Got to wonder what fucking breakdown work highlanders are training. It's either go straight to ground providing no security or crouch down and look up before meekly getting blown away or walked around.

Lasaqa has been a real bright spot this season

Lazy from Tuipulotu ..just needed to keep on his feet

Can't see him getting higher honours at 7 only, time to look at covering midfield also.

He's going to be a heck of a player.

With the injuries we've had JRK and Faktava must look around the backline and thing who is going to support us.

Bones

That's the Lowe we know.

African Monkey

Yes! Great finish Fa'ilagi! (Bones probably likes him because he's Samoan).

Landers92

And there’s the difference. We had the chance to build pressure and took the 3 and missed. They had a chance and plugged the corner, built pressure and scored. So much of this is a mental battle at this stage of the season and we are struggling

Mattasaurus

no lift

Bones

Only the highlanders could concede a try out wide to through the hands immediately after the opposition had their whole team involved in a maul 🤣

I just don't think our guys personally believe they are good enough to win. They think the opposition is better than them.

Yeah the mental aspect has really got them defeated. Hopefully a win here boosts spirits but it’s looking like a hard ask

Fakatava has made a difference.

It is a very different team to the side that beat the Blues with 13 players.

Bones

I can't see how cleaning out no one a metre or so from where the ball is, is centred in not thinking you can win.

Landers92

Is that our first maul try of the season?

Steven Harris

All those missed chances from MP in the first half coming home to bite

Old Samurai Jack

OK Clan, no more dumb shit please.
