A year too late

All this talk about the Latu is a great smoke screen. All this hand wringing because a hooker punched a centre o_O No talk about how shit the Tahs were? A million penalties, a couple in the bin, dire scrummaging, faaark Ponies should more concerned about how a side playing so badly, so...

The Tahs do have a policy of getting them back, especially the bench and reserves who need game time, but they are often limited in the minutes they are allowed to manage workload

Yeah, I started to watch this game, but became so frustrated that Despicable Me 2 became the better option

Great to see Matt Sandell getting an opportunity, as a THP it appears Ryan will again play long minutes at LHP

Hey guys, it is now Wednesday, do you realise there hasn't been anything on this thread that isn't contributing to a death spiral up it's own arsehole for a couple of days? (hint round 2 starts in two days, next!)

Less than 20 me thinks, but the ponies should do enough, The Tah's defence is far more effective than the Cane's passive rubbish and the Tahs will score some points, just not enough

At the time, whilst applauding Beale, I was think CFS? WTF? Should have done much better against a tackle that high

I think that was the issue, the ref thought he was too often part of the tackle and needed to demonstrate the release

You see there is this thing called concussion that is actually taken seriously these days. Fail the test and no more game time for you until you pass the test.

Press Conference

Ta'avao, broken nose and concussion

And both are in doubt for this week having to get through concussion protocols to be considered

I struggle with this 3 hours of scrummaging shit. Sides get suckered into it too often It rarely works and is just too passive - relying on the ref to interpret stuff your way instead of taking the initiative. Why not do some proper scrummaging? 1/4 turn, drive on to lock on the defending...

I thought Lees got it right and Gardner got it wrong. A clear release is required so the attacker has an opportunity to place the ball. Pocock was too opportunistic and just latched on far too often with no release, let alone a clear release. Pocock needs to get his timing right as that...

Yeah, clearly the plan was to take off the best player on the field o_O

despite Beale going off for a head injury check afterwards o_O

A bit hard on Fatcat, he went off with a head knock & blood not long after coming on (Ta’avao also had a broken nose and a head knock) Tilse on the other hand ...........................

I would have preferred to see the Tahs keep their shape and intensity for longer, but it is round 1, not the money rounds
