No Jake Gordon or Gamble for Tahs

Tahs having played in Perth last week

Blues coming off of a bye

Whilst Blues have been poor this year they should still be able to beat the Tahs given the advantages above

@KiwiMurph you'd hope for 5 points

Where are Foketi and Leota too? Odd selection by Waratahs. They might get flogged.

Both injured too

I'm not sure about a flogging - Tahs can make the playoffs with a win and the Blues are both boring and mud.

Be nice regardless of whether we make it or not, to send some departing long servants of the side out as winners in their last home game.

Stephen Perofeta (leg)

How many games has he played in this season? Feel like I’ve hardly seen him out there.

5 games, 3 starts

Injured for the first month. Played 4 games in a row and has had a niggly injury ever since

Christie ...

@gt12 here it is

Oh come on Rieko.

@booboo

Cheers.
@Duluth sorry

Glad he called that - the Tahs have been offside for almost every ruck

Christie gives it away as type

Fuck, how far in field does.Riccitelli want to stand

Christie confirming his place for the test series - on the sofa

Jesus Rieko where is the pace?

Fuck that took some scoring

@gt12 said in Blues vs Waratahs 2025:

Jesus Rieko where is the pace?

Yeah. The fuck?

Rieko is as slow as Owen Franks these days.

I don't care how good you are on defence, being an absurd attacking liability really counts against you.

Made hard work of it, but got there...Lam started well.

He's forgotten how to score

@booboo

That did not look like a player who should be on the wing

Christie is so shit.

Notable that blues attack works when Christie and Ioane are absent from it.

Yep, constantly offside.

At the game Lam the best of the Blues in the first 15 minutes
Christie is very hesitant

Barrett's kicking from hand is utterly appalling.

Gleason gets talked up but is absolutely shithouse.

Fusitua not helping his chances with that ridiculous pass

Poor comms between BB and Telea

Talea had to let that go wide.

Handling is awful. Must be wetter than it looks

The game management from Christie and BB is absolutely shite house. Evans offers nothing in terms of game management.

@brodean even more obvious seeing it live

Forwards walk through offside at rucks and get a warning. So frustrating.

Think that will be brought back

Why?
