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.

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.

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.

Anyone in Uk watching on Sky? I tried Sky Go and when I click on game 7s comes up.

Patience’s rewarded..

Clearly held up.

Patrick is still out there. 2mins past his expected subbing

didnt the Sunwolves get a try in similar circumstances last night?

fark, patience and accuracy and they'd be sweet

Nonu is really disappointing thus far. Not just in this game.

@Stargazer isnt really a huge surprise TBH.

Now is that not a YC? Clear slap down in his own 22.

Real lack of variety attack,why not just range Akira a little bit wider as either carrier or a decoy...

@antipodean Slap down is okay; knock on should be penalised.

what?

Patrick gone now. Looks like we squeezed an extra 8mins past the AB restrictions

Pulu’s high kick game is bloody awful

Great cover from Plummer.

that should be a penalty.

Are we sure that Tana is no longer the head coach?

hate when a ref calls leave it 5, 5 plays at ball for further few seconds, ref ignores...

possible early tackle by a Blue player there

3 of the best attacking positions in the game,with an opportunity to build pressure patiently ..and none those opportunities converted..with poor handling or Activation letting them down ..As Willie Lose said..you would think they just came together this week not before Xmas.

Another stupid pass to no one. Blues need to start recruiting smarter athletes.

Great try from Moyano; classy player.

Fuck that could be the game there now that we have to score a try.

Blues defence down the left is shocking

We are playing too conservative, it’s making defence far too easy. Need to get a bit wider.

2 opportunities given,2 opportunities taken from the hosts can’t fault the effort..but for the lack of smarts is just a continuation of what is some much is wrong with this team..

Well it wouldn’t be a Blues game without giving up a maul try

Oh, how convenient no more try reviews.

that try is an embarrassment.

No vision? This is bullshit.

Given Leon was brought in to work with the backs 240 minutes absolutely bereft of any attacking enterprise is hardly a forward step - especially against defences still piecing it together in the early rounds.

Early days, overseas trip, emotional situation but geez there isn’t even a breadcrumb to go off on attack with this side.

WTF

so any game replay will miss the try?

Haha being a Blues fan.

Either the team plays shit and they get spanked.

Or they play well but can't clinch it.

Lol.

Come on, ten mins to save this mess.

@rotated I think it's a player issue. They're just fucking stupid.
