Unbelievable! Been many a year since I've used the words Steamers and clinical in the same sentence. Seriously impressive (apart from the scrum) against a superior team on paper. New recruits were outstanding

Oh what could have been. If we played with the acuracy we showed today, we'd be in the semis. Though another game where we leaked points in the last 20. Fitness needs to be looked at next year. Narawa looked great on the wing. Plenty of positives from the pack. We needed a better centre (shame Foketi was injured all season) this year. A new backs coach too. We were too predictable. Shame we didn't have Monty Ioane this year. He was electric. I'm still dumbfounded how he missed out on a super contract.

Tough one first up. Is Lats injured? I see Parete is at lock for Naki, seems they knew we would pick a short lock in Ardron. I'm glad we have some continuity in the backline. What's with Simmonson? Contracted this year and last, but yet to make a rep game.
I'm keen to see how our front row goes this year. Some super rugby experience, somewhat unexpected for Thwaites, who did well I thought. I've always rated Sakalia, but she always misses part of a season with injury. I thought he was out best in the front row.
Gutted to lose some experience with the locks, but Ardron seemed to find five gears in a Chiefs jersey after being stuck in two last year.
Backs, gutted Monty Ioane wasn't picked up for super rugby. He had gas. Something our backs have lacked. Is Isaac Te Aute still around? Fuatai?

Gutless shit from BoP. Lineouts still shit, getting the ball then kicking it. No fucking direction

Tits for hands and shit for brains

@Donsteppa

@cgrant he was a weapon last week. Ngani will test him this weekend

It's hard to know what's going on injury-wise. I'm glad Karpik is getting a break. Though it would be nice to know who is out of contention and when such players could return. Anyone know if the semifinal draw has been announced, e.g championship 1 vs championship 4 at..... time?

Maybe because we lost nearly all of our lineouts since the reserve hooked came on? Still, would have preferred that over a 50m kick

How many times has Steel dropped it tonight? 5 at least I reckon

@nakosi mate, the sun will still rise tomorrow. Have a good look at the draw, it's not too bad. If you're still down then go for bush walk or fishing, or just catch up with a mate or someting. You'll be OK
