ago. It was embarrassing. Preferred this season - went down swinging.

@Jet Unintentional, yes. But some of the worst technique I’ve ever seen. They needed 10 mins on the bench for the coaches to teach them how to tackle again.
Sotutu got lucky Fihaki stepped. If he didn't, he was just barrelling for his head. That was genuinely woeful technique, and was an absolute brain fade.
Ennor's wasn't much better.
From the kickoff/restart he flew up - had plenty of time to change his approach - was asking for trouble.

@KiwiMurph a loss is a a loss is a loss…
As a fan - not exactly. Two years ago I was angry at a pathetic Blues performance. This year not the case.

@Chris-B his line kicking has improved out of sight and is finally using his frame to good effect when he decided run
Yeah - he's going well. It's reflected by a few murmerings on here about his AB chances.
This year will be a bit early - but, playing himself into the discussion.
Maori ABs will be good for him too

@Lancaster-Park said in SF Crusaders v Blues:
Big pressure game that points to who can be considered for ABs and who misses out.
Havent seen the game.
ABs winners and losers from each team?Thought that Havili was bloody good, and Blackadder had a good one. All the usuals stood up. Jordan,Scooter Barrett etc for Crusaders BB, PT etc for Blues. Thought Papali'i went well too.
No mention of Lam at all?
@antipodean said in SF Crusaders v Blues:
@KiwiMurph You could have prime Nuggy out there and he'd be hard pressed making Ta'avao, Choat, Eklund etc. look like finalists.
Nuggy who won Super Rugby with that star studded Landers team

Thought Zarn played pretty well
He kicks long but did nothing on attack.
5 defenders beaten the most from either side. Good line break early in the second half but the only player available was Christie
He does lack pace though. Rather annoying
@antipodean said in SF Crusaders v Blues:
Blues ill-discipline and Finlay Christie meant they couldn't apply pressure when it counted.
Fixed

Yeah his lack of speed I do think holds him back
If only he had his brother's pace
@Bones said in SF Crusaders v Blues:
Shut up marshall, he ran in with no control
Exactly
Is he retarded?
