Super Rugby R1 Kneejerk Reaction Thread

Blues. Rieko still a cock celebrating too much and Akira is so fat and lazy that he couldn't even be bothered taking the field. Four new NZ stars identified, all of which were at some point discarded by the Blues. They really have knack for identifying shit-house first fives. The franchise where coaches' careers go to die.
Saders. Six half ass average players transformed to AB level. All of whom came from outside of Canterbury, with 5 being from the Auckland area.
Highlanders. Gutsy but not good enough.
Canes. Shit without BB and TJP unsuccessfully trying to win games by himself. Despite having some huge Polynesian forwards, inexplicably, they are somehow soft as shit.'
Chiefs. Gatland letting the hometown hicks off the leash and they won well because if you live in Hamilton, rugby is all you have to live for.

Ashamed to say I didn't stay up for the Canes but happy I didn't.
Ashamed to say I did, although TBF I had just arrived home from a BBQ/birthday/house warming party, and wasn't quite ready for sleep.
@raznomore said in Super Rugby R1 Kneejerk Reaction Thread:
Didn't watch any other games as it was hot as shit this weekend and being outside in the pool with a beer seemed infinitely better than inside on the couch. Even with the aircon blasting.
What kind of Queenslander are you that you don't have a TV by the pool?
Also, first week in Rieko scores two tries in a shit team and half the internet complains that he celebrates.
-
@Snowy everyone keeps laughing and pointing at the Highlanders and I really don't get it. We can certainly put out a better side than the Canes did and the Blues are cursed.
Highlanders to be there or thereabouts come finals time and provide 3-4 new ABs. Gaan Brownie!

Highlanders are the anti-Blues - classy halves but lacking a bit with the rest.
I think what you mean to say is Collins will be one of the form NZ fullbacks up to the international break.

The Canes have a made a habit of getting touched up early in the season and then coming right. That won't happen this year. We're toast without Beauden, going to be a long season alright.
-
After watching the game on the weekend, I'm thinking of starting a rumour the Canes management are so desperate they're even scouting for players in the Gallagher English Premiership.
Of course, they'd have to be as Kiwi as Lemon and Paeroa.....

@Victor-Meldrew I can't figure out if that's a pisstake or an extremely cryptic hint.

Def. a pisstake.
If S15 players like Willi Heinz can make the England team then the Canes would need to be really, seriously desperate to scout the English Leagues

TBH we're missing Ardie more, he was best player in NZ SR and ABs last season
-
In 2021 Hammett will return to the Canes and sack TJP and Ardie. The result will be very good training but a four year plan to return to being contenders.
NZR will realise that the BB to the Blues experiment backfired badly now Cruden has returned to the first choice AB 10 and will use their new sponsorship deal with Boeing to lease him a private jet to attend training in Dunedin alongside TJP. -

I don't know what game you were watching but I don't think we even had a polynesian forward starting in that game? Unless Riccitelli, Armstrong, Blackwell, Prinsep, Scrafton, Evans meet your definition of a polynesian?

@Nepia ha I have a couple mates that have TVs by the pool but that’ll never be a thing for me. If I’m in the pool then the boy is in the pool and that means manu’s.
you are missing out on one of life's great pleasures
