Complete disgrace

How long does cooper still have left in his contract?

antipodean

I'm finding it difficult to recall a worse half performance when it comes to the lineout. A complete inability to retain possession results in substandard players trying too hard with inevitable consequences.

Why are we so bad? We’re only missing Moli, Harris, Laulala, Ardron, Jacobson, cane, Lienert brown, Manu and Alaimalo!

Actually, a good point, except, these have been replaced by:

An up and comer who some say will be an AB, good point, An AB, both first choice locks are both playing, Seu is first choice, midfield they should have selected better, and wingers they should have selected better.

Our injury list this time last year was longer than the list of fit players... not sure what they've done over summer, but perhaps a KFC has opened at Ruakura.

Just saw a score update of 23-3 and what the fucking fuck.

I'm concerned also about BBBR's form. Don't know if he's still carrying an injury, but jeez he looks well off the pace.

eh, tight forwards coming baack from a layoff. Wait three weeks, then we get nervous

@Yeahtheboys said in Chiefs vs Sunwolves:

Aswell as Shaun Stevenson being contender for worst player of super rugby so far

Yep. I was hoping that he'd turn up as quality after being rocks and diamonds for a while, but he should be moving back to 14, if that, as soon as Alaimalo comes back.

coaching

Jason Emery, Michael Little, Jamie Henry, Hayden Parker, Uwe Helu, Luke Thompson, Pauliasi Manu

Reserves: Nathan Vella, Sam Prattley, Tom Rowe, Jamie Booth, Phil Burleigh,

With all these players being kiwi what does that tell us about player drain or recruitment?
Liitle, Parker and Helu are owning Chiefs. sign them up!

Canerbry

Fucking useless kiwi teams ruining my tipping.

@ShadowTrooper He doesn't look off the place he looks like he is playing for the Chiefs! put him in another franchise and he might look different.

Additionally: Doesn't have anyone helping him ATM so will suffer from overload

ShadowTrooper

@Donsteppa Ha - put the team in there as well

gt12

I love it that the coaches message was hold the ball and the first thing they do is drop it.

ShadowTrooper

Well I can comfortably say none of these look AB quality so far

NTA

Interesting to see if the Chiefs have a burst after halftime like they did against the Ponies and then run out of puff

Be thankful you're not watching it

NTA

@mariner4life @Mokey it's good rugby if you're capable of watching your team look soft as shit.

ShadowTrooper

How about scoring a try you fluffybunnies

Donsteppa

Right, several more of those and the fire brigade might get near the dumpster fire.

ShadowTrooper

Nankivell desrves that, best Chief by far tonight

broughie

First thing McKenzie has done right all night.

Really shows that the Brumbies victory not that meaningful, this shit pile of a season start for the Chiefs

broughie

Other than being a terrier and fit, what does Karpik offer?

antipodean

Booth you spastic. A hundred teammates back in support and you aimlessly hoof it midfield.

gt12

So, it looks like it's a return to the dark years for us.
It was fun, while it lasted.

Did Shaun Stevenson win a #15 jersey somehow?

Shaun Stevenson is still up for worst player of super rugby so far right?

Classic Stevenson. Too cool to try and catch it, too cool to try and tidy the error.

Yep, shit hands, shit work ethic summed up by that play.
