Interesting comment from Parsons:
"The mindset for us is exactly that; it's all about us," veteran hooker James Parsons said. "We maybe looked at the Sharks too deeply and got away from our game. As [coach] Tana [Umaga] alluded to, it's on us to be confident and stick to our game plan."
That would explain (aside from inexperience) why the team looked nervous and failed to execute a gameplan in the 1st half.
Strange feeling going into this game. I'm still shocked with Michael Tamoaieta's passing tbh to the point where I don't really seem to care about tomorrow's result.
Lavanini getting a card; no surprises there. He must be one of the most carded players in SR.

The Blues have held up the Jags on a few occasions and this joke of a ref keeps on calling it a tackle.
If the tackled player is held up and one of his team-mates joins in the tackle - then surely at that moment it becomes a maul and if the ref hasn't called for the tackler to release, then at that point it should be too late - the maul is formed.
The organisation from that defensive area was nothing short of a disgrace ,for Talea to end with a clearing kick looked like something I would do in my backyard just makes you shake your head..unfortunately all this from a dumb Papali’i late tackle on halfway..all this against a 14 man outfit ..!
Papalii discipline is becoming an issue. You can take the boy out of league...
Definitely not missing Collins. Nanai again outstanding.
Faiane making a better fist of 13 this week.
Rieko and Tuipulotu playing very well.
Enjoyable game.
The good - some of the short passing close to the ruck. The strike runners are looking dangerous.
The bad - too many loose carries, some aimless/poor kicking from hand, people being driven into touch - soft turnovers.
The worst - no sign yet of an effective lineout drive.

Yes but affirmative action referee.
comms saying Telea wasnt expecting the ball for the kick, he looked like he was expecting it, was just a poor kick.

Every game he gives away dumb penalties. The coaches need to have a word with him.
@Stargazer isnt really a huge surprise TBH.
@antipodean Slap down is okay; knock on should be penalised.
