A good idea to rest Jacobson now as I think he's played every minute so far.

Match thread
Chiefs
No Ioane or Reihana on bench and no sign of Moli. But good to rest SS and Luke. Can Samisoni and DMac play v Blues or not?

So we are not even calling them the "Bench" or "Reserves" anymore huh?
Naa I agree it's bullshit, they are reserves!!

I would be giving Samisoni a break this week, Thompson a pretty good replacement.

I count 13 missing - many of whom are starters.
Downside: It'll be a fucking slaughter
Upside: I get free beers at a function from 4PM before heading to the ground
Downside: I'll be heading to the ground with Chiefs fans
Upside: I get free entry and more free beer
Downside: so do the Chiefs fans
Upside: I was expecting a slaughter anyway

Moli seems injured all the time
Yeah, Moli has been a permanent food bill in recent seasons.
He injured his right shoulder in the last pre-season game, but there hasn't been any recent injury updates.

At least it's not "Starters" and "Finishers" Ffs sounds like a bloody dinner.
Serious question, is Hooper still international quality? Since he had his mental health issues last year he just hasn’t looked like the same player.
He’s a top bloke so I hope he can get back to his lofty standards, however he has some way to go on form.

Horrible start by the Tahs.
School boys make less errors than these Tahs.
