Webber too slow

Nice defensive bomb Weber...

Great half back kick. Well done clown.

@gunner

That’s an old Andy Ellis kick. Grrr

Fuck me. Dmac with a good clearance. They’ll lose possession but at least get some territory.

Weber should be beaten for that kick.

Messam back on the field.

@gt12 he had time for a cuppa and to get well set too, no excuses

Much better last 5 minutes from the Chiefs.

Chiefs get there through BBBR. Needed that.

Good kick DMac.

14-21 and it’s a game.

Geez. No defence.

Weber need to be fish hooked.

Loopy shit passing
Shit defensive bombs
Shit defensive chip kicks.

Shit we need Levu Aumua in midfield forget abot Fa'auli

Who was the imbecile that did the chip kick?

Weber - get off the field you muppet.

Weber with a custard-footed clearance.

Great counter, but fuck me Weber. another cute kick goes wrong. Shit defense too.

@antipodean Weber. He's having a shit game tonight.

Another fucking maul penalty. This is embarrassing.

@tim Yep, and Dmac, too. But Fa'auli is definitely the worst.

Not impressed by the pack either.

@stargazer Nothing looks good out there, that's for sure. Lack of speed on defence is baffling.

Blues must've really choked.

Weber should be pulled, he's almost made every play he's involved in worse, between his passing or his fucking inaccurate (or misguided) kicks.

Up front, I think we are what we are. There's no real help available, but in the backs, we must, surely, have anyone better than Fa'auli. Totally ineffective.

Dmac doesn't look very good, but he's been on clean up all night.

Bulls look good, but they've had plenty of help, 9 or 10 penalities? WTF?

@gt12 I think Cane is also totally lacking. He's the captain and should be a leader, and he isn't.

@antipodean Chips belong with fish IMHO

@stargazer

I agree, but he's working his ass off. He and BBBR are not really surrounded by any class. I'd be looking at some other 'leaders' to get involved, especially Weber, who is relatively senior, not that you'd know it. We miss TKB in games like this.

@gt12 Not sure whether Weber can be considered a senior player. He didn't play a single SR game last year. He's been with the squad in 2017, but that's all.

I do like the Bulls attacking structure. Lots of width. With Kriel straightening the attack.

What’s different is that they are actually playing with some endeavour.

Chiefs look better staying close to the ruck than going wide.

Cane looked prop-like pedestrian on that second Bulls try ....

@stargazer

He's an AB, the senior halfback, and has been a Chief since 2014.

But, he's from Hawkes bay, so why am I not surprised to see you white knighting him.

@gt12 I'm not, I agree he's having a mare tonight. He just hasn't played a lot the last 13 months.

Looks like we got our answer BBBR with the bit between his teeth

Yes, Brown gets the try! Great work from the pack there.

Amazing what the forward pack can do when they deny their halfback the opportunity to touch the ball.

Now, DO NOT LET WEBER make a clearance kick from the kick off

Give me bloody 8 BBBR's and we'll be rocking

@stargazer

Yep, but it’s the decisions and the execution that are miles away. I can forgive execution, but as the guy who must be in charge of driving things around, he should at least make better decisions.

Umm, ref, player is held?

@shadowtrooper And a winger that knows not to run at the sideline but back infield.

A ref that knows what a tackled player is.

7 shades of averageness on the Chiefs bench. Be afraid.

Although Allardice is on, which is probably good.

Who did go off for MMac? Falcon and Dmac are still on the field.

Fuck me. Chiefs advance and it’s another fucking penalty.
