@Higgins I always like to be reasonably confident about a source before posting..so its good to know there’s some traction to this info..

@Dice Aso apparently wants play for a Hurricanes franchise team, these signings are not set in stone,but there are some negotiations going on at this time.

I am hearing that Hawkes Bay may have snared 2 big signings
Isaia Walker-Leawere from Wellington and Vince Aso from Auckland .,might be one for you Stargazer to follow up..!.
Got this from a pretty good source ...that would give the Magpies a decent battery of locks

@Northlandallday Hodgman threw the pass to Moulds who got collected by the tackler at the same time..mind you it’s insignificant compared to the efforts of the Alan Parsons project who threw a short intercept pass because he virtually sent an invitation to Brad Weber and just to top it off,a piss poor weak as attempted tackle on ALB which lead to a try ..
Watched him standing in the huddle at the end of the game..the look on his face said everything..I should be starting off the bench in the next game against the Highlanders....but it won’t happen..because he trains the house down.
The Blues are now developing a very hard working and solid work ethic to their pack ,but Parsons is now starting to look the one that’s been part of this team for far too long and will not get any better..where I do believe there’s massive improvement in the other 7 that started last nights match.

@kev agree,really good cameo from both Moulds and Nock especially,2 box kicks were superb..and speed of pass is much quicker than Ruru..good game,much better than last nights game..you know it’s not gonna be your night Wainui flicks a pass up into his hands at pace..a couple pieces of good fortune definitely helped the chiefs out ..Robinson was still smashing into rucks in the closing stages.

You almost start believing it’s not your night when the opposition does something so freaky he would never ever do this again in his lifetime

@kev dumb kick from TJ..had numbers outside of him..great box kick from Nock

@antipodean I can supply a phone booth for the number of people who would agree with you..Bryant is about as poor as an official can be especially when it comes to break down..can think back to the Saders v Blues game round 1 where he continued to warn the Saders but failed to dish out out an cards not to mention a deliberate knock down from Manase Matele..no sanctions..
As for Jaco..is about as inconsistent as you can get...!,

@antipodean Garderer is the best in the business in my opinion,he’s not the reason the Blues are down 14-3..who in your opinion is best official ..?

@KiwiMurph seen that same picture in the Saders game,needed to hold his line in the channel just drifted a little to the left..
Other thing that is happening,the chiefs are holding pop passes,the Blues are dropping passes
