Chiefs v Blues

[WillieTheWaiter]

interested to see how big Gus goes.. to be honest you'd think he'd be the perfect guy to come on in the last 20 and go nuts - Liam much better in the tighter early exchanges..

Just don't get why Messam and Ngatai in the reserves.

Managing players. Ngatai is well overdue for his next long term injury, so by playing him for only 20 mins a match, reduces the risk ?

[Bovidae]

@MajorRage

Matson also said the coaching team had talked about the desire to have experienced players such as Messam and Ngatai to take the park at the back end of games, bringing composure to close them out.

I'd just play them for the whole game myself.

[Stargazer]

Charlie Ngatai has been pulled from the line-up because of a 'niggle'. I didn't hear who has replaced him on the bench.

[Tim]

@stargazer Replaced by Alex Nankivell.

The Chiefs injury run continues...

[Tim]

Blues' bench has changed, with Jimmy Tupou replacing Orbyn Leger, so a 6-2 split in favour of forwards.

Some good changes in there. Didn't know Tana had it in him to drop Tupou.

Spoke too soon haha

Pretty innacurate start by the Chiefs, but they’ve now got three back. Looks like they’ve decided to try to go through them.

3-6 after 9.

[African Monkey]

Our midfield looks lost on defence as usual.

[gt12]

Wow, great try from the chiefs, awesome pass from Dmac after an Alaimalo break.

Yeah Ioane totally at sea, what a waste of the world's best winger

[Tim]

Why they didn't sign Matt Vaega ...

[gt12]

Holy shit Perofeta.

[gt12]

Reckon I could kick it better than that.

[African Monkey]

@machpants Not helped by TJ Faiane who doesn't seem to be getting any better at this level.

[gt12]

Chiefs lucky there. Shocking forward pass missed in the direct lead up

[African Monkey]

Aaaaaand another poor kickoff.

[Steven Harris]

Totally agree about the forward pass,bad enough when your not helping yourself with 2 x poor kick offs,but you can do without poor officiating

[Machpants]

TTT looking good, we need some more half backs!

Twelve missed tackles already jeez
