2 try assists to Barrett putting Zarn in space.

Can't remember who was saying that's something he cant do.

Can't and doesn't are two different things.

Based on today, can and does

KiwiMurph

For what it's worth

That rule sucks

If you charge down from the field of play and it goes dead you should get more reward

KiwiMurph

Nice scrum Ake

jimmyb

Why did Beuden go on the outside there?

antipodean

Fucking Christie again.

KiwiMurph

Zarn risk reward was off earlier

Up 14 there wasnt a need to try a low percentage kick

jimmyb

Aki is pretty solid in defence

KiwiMurph

Blues are in big trouble in this game

They really struggle with Reds style

Blues always look so much better with Funaki at 9

Based on last week, can't and doesn't. Fun game to play that one.

Bones

Pretty good from the broncos

Bones

Oh Patty! Out the back door would've been beautiful.

KiwiMurph

How do players so often go the wrong way when they make a break

African Monkey

Good half that.

KiwiMurph

Werchon vs Funaki should be good off of the bench

Ummm.......did you miss where he skinned Taele and put Forbes in?

The hatred is strong with this one

How many times are you going to bring up one example that Simon Hickey could have executed?

Tim

Then a kick out on the full

He probably shouldn't be skinning his own players.

No hatred, just no fanboi-ing. Imagine a world where it's a phenomenal achievement for an apparently world class ten to get the odd assist. As long as we ignore all the other rubbish, he's on song for WR POTY again I reckon.

In saying that, a lot more involved in this top of the table match. Good to see.

3 in the last two games is factual. And it's directly in response to the absolutist language of "never" and " doesnt".

How many times are you guys going to bring up perceived issues from years past that may or may not have even happened depending on whether people like him or not.

Did someone say that?

@Tim said in Blues v Reds:

This is the type of stuff that will keep Zarn out of higher honours

Was an awful error. Changed the game entirely.

Bones

Just saw the replay of BB "putting Zarn in". Amazing ability to pass right to left like a back and nothing at all to do with Zarn's footwork and strength in the tackle. Go away Zarn you pretender.

I'm the first to admit he's been gunshy taking on the line since his concussion. And the ABs game plan of dinky kicks was an appalling waste of all our 10s talents.

I think he's worth a squad pick for experience but for big games he's better than Dmac. Love has potential, as does Harkin, but we'll be hoping RMo is better this time round.

It'll all come down to Rennie's gameplan. If he can't execute that then sayonara.

2024 End of Year tour would disagree with you

DMac was sublime vs Ireland

Beauden was mediocre vs England and France. The only reason we beat England is Telea got subbed on for Beauden (and then George Ford shat the bed)

Big game opposition grinning with pleasure at a stunted ABs. Fair play if you enjoy watching that shit show, I wouldn't.

That was DMacs one good game. One. BB was Motm in multiple that year and single handedly responsible for at least two wins.

Is he peak BB? No. Do I wish we had better? Yes. But I don't think Dmac is the answer. BB is better, more consistently until we find the next 10.

Ideally that would have happened 1-2 years ago but it is what it is now.

Fuck! You had me going for a bit, I thought you were serious. Thank goodness.

Christy is just such a gimp

KiwiMurph

Christe you absolute melt

Sorry, finally succumbed and selected him in FR.

Went with Sotutu as well, hence PT not passing to him.

Bones

Blues jersey is neat.

KiwiMurph

Those Zarn errors creeping in

You cant be doing that

Why are The Blues obsessed with caterpillar rucks?

Since they were talking 2024, for those with short memories England at Eden Park and effectively the reason we won both games.

DMac was poor. Extremely so.

@His-Bobness said in Blues v Reds:

Because they have a 10 who cant punt for distance so they need to kick from 9

Did you see that from Barrett? That was pretttyyyy good

Crazy Horse

BB is like the batsman that keeps finding the field. He knack is uncanny.
