We did get one seriously good call. It was late in the second half and the Warriors were on attack with their winger about to go over the sideline. He got the ball away fair and square before going out but the touchie got it wrong. We got possession instead of the Warriors getting a fair go.
I think it was balanced out though when Nikorima had a knockon that was ruled knockback.
Turpin was fantastic yet again and in my heart I just don't see AS breaking up a winning formula by putting McCullough straight back in. It would be a massive call and people would be screaming if we started losing with Macca back.

Most likely, but shibasaki still sucks. I'd give fifita a go there to be honest. Then we can stack Flegler, Carrigan and Joffa on the bench with Segy.

Changed the game alright, made the other forwards pull their fingers out and do extra work when he was on.
Both you know and i know thats bullshit. I keep calling it every week. He comes on, we cross the stripe.

That we did.
For the next week they have to put up with an updated banner on their site.

Yeh and funny how the ref kept his whistle in his pocket on that one but blew the pea out of it when we stayed on them for one second too long....

We might have won by a bigger margin. A speed man in a game like tonight's would have been invaluable. He would have held up defensively as despite their numerous chances, NZ really never looked like scoring.

Yeah, I think people are contributing the improvement in our right side defence to Roberts not being there, for mine, its more due to Nikorima not being there. Nikorima truly was god awful on the edge. Dearden hasn't totally set the world alight just yet, but hes definitely a better defensive option than Nikorima.

Until Roberts pulls his head out of his ass and stops sulking and puts in. Until then, yes.

Easily our least impressive player. All I can remember of him is a sloppy error that put us under a heap of pressure

Don't forget the dumb penalty with 20 seconds to go... Him and Boyd could be related. Both suck.

Or it's due to Roberts not being in the team.
Our right side defence was still fragile even without Niko. Then we dropped Roberts and suddenly, it's better.

He'll never give Boyd credit so there is no point trying with him on that one.

Disagree. Two crucial knock ons when we were attacking their line, and on multiple occasions when attacking their line he didnt get involved at all during the set. Also lacked urgency on a number of kicks. 5/10 performance at best. Which i guess for him is considered 'good'

His younger brother, Kawa is a gun. He'll blow them off the track when he makes first grade.
