Moana Pasifika v Blues
-
So what changes are likely for the Blues?
Clarke back & AJ shifts to the right wing?
I presume Cam Christie will come in for Segner. Maybe on the bench with Choat starting?
Fullback could be interesting - Sullivan, Forbes, Evans & possibly Perofeta all going for one starting spot? I assume they give Perofeta another week and the bye to get over his niggles

Get fucked that's a turnover. What is with the regressing standard of refereeing?

Thought Ardie scored there.

@Tim said in Moana Pasifika v Blues:
Blues need to kick deep.
And out. Slow the play down.
Moana probably edging the physical battle so far.

Be surprised if Hoskins finishes this match took a massive knock on the shoulder and looks to be struggling

I don’t mind Donald’s comments but he definitely doesn’t have a voice for commentary.

How is Savage allowed to change his bind and just grab Riccitelli?

Ardie showing Beaudy how to hoof it.
