Fair opinion
I took weber based on the quality of the opposition
Roigard was fucking good.

Blackadder
Dumb yellow card which cost his team massively. I can see why a Chiefs fan would pick him though

Akira was playing very well until he went off. But fair point regarding Blackadder. Who instead though.

Papali'i played the more than 50mins at 6 this weekend. I would pick him and that makes room for Harmon at 7

@canefan Roigard and Weber may have inside running behind Smith for AB's I wonder?
Sevu Reece was v good for Crusaders this weekend and Aiden Ross for Chiefs. Frizzell was huge for Highlanders.Smith is still #1

@Bovidae said in Best players in SR this week:
I thought that Parkinson was better than Dickson for the Highlanders. The latter still gives away some dumb penalties.
I'd pick IWL as the other lock myself.
Didn't IWL give away some dumb penalties too. Otherwise had a good gameq

Thought Vaa’i was very good and perhaps not as noticed as the attention was on BBBR.
Sadly Akira didn’t use the time off to learn to use his legs to drive in contact. Annoys the hell out of me that Frizell is one of the few tight/loosies that does because Akira is easily better than him in other aspects. As soon as he makes contact he just leans his weight forward and shrugs trying to shake the tacklers off. If only he stayed more balanced and pumped his huge legs…..

@Crucial it used be his strength.
He has genuinely gotten worse with years of professional coaching

It’s weird. There’s hardly ever any knee lift. I do vaguely remember when he was younger that he would stride through contact a bit like Ardie. Now he looks like he has been trained by Owen Franks.
Is he too top heavy?
-
Maybe because steamrolling is his standard, but I would have Samisoni at 2, he made some great runs as usual, throwing was slightly off at times but he had a massive impact vs that Crusaders pack. Aumua was great coming on late as an impact and may well be an incredible sub with the new high paced tempo but Sami starts for me.

@chimoaus his lineout throwing fell apart for a while and it could have cost us

Aumua had a not straight as well but yes, was not the best functioning lineout.
