@kev IMO if you get a hand to it, you have a chance to intercept it.

kev

Rene came off his wing again. FFS.

Chris

Crikey, Big Levi is in a rich vein of form - he's causing all sorts of problems. Backs starting to find some rhythm late in the half.

Can't help thinking our forward pack should be better than what they are. We're not lacking in size.

I like the look of this young Fletcher Anderson though.

Fletcher Anderson on loan from Canterbury atm
But could stay at Ta$man because not much room in Canterbury LF,s.

@kev tbf he did well to keep hold of Tavatavanawai

But he's still rushing up, I mean a sick Tua looks better than both he and Hohaia in the 1st 40

J77

Close to 150 points conceded in 3 games after 30 odd in the first 4 games. Don’t deserve a finals spot with that sort of resolve.

kev

@taniwharugby yes but he created the break by not staying wide.

taniwharugby

@J77 yeah just awful last 3 games

kev

Pisi hands…

J77

@taniwharugby Manawatu will roll us at this rate

taniwharugby

@kev tbf he has been solid today. Popped up all over (even when he should be on his wing)

taniwharugby

Scrums Aye...finger to the wind

Oh what a surprise...☹️

Is that 8 from 8 by Ta$man? Gatland got 100% lastbweek too

J77

Can someone tell me where this team went from the first 5 rounds? Absolutely shocking. What an embarrassment

kev

Same thing as last week. Ta$man played at pace and our backline defence was not good enough.

Chris B.

Best performance by us this year - by a wide margin, I think.

Backs good, lineout good - scrum needs work.

@Chris - yeah - I see Anderson is ex-Christs College.

Bovidae

@Chris-B How was the new Ta$man prop Moli?

Nothing positive to say. To me our forwards are where they need to be but the backline D is way off, and we are being picked apart by the teams that run at us.

J77

Would not complain if that was Ranger and Hohaias last game in blue. Hate saying that about Rene, but Blake can sod right off.

How about a Tua/Murray midfield and give this young Tama Anderson a shot on the wing for the next games. Time to start prepping for next year and beyond as we have completely sacked this season.
