Sititi has definitely slimmed down from last year.

@Bones hadn't they asked him to bulk up after his breakout season?

Probably also asked him to bark. I wouldn't be surprised.

Chiefs starting the choke early.

Did sinkinson fuck that?

Eh? That's off the boot of someone else, accidental offside rather than knock on?

What the fuck is this team doing

Anyone else having jumpy footage via the Stan app, phone and TV doing the same thing so assume it is the feed via Stan?

Brilliant assist by Barrett.

Thought Tim Horan might mention how filthy the actions the actions which resulted in Quinn's injury was...

Some hilarious rugby today eh. What the hell Sititi?

Rugby incident.

Nice try saver Hutchinson

Wouldn't mind a decent replay of Lomani being "on side".

Who is #20?

I looked it up and now know he is Loft and my question stands

As Marshall calls him Carter

Wouldn't that be offside? He placed it in a tackle

Messy game

That looked like neither of staying on your feet or trying to lift the ball.

Messy game

Enjoying it. Good movement.

Wtf was that

Droasese blowing minds. That's a whole other level.

Proffit's face the same as everyone watching. Brilliant

How is that a try lmfao

Has to be one of the dumbest plays Inhave ever seen

So happy to have seen that live.

Feel like my head needs a rest after though.

When was the last time you saw a prop score from a chip and chase?

@brodean said in Chiefs v Drua:

In goal chip and chase

Profit was paying good $ to score and I decide not to ahhhh

That didn't reach the field of play.

Imagine the payout on him scoring without anyone in his team touching it in the movement.

Surely that's sufficient evidence for a HIA

Watching Ratima, he seems to have lost all instinct in his game and had anything natural trained out of him. Every breakdown is a procedure - most notable in his pass having to be perfect wind up and spiral.

OK will look more closely but I think he has been very good first 40. Box kicks mostly on point.
Good support lines
Energy and alert when sititi took off the blindside.
Think he is playing well myself

@kidcalder didn't say he's not playing decent. Just not looking like next level.

Plus that's the stuff where he can actually use his instinct. The breakdown is his biggest issue this season and it's not pretty.

Can't believe I have to watch the highlanders scrap a win and then get pasted all in the same day.

Droasese is already on manic Monday. Must love Christchurch.
