Um what? You're OK to lose as long as we get through unscathed? Let's just go out there and play touch.

Don't mind the late change. IMO, this is our best side 6-17 ( aside from Welch to start and Tui on bench for Lewis).

There’s one of those kicks we have so much trouble with.

Ieremia dishes up steaming piles of dog sh*t week after week. I know, let’s keep him in first grade!

Dunno if I’m being picky, but Kenny has been slowly regressing I feel

Can’t work out why he never realises that if you give your opposite number room on the outside they’re going to eventually step back in and beat you. He’s been pretty fortunate so far with Staggs.


This is by far the leakiest defence we’ve have for some time.

We’re relying so much on the spine to pull magic out of their arses. The forwards continue to be very bleh outside of Nelson.

Harry’s passing has been average at best tonight. Not much zip to them and a ton off target.

I'm not mad with our side defence. Allowing meters while we get numbers around them.

I feel the performance tonight is quite average, we aren't playing poorly just some opportunities gone missing and pressure relieved by errors. I think the conditions are not helping Hughes or Munster. I'd have loved more of NAS especially against Haas.

Cheese should finish the game strong, hopefully he is back on soon.

Bellamy has used both NAS and Smith odd tonight.

Seve's chase on Ezra Man, although he didn't get there in time, was extremely pleasing to see. Chased from the right wing to the left. Seve has had two good games running, good on him.
