So as I say Big Sam W get's it
Couple of big steals at LO time by Sammy, but overall I thought Barrett was huge and they could’ve given it to him.

And by the way, I don't think it was a red card, I sick of people trying to get red cards, I look at why they shouldn't be.
Every contact sport has big problems with concussion. Repeated concussions has severe impacts on players. It has to be taken seriously. That means the tackler has to bend at the hips and drive shoulder at lower lower chest and below. Without these rules the game leaves itself open to big claims and loss of public support.

Think Barrett spoke very well and I feel his performance tonight will probably have him staring in the black #6 in a few weeks With BR and SW in the engine room.

Trying to be balanced here. By any fair minded measure if Saders awarded the last try in first half the Narawa try from lineout ought to have stood.
Does anyone here seriously want to argue that the Saders would have come back from 15-27 down?
The jesters are welcome to wear their phony crowns, but I celebrate the Chiefs as the best Super Pacific team of 2023.

@Mattasaurus they all played well. BBBR got a bit lippy with Ref though.

How good was Tamaiti Williams? Incredible.
I’ll be interested to see what the AB coaches do with him and what size he ultimately settles with.
I thought he had a very good game but that last 5-7 minutes before being subbed he looked to be really sucking in the big ones and laboured a little.

@ACT-Crusader was up a level in intensity that game, more akin to a test that he likely hasnt experienced, let alone for 65 mins, reckon he'd be a good un for the final quarter in black.

Understandable that he flagged in the last few minutes given he played 70 minutes at 144kg and at that pace/intensity.

@taniwharugby definitely. A good test for the young fella. I’m quietly excited about what he might bring to the test arena.
