Lovely Hotham. That’s the game.

@Landers92 when the opposition is void of ideas that helps also why kick all your ball away
Reds have been a massive disappointment
Abysmal defending by whichever Reds players had hands on Hotham and didn't bring him to ground for some reason? Hotham should never have been in a position to chase his own kick.
Has there ever been a less intimidating All Black trio I injected from the bench than George Bell, Cullen Grace and Dallas McLeod?

Yeah I think it’s a bit of both. Gotta give the Crusaders credit for making the reds look so average
@Darth-Sader not even close and I’m from Northland

Perenara to a tee.
The initial support play close in and then the fortuitous kick and chase. We’ve seen it a thousand times by TJP.

I must admit I haven’t seen a lot, but he kicks well, runs well, distributes well, seems to have composure… where does he fall down for you?
@Darth-Sader said in QF Crusaders v Reds:
I like the look of Reihana. Where do we rate him in the AB pecking order?
Ask again next year I reckon. Looks to have all the tools, attitude and mentality.
@Steven-Harris definitely playing with more confidence than I've seen, gotta be a shout for the Maori.
@Darth-Sader composure! That's the word I was looking for.

Needs to do it against better teams in bigger games. Huge improvement this year.
@antipodean sadly just another quality medium sized loosie we seem flush with....
I'd be surprised if Reihana doesn't join the squad on the EOYT.
Imagine he'll be entrenched at 10 for the Maori in July.
@Darth-Sader can get rattled at times defends high kicks in the middle 3rd of the field it’s still a weakness,
If he has full season in the 10 jersey and displays consistency by all means

Reds are hopeless outside of Brizzy.
2nd year in a row Les Kiss' Reds have offered nothing in the playoffs
@antipodean said in QF Crusaders v Reds:
Perhaps Kiss isn't that great a coach?
Maybe. Or its the same story of the available players we have simply not being capable of high level Rugby due to our shit systems.

Looking forward to the full-time interview where Johnson asks how the last 40 of their season was.

Razor is about innovation. EB is consistently innovating on how to not play.
