Highlanders vs Blues

@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.

@antipodean Been good the last 3 games.
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?

@antipodean was just offering an example of accuracy, because I had no idea what you are on about. Dalton is playing well.

I think he shows tremendous potential but really needs to develop his decision making on the field. A lot of his interactions are either unnecessary or ill suited to the developing situation.

@antipodean I'd like to see examples because I don't know what you're on about, especially in these last 3 games.
