            We’re playing like we THINK we’re a team of world beaters, throwing 50/50 passes all over the place

                  Very soft tackle attempts in that movement

                    Two tries let in by Boult.

                    Or not - foot in touch.

                    Going to be a long day if the Turbos forwards continue to be abjectly shit.

                      @antipodean and tackling going optional.

                      Smith needs to give them a kick up the arse

                        Good refereeing - must be on your feet to play the game.

                          The run up to the disallowed try by koroi was a thing of beauty

                              Think booth has forgotten which position he’s playing...being around and standing behind smith

                                  i'm feeling pretty smug, the Koroi at full back and collins in the midfield just worked SO much better, still lots to work on, like plays for 80 mins...but collins just works a lot better playing off other people's shoulders where as baring one or two limp kick returns by Koroi he can operate on him own a lot better

                                    Collins needs to stay in the midfield all season I reckon. Going forward it should be where he plays for the Highlanders as well.

                                        @ACT-Crusader he's just one of those players that operates better with less time and space... instincts better than his planning!

                                          also just doesn't the wheels...running off someone shoulder for sprint to the line? perfect...covering a whole backfield?...no

                                          this was promising,

                                          *“I’ve enjoyed centre, at the back of the Highlanders season, playing a few games and getting used to it,” Collins said.

                                          “The risk is, if you are shifting every couple of weeks, you start losing the finer touches which take a couple of weeks to get used to.

                                          “I’m pretty happy to play at centre for a wee while.”*
