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

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

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

The hatred is strong with this one

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.

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

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.

@Jnr said in Blues v Reds:

Did someone say that?

@Tim said in Blues v Reds:

Then a kick out on the full

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

Was an awful error. Changed the game entirely.

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.

Segner is not having a good night

Christy is just such a gimp

Christe you absolute melt

@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Reds:

Sorry, finally succumbed and selected him in FR.

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

Blues jersey is neat.

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

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

That brilliant experience to know the reds player was going to knock it on and not ground it. Learn from that kids

Segner!

Segner would be an incredible 7

Don't post this sort of shit when I'm eating my cornflakes. Now I have to clean the carpet again.

Another garbage beauden punt

How about that experience to pop gun it down Daugunu's throat, who returns it back to where it was kicked from.

Was the last pass in a try earlier though, single handedly winning games, beautiful to see.

Excellent clear Finlay

The halftime instruction is kick for space and BB just kicks it down the Reds’ throats every bloody time

At this stage do we need the words like, .. garbage, terrible etc.... I think its safe to say if BB kicks it ... its shite... or at the very least the wrong option

Lovely move

Great move. Equally great defense

That's the Forbes I know! Basically bundles himself into touch

Lovely maul, reckon BB was probably watching and breathed in that direction. Amazing talent.

Get perofeta on ffs

It’s also the league style passing that has absolutely no benefit whatsoever

BB looking to create something here.... doesn't touch it for over half a dozen phases.

BB with the assist, kicked it to touch and got within a few metres of the 5m.

Hahaha dear god

Best Blues game Pita Ahki has played

He was excellent
