Stoked for Penny
Quite the coaching Lazarus story isn't it?
-
I wonder if the Chiefs long bouts of passivity coincided with LJ's Knock because his fellow loosies didn't stand out for me (but I suspect Sititi had a decent tackle count, not sure about Finau).
-
@Mainlander Congratulations. Not seen you around these parts for a very long time. I hope you and family are doing well. Mainlander Jr must be all grown up.

That was a Good result...
I can Die happy, unless I'm still around this time next year in which case the Sadders will just have to do it again.Who let the new guy in….

@sparky Sititi carried pretty well in 2nd half. Alone amongst the Chiefs.
All Blacks should do better than 'pretty well' in a final. Vaa'i did better. Sititi's season has been a bit of a nothing burger. Second season curse?

Been around just not posting.
Had to get Dulith to reset my password/Email.. Thanks taniwharugby & Kirwin for their help there as well.
The Kids are all in their 30 now, all but one ownes their own houses and all are in long terem relationships, makes me feel old.
ACT Crusader if you have anything to do with ACT Ambulance anytime you maybe dealing with Muss Jr, the rest are in Melbourne were we live now.
I've done my Job, and the Crusadrers have won, so as I said I can die happy.
Oblique I know but my Cancer has returned... Doc said 6 months (over 6 months ago) to 3 years, so just taking every victory as they come, just need the AB's to step up now. -

@Chris congratulations fella enjoy it
Cheers Steve

@Mainlander Fuck, that last bit's absolutely shitty news. Thanks for popping back. I remember you being one of the funniest and sharpest posters on here in the mid-2000s.

Thoroughly enjoy this victory mate, a long with all the other Saders posters. And continue to try and beat the odds

@Canes4life Reihana looked destined for big things when he was at St Kentigern College but just went from one injury to another and then he did’nt see lot of game time at the Chiefs because of ongoing injuries it was ironic when Luke Jacobson congratulated Rivez on his motm performance there was almost lament he was a chiefs man
Hoping Rivez will be named in the NZ Māori squad 😉 -

Actually I sorta found it funny, much to the families discust/horror. They wont me to stop making jokes about it.
I feel it's what would have made me a good Cannes/Chiefs supporter. Humor in adversity
Ive had a resonably good life so no complants and it beats dimentia which every other elder male family member seems to have developed.
Although the Wife thinks I may have that as well. She's never worked out it's just because I don't listen to her. -

I think we've seen the end of calls for Stevenson to be an All Black based on that performance.
And Beaudy is now clear first choice 10.
I would still have DMac as first five. No his fault their front row wasn’t up to it.
I see those errors most weeks. The difference was the Crusaders set piece was so dominant the Chiefs didn’t have the attacking opportunities they usually do. Probably the missing thing in DMacs game was goal kicking - conversion wide out and a penalty from 45m. Small margins.
Will await to hear from any of the Ferners that were at the game, but I wonder what the conditions were doing with the kicking decisions. When the Saders turned down a couple of chances in the 2nd half and DMac had missed a couple in that first half, I just wonder if there was more to it.

Will that be the last game there? when do they get/goto the new stadium?

Last game ther they have said. The plan as I understand it is for the Crusaders to have home games in in Nelson and elsewhere in exchange for the Super Round when the Pavlova opens in April.

What are the plans for the current stadium, Coat it in Gold? The record they have there is impressive, new stadium will be a lets start again for records

Congratulations Saders fans, sounds like you guys deservedly won.
I didn't watch the game. Honestly speaking I just couldn't be bothered - the Chiefs already lost once this finals series and I lost interest then, I was pretty sure they'd lose tonight.
Instead, I spent the afternoon in the sea with my boy - he managed to get on his feet on his surfboard for the first time. Fantastic afternoon.
-
@Mainlander Nah we have also rolled the ole Lancaster Park/Jade/ Pounamu Stadium into the records, so the Pavlova gets added to Rugby League Park/No Heineken/Horncastle/Apollo's record.
Which is now sitting at 15.
