Akira back to shit without Hoskins
He’s put in his effort for the year. He can slack off and get back to his first love of eating for the rest of the season.

The Canes with more composure and more intensity. Blues will need to lift just to stay in this.

This is very exciting even game so far, but I fear Ben O'Keefe will find a way to screw the Canes in the second half.

Good on Laumape carving up, but annoying that the Blues haven’t made any progress in shutting this midfield threat down.

Blues backs are standing so deep and static. They’re taking the ball virtually standing still. They lost a heap of ground there.

Has he bulked up a bit this season? He always was a unit but looks a bit bigger still.

It’s not just Laumape playing well. Umaga-Jensen complimenting him well.

And conversion from B Barrett. 22-all.
The Blues forwards still going pretty well. Blues backline, as Scarface says, has been ponderous.

They’re massively deep but with very little momentum. Taking the ball flat footed and making it too easy for the Canes.
Now they’re sticking to tried and trusted rolling maul from a 5m line out. Try.

Cost. Why pay for additional stewarding, cleaning, etc. if it’s not needed.

Canes very much deserved winners tonight. The Blues forwards didn't take a backward step but the Blues backs were pedestrian, bumbling idiots.
The Canes have X factor in spades and it was well-harnessed tonight.
