This season might not have gone the way the Landers would have liked but man there is some talent in this team to build around. TK, Holland, Tim, Tangitau, Tele'a, JRK, Fakatava and even Cribb was very good tonight.
Jack Taylor, Ma'u has been good apart from the mid-season blip, Hurley has everything, Nareki good when fit, Withy is really underrated, Lasaqa too. A decent side. We just haven't won.
There is a really good team in there. Need a 10 though!
I reckon you should stick with Robinson. He was very good tonight and a bit shocking that he was pulled.
I reckon he's a decent bench 10. Tough, measures up well. Compare him to the other starting 10s he is a long way behind.
Don't want Aiden Morgan. He isn't the answer.

@SouthernMann also might need Gilbert Enoka or someone to come in and talk to the lads about how to dig deep towards the end, we are a good 70 minute team at present

If I was the Landers I'd go for someone like Harry Godfrey. He was probably going to be the Canes ten long term but his injury may have now changed Ruben Love's trajectory, so he may look elsewhere now to get gametime.

Geez that was a tough watch. Thought the ref was very loose tonight. Too many errors and slow ambles to ruck from Fakatava were costly, but subbing of Robinson was the killer.
I was impressed by Lasaga Lowe Cribb and Holland. JRK and Howden useful too. Only Reece, Ennor and Lio Willie impressed me for Crusaders.
I guess all the themes played out tonite... -

If the Fern led rumours around Jacomb are true that would be absolutely outstanding! Just what we need

One massive bright spot for the Landers tonight was TK Howden. Get him black, he has everything we are looking for.
And the chances he actually get picked? About zero
Grace who I didn't even notice will get picked ahead of him.
Grace isn’t big enough to be a lock or hard enough to be a 6
Who?

Tele'a at 13? Is he heading offshore? That backline is very tidy, just have to sign some big names up front and the Landers will definitely be competing for the top 6.

Just not sure with Tele'a. Rumours around signing Grindlay as well.
All we really need in the pack is a carrying 8. Although Withy did a heck of a job there tonight. Ma'u is growing after his mid-season blip. I can't see the pack changing too much. Another year older will help a bit!

No mate, you don't understand, whenever a Jamie Joseph-coached team loses the narrative is always he has no good players and Jamie was simply unlucky, it's nothing to do with the coach mate.

@Grooter We need to get more Ta$man boys back in the team quick smart!
Macca can probably take a break and let Fern Favourite Fihaki have a run, though.
SBarrett another who probably won't remember that game fondly.
In my mind, there's a correlation between letting someone run out first to celebrate a big milestone - and a shit team performance. If I were a coach I would ban that procedure.

I couldn’t tell right at the end but did both Williams and Bower play the full game? I don’t think I saw Ponini come on for his debut?

Bower was replaced very late (77 mins). The Highlanders props played big minutes too (73 mins).

@ACT-Crusader I think I recall the commentary said Calder was on right at the end. Not sure who for.
