I like the look of Reihana. Where do we rate him in the AB pecking order?

Has there ever been a less intimidating All Black trio I injected from the bench than George Bell, Cullen Grace and Dallas McLeod?

@Steven-Harris said in QF Crusaders v Reds:

@Landers92 when the opposition is void of ideas that helps also why kick all your ball away
Reds have been a massive disappointment

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

@Bones said in QF Crusaders v Reds:

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?

Perhaps Kiss isn't that great a coach?

@Darth-Sader said in QF Crusaders v Reds:

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.

@Darth-Sader said in QF Crusaders v Reds:

Needs to do it against better teams in bigger games. Huge improvement this year.

Reds are hopeless outside of Brizzy.

Lio-Willie is having a very good game too - both sides of the ball.

@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

2nd year in a row Les Kiss' Reds have offered nothing in the playoffs

@antipodean said in QF Crusaders v Reds:

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.

Haha that’s quality.

That’s an old fashioned coat hanger that. Jesus

Like others, i had expected more from the Reds... but early scrum pressure and resulting pens really put them on the back foot...

Did not see any mitigation

That's not even going to be a red.

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

Nah i don't think so , he pulled out of it so to speak .... reactionary to some extent but still just so unnecessary ..

I love EB’s spirit, but please nowhere near the ABs

Dallas will be an AB after that steal.

Reds building momentum for next week....

Yes

If the Saders are a chance in this comp, this is how they’ll win it. Tight attack with the odd flourish, defensive dominance and strangling the life out of the opposition. Limited game plan, but effective when it works
