Fraser McReight is a damn good player. Just watching how active he is on both sides of the ball.

Would love a McReight cam

Landers92

Williams does not look good. As an AB fan, please take him off.

The more I watch Tate, the higher I consider the chances of Lions success if he's starting.

A good runner of the ball but that's basically it. There's a reason why he's never locked down the 9 jersey for Australia... There must be better options for the bench still.

Good communication though.

Awful to watch. Get a roof already Canterbury.

@Landers92 💯 just aggravating it even more

taniwharugby

Haha how was that a tough penalty on the reds

Tate literally on his knees and arms... and that's a "tough penalty" .....comical stuff

Landers92

Get ‘Tamarty’ off ffs

Canes4life

lol classic commentary ‘seems to have recovered from that knee injury’ as Tamaiti proceeds to limp and grimace his was back to halfway.

KiwiMurph

This Reds attack is garbage

Darth Sader

Anyone catch why Rimez is off?

Bones

I still maintain Hotham is young Perenara.

Unfortunately, yes. He needs to go away and watch some old Aaron Smith clips. Do the core stuff well first eg good service. And cut out the Justin Marshall step-then-pass.

Landers92

Williams could of went off 10mins ago and been a lot better off… silly stuff

Has his upsides, young Perenara was a great difference maker until he learnt to fly. Powerful pass that's on song occasionally. Dynamic, strong player into everything.

Havili kicking well

antipodean

Blackadder should concentrate on his undoubted strength - defensive input - as his carrying isn't the most effective.

I feel like Perenara started off with a hiss and a roar and got worse with age. Hotham is playing like Perenara late in his career, not who you want in the ABs.

Oh he has potential for sure! Just needs to work on the fundamentals first.

Really liking what I've seen of Ennor since his return. Tough to say

I'd have him over Christie in the Abs squad

Williams has some incredible skill for a prop 20-25 metre left to right pass
There’s some backs around that struggle to do that

Havili and Ennor in the AB midfield you reckon?

Mr Fish

Just quietly, Blackadder and Havili have both played very well.

I'd have Helen Keller over Christie.

Nice pressure Reds

taniwharugby

Are you allowed to "tackle" a player on the deck now?

Landers92

Best passage of play reds have had. They need points here

antipodean

@taniwharugby said in QF Crusaders v Reds:

Just flop on top, no release and get back to your feet

I expect Turunui is fuming.

Landers92

Did Jordan release him there or am I blind?
