Papali'i was our best player. He's starting to string the good games together.
So this would be his first?

@Duluth on what basis do you say that? Nock looks good when he comes on.
On the basis he looks shit when comes on
That interception he threw just killed us. Didn’t he almost throw two?

@antipodean Been good the last 3 games.

@Duluth rubbish. Don’t know what games you have watched? His clearance and decision making have improved and he is starting to look the part. He is a young guy picked way too early. His best years are yet to come. The other halfbacks have been terrible so the Blues have a genuine issue but Nock probably has the best development left in him out of the 3.

By good you mean energetic? He's terribly inaccurate and needs to choose his moments better.

missing him for his leadership too, at points we just needed to take a breath and calm down.
We also need someone to pressure the ref. Co-captain Patrick is the ‘follow me’ guy, not the talker.
Listen to Ben Smith constantly nagging the ref -
@Chris said in Highlanders vs Blues:
@Kirwan where are they going to come from ?
Mitre 10 maybe very important for the Blues , Chiefs,Highlanders and for the Hurricanes to harden up their tight FiveI want the Crusaders backup hooker (from Auckland region I think), Manu back from the Chiefs and dunno about halfback.

17 tackles, no misses, seems pretty “accurate “ to me, whatever that means.

So he's there to tackle and nothing else? How effective are these tackles? What happens when he decides to join in a tackle rather than waiting to see what develops as a result?
