You can’t use the excuse of having no locks if your spend the whole season refusing to use them in the first place.

@jimmyb The blame lies squarely at the feet of the head coach. Buck stops there. He’s been in the job a year and a half now and we have gone NOWHERE.

People pouring out the ground early. Borderline toxic. I don’t enjoy watching this team.

I’m afraid he is stubborn and has his favourites and that is why he isnt the All Blacks coach

Thank you thank you thank you. The are so incredibly poorly coached. Jospeh is shit as I’ve said all season

that looked pretty innocuous to me......

Yeetyaah

Wonder if Renton cops a ban for that

JJ doesn't have the best cattle .. but I expect better of the team

Higgins

Dislocated shoulder is it?

Canes4life

Respect to Angus for getting up

Well when you have what ever cattle it is for two and a bit years, you expect them to get better, not worse

Joseph isn’t shit - but going backwards doesn’t work.

Angus you fluffy bunny ..glad you are ok . but far too long mucking around

jimmyb

@frugby we’ll disagree on that but the team is incredibly poorly coached. Can we agree on that?

Oh fuck off, now this week landers get penalised for jumping across, after last week's crusaders shenanigans

If your gonna gift a team like the Canes so much ball on the back of a poor lineout ,shaky scrum and turning the ball over when you are in possession this is what happens
Also just not enough depth with all their injuries not to mention losing Holland their lineout go to guy before the season even starts its gonna be long season for Landers fans
Also their 9 and 10 options are average

jimmyb

That was really good by Barrett, set that up over several phases

Yeetyaah

After dropping Fehi from the fantasy team the fluffybunny scores a hat trick

jimmyb

Barrett is giving TT a bit of a lesson how to play centre as opposed to human wrecking ba

At least you didn’t drop him for Moorby who’s on 3 points. 😂

Scrum aside.... the landers simply haven't competed and more concerningly don't seem that interested .. I'd only give Jack Taylor, and the props a pass

Canes4life

Lakai has been very good this half.

Definitely an 8 and not a 7

Bones

Picking the canes to win this.

This isn’t the gotcha moment you think it is.

It isn’t about being proven right you dingo.

Justin is suck a cock

Canes4life

Well played Lakai, very good performance. Such an athlete.

Don’t be so touchy and I don’t think anyone on this forum cares about whether others think they’re right. All I’m getting at is there needs to be more criticism laid at Joseph’s feet

Canes4life

Superb kick and that’s the 50. Love player of the match and makes a statement.

Lakai and Flanders are the two form loosies at the moment

With Kirifi at openside that should def be our starting loose trio. Hopefully Flanderesess stays injury free he's been unlucky in that sense.

Canes a pleasure to watch.

Some ok individual performances for the Landers but just completely outclassed.

Might need to take a seat next week after going off with concussion but probably also needs a break. I’d start Shields, Kirifi and Lakai.

Well played canes, Landers were bloody awful!

Nice to see Love go well.

Hard to see any positives for the Lanaders

Taavao had a really good (long) shift. JRK showed glimpses of his former self. Lennox showed urgency (just not the rest of the play to back it up).

Oh and Taylor if you ignore the ropey lineouts.

Really rated how love played his hand in that game. First 60 he barely carried and distributed well. Then once fatigue set in he brought his running game. Also rated how he went out to the touch line to redeem a few earlier kicks on that last con

Jack Taylor still looked bloody good in that game. Having a hell of a season so far

Hugh Renton blaming the referee… FMD.
