Blues @ Force, 30th April 2022

[zer0]

Blues players I'd like to see get a start:

2. Vikena
6. Plumtree
7. Segner
10. Sullivan (if available)
12. Evans
11. Clarke

Admittedly Evans would be the most unlikely, as 99% sure RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) will be starting there.

EDIT: I believe Akira is also due back to commit some hate crimes from blindsde. So could try Plumtree at lock or reintroduce Akira from the bench.

 

[Dan54]

Yep if Akira is fit, think he will get a run. Sullivan and Perofeta have had covid probs so may not be all that flash as yet.

Blues players I'd like to see get a start:

2. Vikena

Yep they need to see if he7s up to it. Eklund might seem like the new kid but he's 30 now ffs.

6. Plumtree

Bet the selectors have got a sharp eye on this guy.

Well, you'd think so if they werent shit-for-brains Fozzie who's probably had that fuckwit Frizzle pencilled in for RWC2023 since RWC 2019 when Hansen told him to

7. Segner

Such a strange player. Physically looks like he's going to get crushed yet he holds his own, is brave as shit, and also seems to know where to go

10. Sullivan (if available)

They must know they want to see if this will work

12. Evans

Admittedly Evans would be the most unlikely, as 99% sure RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) will be starting there.

RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) vs Stupid Sexy Kahui.

 

[KiwiM]

Lam deserves to keep starting so perhaps give him or Clarke a run in 14.

There's been no indication that they are willing to try Zarn at 10 so fullback it is for him i'd say.

 

[Boof1050]

Fark we'll put anyone on the field that hasn't had covid!!

Yep MP (Moana Pasifika) and most kiwi teams have been doing that too Boof, it's bloody annoying huh? I think both Perofeta and Zarn were out for Blues last week And even when players over it, seems most run at only about 70-80% for a few weeks.

yeah Dan was just talking about that fact yesterday regarding the after affects. Its certainly taken myself and other quite fit people much longer to recover from Covid. Nevermind trying to play a pretty full on game for 80 minutes or so.

[zer0]

No Plumtree is disappointing. Though he would've at least got a bench spot.

Laulala, Sotutu and Rieko on AB rest

LOL, this clown should be playing, fat fucker could do with the exercise.

I hear exercise is good for WEIGHT LOSS.

Useless fat prick, what a dud buy.

Let's Review:

* at Chiefs, kicks arse.
* makes the AB's.
* moves to Blues, gets high on his own stash, purchases numerous tickets on himself, gets fat, forgets how to run, does jackshit

Alex Masibaka is a Perth born and raised product.

Which is a stupid time to schedule a game. Too late for families in Perth - particularly with juniors starting on Sat 30th and too late in NZ for most

In my defence, I am weapons grade stupid.

Geez DP that site has it in nz times as shown by co.NZ??? So it is played on Saturday for us!! Not sure how it works on Pitcairns

 

[Dan54]

I am looking forward to see Akira start on Fri/Sat, I reckon maybe this year he maybe ready to show us how good he is, I really hope so, he's 26 now so old enough to know he has to get stuck in for whole time he on field. If he does as we know he could make life difficult for Force, and better still come on and show us how good he can be at test level!
