He’s never getting picked for WBs, playing for us

Should probably move to the Rebels

I hear Hodge isn’t much chop down there.

Oi! Hodge is the next Latho but one.

Mark N is the next Greg Martin. With all that entails.

Zorb balls at half time

Zorb balls at half time

An improvement, and a big one, on the usual Suncorp halftime fare.

Whetton got pinged there, solely because he wouldn’t make a front-on tackle

Cat.

Is this wishful thinking, or is this ref pretty decent? (A question it shames me a tad to ask).

Not sure if this is the best the Tahs have played all year or the worst that the Chiefs have...

We’ve got one record..

Our No.8 has dropped the ball every time he’s carried it.

Swinton misses that blindside break

His card is stamped!

It’s both correct and fair to note Nawaqanitawase’s abominable defence has much to do with Wainui’s third try. But why was it all up to him?

Did the ‘tahs, like the Reds, sack their defence coach because plagueausterity; or was there not one to begin with?

Faaark. Wainui has now scored four …

It's the Sean Wainui Show, featuring his Soul II Soul tribute band - "Back2Lyfe"...

I just want it to be over

The good/hopeful news is that they’ll actually try and do something different next year instead of picking the same fcking private school/system duds that they’ve picked year after year

You know you've failed to make the necessary defensive adjustments when the same bloke scores four similar tries in 50 minutes.

Would not such a thing be dependent on a change in those who hire who do the hiring?

Please, get Whetton off

Mercy!

Well, quite

I’ve been at the junior state champs today

Same ‘named’ players given inside rails to the Academy

Seemed a pretty harsh call really.

But it's true that there's been way too many close-up shots of Whetton blowing up over some refereeing decision. That's a pretty bad smell.

Aaargh faaark me roan. Edmed made a nice break and delivered a crisp pass and that goose with the headband bungled it.

Nice offensive defence, that...

The defence coach is head co-coach Gilmore.

Cheika and Morgs did a run through of the Tahs defensive woes before the game. The players have no coordinating idea on D ... names like Harrison and Nawaqanitawase featured in particular.

They could sack the coach again but realistically they need to be sacking players - or to put a kinder spin on it, develop them at a lower level, e.g. Marinos's NRCv3...

There wasn't a deliberate slap down there? Or is this just a really long advantage?

Yeah I watched some but not all of that so didn’t catch who was notionally responsible for defence coaching.

Without naming individual lads, I watched 2 ‘Academy’ players who were completely average, but go to the right school and have been ‘in the system’ so can therefore never, ever leave it

It’s utterly depressing. I’ll guarantee you we’ll see them in the Tahs within3 years

Not a high quality game...

I really think the defensive problem is a matter of coaching and strategy more than individuals. Of course they're not tackling awesome or anything, but a lot of the tries haven't been a result of any particular missed tackle. Take the first one as an example, nobody missed tackle, they just weren't there to make the tackle.

Whatever his name for the Chiefs has basically walked in four tries. He hasn't had to work too hard for any of them.

The defensive pattern & strategy is just all over the place.

Not a high tackle either, what the Fark is happening here? How in the name of Buddha is that a yellow card.

Bit harsh?

And not improved by another depressing YC

(Apologies, should have quoted kiwigreg: ‘Not a high quality game)

Poor decision. Was he supposed to remove his head? FFS!

Essentially corrupt.

But it's the system that just won't die. It's unkillable.

It doesn't matter that it's head on head, it doesn't matter that you're taller than the attacking player. Those things are irrelevant.

If you go into a tackle bolt-upright and make contact with the player's head, you are responsible.

I'm not saying I like it, I'm just saying I can get the logic and it's not as ridiculous as the commentators are saying.

Tahs clueless, limp wristed, flacid penii.

Hard to watch this level of ineptitude by so called professionals.

Sadly, Marky Mark is a cat on D ... and not the only one.

They are just a team of too many youngsters not ready for this level.

Shouldn't be continually rewarded with selection, but they are because of "potential" and no squad depth. Tahs organisation is a basket case.

Bloke like that should be getting occasional minutes off the bench, and working his way up

That maybe true, but I think both things can be true. The defensive strategy is all over the shop. The Chiefs have been walking in tries.

Nangawangawhatshisname is pretty handy on attack anyway. But yeah, that's not worth much if you skimp on defence.

Swinton will be lucky if that’s not Red.

Red!
