NSW Waratahs vs Blues, Sat May 28th 2022

[KOB1987]

So hopefully HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and Perese to return next week, which would be nice boost. But concerned for Poreki. Did he come off for an HIA? It wasn’t clear in the coverage. I think he came off against the Chiefs for an HIA, hope he’s ok, and wonder if he will have to sit out a week due to protocols.

I don’t think it’s anything serious, he was at the Sheaf after the game…allegedly.

Take the faarken points

Except when it’s the 78th minute and you are down by 3.

Would have been better to go for touch, soak up some time and score a try

You as one, you go around this forum acting like you know better then everyone else.. but your just as bias and uninformed as the rest of us..

What arm chair experts with no idea..surely not..but opinions are free and hence I think the value associated with those opinions seems priced right?

On a serious note tahs were always going to be underdogs against top 3 kiwi sides but felt we were a chance. Tahs put in bad time to be ordinary as lost that spark against blues team who had changed 13 players.

Need a big turnaround against the chiefs and after this performance a little less confident. Need Perese and HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) back and also porecki who went off.

Well yeh, I am just dumbstruck with the utter rejection of the premise of score board pressure, we have been doing it for years, endless scrum re-sets, lineouts = with too often little success

It is like each captain takes the bet and then refuses to consider any other option

These pricks need to learn to move on, have a go - sure, but if it doesn't succeed, take the faaaaarken points

light blue spends half his posts telling everyone they dont know what there talking about and that his opinion is right.

C'mon. Direct this invaluable hate at the Cantabs. Those bastids have earned it. We're just shitposting while the sun briefly shines across Onehunga.

Good name for a Country song. You should work on a few chords and the rest of the lyrics. It's got potential. Maybe win a Loxene Golden Disk award. You never know. Aim for the stars.

Really pleased with that Blues effort after a really messy first 60 minutes. At 14-3 down the Tahs had all the momentum it didn't look like the Blues had any points in them but the Blues bench really made a difference.

Tahs made a meal of that first half - should have been up by double digits but conspired to be down 3.

Coleman managed to get the Tahs up to beat the Landers in Dunedin after a similarly crushing loss vs Canes so Tahs aren't without hope this coming weekend.

Surely the decision to kick the final penalty was the right one. It gave them a chance to go to extra time.

The poor decision making was right through the first half when we turned down multiple shots at goal. We absolutely underestimated the opposition and should have built scoreboard pressure through taking our shots at goal.

Then we could have been more aggressive.

Struggling to think of anywhere less "Country" than Onehunga, even while the sun briefly shines across it...

It practically writes itself!

Really? I grew up there.
