Have been keeping an eye after he was talked up last week and he's been pretty sloppy so far at the breakdown.

1 early knock on and 2 fumbles since, both of which he got away with.Gumboot wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:37 amNo he hasn't.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:35 amHave been keeping an eye after he was talked up last week and he's been pretty sloppy so far at the breakdown.

Was just thinking he really is pretty sh*t and then he does that!
Not his best game so far, but I reckon he'll be a very good test player before much longer.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:41 am1 early knock on and 2 fumbles since, both of which he got away with.Gumboot wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:37 amNo he hasn't.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:35 am

Has a nice, sharp pass and he's a mile ahead of Christie.Gumboot wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:46 am

Agree with this, Christie is just as rough without the sharp passTorquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:49 amHas a nice, sharp pass and he's a mile ahead of Christie.Gumboot wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:46 am

Weber and Perenara too, for mine. He and Fakatava will hopefully be second and third in the pecking order come September.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:49 amHas a nice, sharp pass and he's a mile ahead of Christie.Gumboot wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:46 am

Perofeta at FB is a mistake. For me, he's never looked good there.
I would start him at 10 every game.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:14 am Perofeta at FB is a mistake. For me, he's never looked good there.

How was that not a dangerous cleanout by the Canes?
{EDIT} TMO spots what Berry is blind to.
{EDIT2} Not a yellow.

Especially when the option in the Blues is BB and the All Blacks desperately need to develop some new first fives for 2024 onwardsTorquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:19 amI'm with you on that.Kiwias wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:19 amI would start him at 10 every game.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:14 am Perofeta at FB is a mistake.

Someone tell Ntamack thatKiwias wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:27 am As a long-serving forward, I get furious when the piggies have worked hard to affect a turnover only for the 9 or 10 so hoof it down the field, giving possession straight back to the oppo.

Blues lineout is a shambles and it's killing them along with BB's kicking.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?
Canes ahead 17-12 at HT. Some sloppy handling by the home team is bringing far too many attacking chances to a grinding halt. On the bright side, the Canes front row has been very good indeed. Great to see Aumua in career best form. Naholo reminds me of a younger Caleb Clarke.

That was the only way either side looked like scoring.
