JB is leading the comp in try assists isn’t he?

Not sure, but I wouldn't hang my hat on that as his nod. Rieko did the same for the blues a couple of years ago and didn't exactly blow the doors off for the ABs - and that was being selected in a position he plays.

Fair. I’d like him on the bench at the very least

@antipodean nothing about Lam is AB material.

Yeah much prefer him there than his brother. Dmac at fullback even though he's playing awful, unless Harkin keeps tearing it up. The Jords on the bench.

The ABs have only got themselves to blame that Love hasn't been trialled more in the last year.

I'd even prefer Jordan there.

Nah, I'll blame Razor and David Brent

Fineanganofo is an absolute barnstormer right now. I don't remember him last season. I can't believe he's walking out the front door!

He was good last season but he was playing injured. He’s on fire now.

Sounds like Behree and Darry haven’t set the world alight?

Darry has been fine. Quiet night for Beehre.

Darry didn't step up at lineout time which was disappointing.

Too much focus on hair dyeing this week as opposed to the actual rugby stuff.

That must be it

Rather than one team being far stronger in the folllowing matchups....

Mafileo vs Matenga
Dearns vs Beehre
Roigard vs Christie
Lakai vs Wrampling
Flanders vs Clark
Fehi vs Vai
Prime Love vs over the hill Beauden

Think he's onto something. I'm sure I saw one or two players with their normal hair too, so obviously fractures in camp and zero commitment across the team.

Who said that Harkin lacked top speed ? The way he left Vai for dead for his first try shows he has some wheels. He's been great this season.

No one.

Support for Cameron Suofoa, ex-Blue and 27 year old terminal cancer sufferer. That's why the entire squad did it

Why else do you think Solomon and XTH are being held back? JJ's no slouch.

I was not aware of that. Apologies for my faux pas.

Apologies are all good, however I would make the point that the Canes match day squad are actually just better than what the Blues rolled out yesterday.

Better form, more All Blacks, and more experience.

The actual result I think is a fair representation of where the squads are at.

So far I'm happy with what this Blues squad have delivered this year and they've somewhat out performed my expectations after losing some key players to injuries and players who have moved on overseas.

The Blues form has been very strong but the Canes have been on fire.

The terminal cancer news would have certainly impacted some of the players emotionally but realistically the Canes at the moment are a better team.

The tournament at the moment is the Canes to lose.
