Edmed's new haircut has me wondering when the real slim shady will stand up

 

[Marce]

And that's why Edmed lost his spot..

This isn't touch footy. Secure the possesion in your own 22

that was atrocious. Doleman wasn’t even that bad. The Tahs were just dog water

Seriously disappointing performance. Shocking year after last year, gone backwards in all areas. Destroyed by all 3 NZ teams in NZ.

 

[Froggy]

After Donaldson had his best game last week against the Drua, that must be one of his worst. Absolutely no direction in attack, kicking just seemed completely aimless, and couldn't even kick goals. Holloway was very quiet, I think a rest next week would do him the world of good. Generally though, the whole side showed too much inaccurate passing, slow to react to whatever the Saders did, lazy at the breakdown. Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) went back to his bad old days of throwing speculators.
Looking for positives, the set piece was good, there were periods of pretty resolute defence, and just the occasional glimpse of what they are capable of in attack. They really need to lift 100% on that (and I believe they are capable of doing so).

The Tahs lineout was a shambles

 

[Shiggins]

6 penalties to the Saders before 13 got sent, 3 for the Tahs. Is anyone surprised by this anymore?

One of the softest yellows this year. There is no way that's a yellow

Crusaders have 2 or 3 genuine world class players. Maybe more. The tahs have.... I'm gona have to say none? Don't get me wrong. They have some very good players but not world class. It shows.

After 495 games of First Class Rugby Football he has been deemed worthy of donning the fabled R&B.

I see Afoa has decided he has got a NPC season left in him after this game WOB!!! He will crack the 500 first class games.

I knew we were mentally screwed for this game when we did that dumb cross field kick early. WTF? why go for 3% hero play against the most effective, organised team in the comp?

It doesn't matter if your winger spends the whole game waiving about all the space he has over his side (and Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) does that all game, every game) you play to the plan and never attempt that kick without a penalty advantage

It was a head scratcher, that's for sure.

I think that's close to the worst I've seen the Tah's play this year.
