Listened John Hart on radio sport this morning,one thing that he said which I said from the time this squad was announced in November 2017 it was easily the weakest of the 5 squads based on the limited amount of movement of the other four franchises.
I've been saying this for ages, we always have one shit squad, it's often been the Chiefs in the past, the Highlanders in more recent years, and the Blues for the past few years.
However, I also said at the start of this season that I expected to see improvement (even if they don't magically make the finals) and that clearly isn't happening.
Really shitty weather. This could be a tiny crowd.
Anyone bold enough to make a match prediction? Not me. I honestly would not be surprised if either team thrashed the other one.
@duluth You should definitely get down to the TAB then, because the Jags are paying $3.15! 
Blues are paying $1.35.
I should as well, because I'm not sure about this one either, but I tend to think the Jaguares look a better team on paper and they're on a bit of a roll. But they're on the road and at Eden Park....

My thoughts exactly. Even the points start at Blues +8.5 is pretty good value.
@Chris-B @Milk
I agree the Blues are favourites.
Of course the Blues have been bookies favourites in 3 games this year where they've gone on to spectacularly shit the bed. Neither of these teams are reliable
On that 8.5 point head start. There's a lot of wind out there and there's more rain expected. So that's a higher line than it appears
Ahh crap, TJ is back commentating.
Rain and wind have been awful today. Conditions will be shit.

Fuck, does nothing on my fox remote :frowning_face:
@donsteppa said in Blues v Jaguares:
Ali Williams did a good job of defending supercoach in the build up...
And was rightly mocked for it.
Pryor lucky not to be pinged for not letting him up on the chase, but PArsons gets pinged anyway

Blues must be careful now
But this is the Blues
Utterly predictable
What really fucks me off is refs telling the players defending a maul they have to get out of it if they end up anywhere near the ball 9 times out of 10 even if they’ve got there legally.
GCT had every right to be where he was and could have changed the outcome of that try.
Blues hit back

Better than watching this shower of shite
Much better. Competed at the lineout and defended the maul.
Have lost the ref already. Parasols needs to back off.
What is it with Auckland based footy teams that makes them give away so many stupid bloody penalties?
Really, come on, how dumb do you have to be to keep doing the same dumb shit?

Spellcheck or deliberate?
@nepia said in Blues v Jaguares:
Might be the start of a form turnaround by Duffie?
Two weeks of decent form so far, and in the position I’ve wanted to see him at for two years now.
