Highlanders v Reds

[frugby]

A big change I'd like us to revert to, is kicking more off 9 this week. I thought last week, our kicking game was the worst it has been all season. Need to use Hastie's big left boot.

[Landers92]

@frugby I think it was pretty fair to put the boot away a bit last week against the canes, why would you continually kick it to the likes of Love and Naholo?

I agree with you to a point though, this week is a different story against the Reds, I wouldn’t consider them as sharp on the counter, still a dangerous side though. Use Hasties boot and take some pressure off Taine. With Jim chasing down the sideline this week, expect a fair bit of that with the idea him beinh the first arriving player over the ball/counter rucking.

Hope Vikena has a big game lol didn't know which other hooker to pick in super fantasy this week

I think you'd back Hastie's boot to kick it long enough, and for us to defend well enough to take it out the equation. Could have also tested Naholo under the high ball against Tangitau.

Kicking off soon

good start boys!

[Duluth]

Thomas is too good to be sitting on the bench most weeks

[Mattasaurus]

well taken try, however we need to be better than that ----

[Canes4life]

Two poor reads from Hurley so far.

[Duluth]

Thomas again. Blues should sign him.. he looked good for Auckland a couple of years ago

[akan004]

Poor tackling from the Highlanders

[Canes4life]

Highlanders look well off the pace atm.

[Mattasaurus]

Landers started strong, but look rattled at the moment. Need to get the dominance back in the contacts

[Landers92]

What’s the ref doing? Blood bins like that have always been taken the sideline ffs

[Bones]

Vikena can take a seat.

[Landers92]

Jesus Christ, good for the first 2mins but been awful since that Vikena knock on… boys look half asleep

Bit puzzled why there was no replay of the Tangitau near try. Did it bounce out?

Landed on the touchline I think and bounced back in.

@Bones line official said he stepped out

Or that, they didn’t show a replay. A little weird.
