    @Kirwan Lol, that's coming from the most biased ferner ever.

    You are giving me a decent run for my money.

    @Kirwan Nope. I based my comment on facts. You should try it sometimes.

    Hilarious. You make Canerbry look like a Blues fan.

    @Kirwan I know you like dismissing my comments as red&black bias. It's amusing. And hypocritical, coming from the most one-eyed ferner.

    Umm, I ain’t alone with that.

    Todd May have made a lot of tackles, but that’s not surprising after that first 30mins where we had hardly any ball.

    How many turnovers did he get? How many dominant tackles? He knocked on with one of the few carries he had.

    He’s a distant third behind Cane and Savea and going backwards.

    I just didn't notice him

    I call it the "Reuben effect". It works for other players too.

    I haven't said anything to suggest the contrary. I just don't think Todd was as bad as people are saying.

    Todd was better in the second half as the game opened up but did bigger all in the coal face in the first half.

    @KiwiMurph That probably applies to most ABs.

    If anything, all the handling errors killed the few opportunities we had.

    Whilst I agree with that. Todd is just one one of those solid reliable players - he probably ain't going to win you a match - or lose you one. I like a little more excitement in my life.

    @Kirwan That's the thing. His stats may look good but as most of us know, they don't tell the full story. Not hating on Todd, he's a solid journeyman who's been a good servant for Canterbury rugby and always given his best for the ABs when given an opportunity, but Savea and Cane are miles ahead of him and there's no need to persisit with Todd anymore. I would have liked to have seen Papali'i given more than 3 minutes out there as well.

    Surprised by the lack of love for BFA. He, BBBR and Coles for me.

    @Bovidae BFA was easily caught by loose forwards, that's the problem most of us see. Slow

    @Machpants I'm not saying he was at the top of his game but far from the worst back. I can't pick BB due to his goal-kicking woes.

    Just skimmed thru the 2nd half - watched the 1st live. Weird game.

    BB, Coles and TJP for me. Aaron Smith also impressed.

    SBW. The papers said it was a ‘magic’ pass.

    Also didn’t get injured or sent off.

    Yes, it was all about that "magic" pass. Skinning the defence centemetres from the sideline had nothing to do with it. That really is next level banboi.

    @MiketheSnow same for me. Footwork from Coles and Anton got us through that rush D.
