^ sorry, my brain somehow merged your post re: Tribe pack & zer0's re: Cane into one.

It's ok. I'm really just one of Zero's sockpuppet accounts anyway.

Hope this PM finds you well.

^ I think DP* may be referring to Cane's ref management. At this point I'd say Cane is probably a good-ish captain of the lead-by-example type but I do question his leadership at times: you just don't see him gathering the troops for the "let's not make cnuts of ourselves" talk that's necessary sometimes when stuff just isn't going your way. To be fair McCaw was much the same, ditto Read.

* edit: make that zer0.

More or less this. For all of his 1914 follow-me-over-the-top-chaps bravado, Read was hapless as two Frenchmen decided to ignore the laws, do their own thing, and enshrine him as the first All Blacks captain to fail to beat the Lions since the 70's. The f*ck that would've happened under McCaw.

Whitelock, meanwhile, is a stone cold killer. Would have him as captain every day of the week.

Wait, but I'm a DP alt account!

Guess this means there's only one logical conclusion here.

We're both actually Shiggins' sockpuppets.

"sockpuppets", eh? Probably means something else in cyclo's game

Late change for Loss Bleus: Gibson out, Lamborn starts.

 

[zer0]

Think we need a few scrums so Sheriff Karl and deputies Ofa and Kurt can lay down the law to these uppity southrons.....

 

[Up the Guts]

Aaron’s acting skills are improving

 

[zer0]

F*ck off Fraser you utter coward.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

10-point dive from Nugget.

 

[swingpass]

And I thought the “knock on” decision yesterday was bad - f&*# me that was atrocious

 

[Up the Guts]

Caleb Clarke surely close to the AB 23

 

[Dismal Pillock]

BB goalshots ffs he's got the yips. Wayy too front-on.

FWT Afterdavid, 10 pt turnaround is right. That plus Blues going up 12-0 after 12 mins then AGAIN clocking off and giving away 4 pens in 5 mins to leak 10 pts bugger me. Blues should be up by 30 by now, scoring tries at will.

Yeah, wasn't ASmith's tantrum the sort of shit refs were saying was out of order just this week?

I actually thought it was bang on, big Karl was in offside position and dived in the way, once you caught behind a ruck or something, you have to make sure you get out of the way, he would of been better to stand still with hands in air.

By Geez Ofa T is bloody playing well, I would argue he actually playing better thab Owen Franks ever did (and I a huge Franks fan)

 

[Dan54]

Just replayed the penalty Karl T knew what he was doing , bit like the old foot 'accidentily' holding a ball in ruck.

 

[Dan54]

Geez he bloody good, I could see him at 13 too, by christ there is a log jam out wide for ABs.

 

[Up the Guts]

I didn’t realise Waratahs legend Daniel Halangahu was the Blues’ assistant coach.

Classic establishment defending airport cubicle sex pests. Smh.

Good guy Blues not abusing their superiority to run up a big score but, instead, keeping it interesting. Unlike a certain unnamed Death Star franchise residing within Timaru-upon-steroids.

It's a shame we couldn't fly in some international refs to spare us being punished by the likes of O'Keeffe and Pickerill. Imagine bringing out some of those mad cap French refs (Poite, Garces et al), forming them into the four horsemen of the refereeing apocalypse, and putting them in charge of every Crusaders match. Would've absolutely spiced up every match with their chaotic neutral stupid.

Seem to recall that Gardner was voted best ref by the NZ players in a poll. You're welcome to him.

Nugget didn't have to run straight at him, but........
