Blues v Highlanders

[Tim]

You have to be a shit coach to reward nothing games from nobody NPC players with continued starts.

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean yeah his offence is reminiscant of a headless chicken, but the guy is a beast on defence.

[Hooroo]

How long can you blame the coach @Tim ? Surely it is the organization?

Your lot have had half a dozen coaches to blame in the past decade?

[taniwharugby]

@Hooroo its the city....look at the Warriors

[antipodean]

[KiwiMurph]

Fuck me the life of a blues fan is tough. Cripes.

[Bones]

Haaaa brilliant. Midfield scrum with a man up? No thanks, we'll take the quick tap with the line fully set.

[Tim]

@Hooroo JK and Umaga are both ex-AB's promoted beyond their level of competence. Never of them have won anything.

The organisation must have major problems though if it keeps hiring such poor performers. Just look at White with the Auckland NPC team.

[kev]

Fitting it ends on a mistake. No continuity, slow crappy ball from set piece, lots of mistakes, didn't handle kicks. They should be better than this.

Don't like the ball siting at the base of the ruck while they set themselves. Play like the Chiefs and move the ball quickly to space...(maybe skills aren't good enough...)

That's the thing. Everyone is blaming the wrong damn person/entity.

Anger should be completely focused on the organization

Don't forget the Blues and Auckland are two separate organisations.

Blues particualrly crap though.

Yeah but same same though.

[Bones]

Is there noone better than Duffy, really? Pryor should be there ahead of Gibson.

[Tim]

@Bones Really? I thought that Gibson was maybe our best tonight.

Duffy is very good under the high ball and provides the second fullback role.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim I'd start Cowley-Tuioti, seems a better lineout option.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim id be tempted to keep Akira on the bench - I think it suits him more

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Only if Luatua is available to start.

[Tim]

That was like watching an NPC game tonight.
