    So George Bridge might have just got himself into the ABs ahead of NMS with that take. Very Ben Smith-like

          Most disappointing thing so far is that our backline just doesn't look fluid at all. We aren't creating any great opportunities.

            The story of last Super season was the NZ dominance (and Lions).

            The story of this year is the Crusaders dominance. Not surprising when Dagg and Crockett can't even make the 23. Not team even looks close.

            Talk about an unbalanced competition.

              It was clever by Jules to place the ball and buy himself time but Todd picked it and grabbed the ball, killing off the first half. Nothing to do with Ardie, the guy is just all class.

                  Canes are poor so far

                  Poor defense. Too many unforced mistakes (two cost 12 points). And totally and utterly clueless on attack

                  They will need to stop producing this garbage rugby or the will loss by 50 points

                    TBF Grant Nesbit made a fair statement there. What was the penalty for when Codie Taylor popped his bind first? J Marshall appear to answer that its the zen of the thing.

                    Though Codie came up first, the reason he popped up was because the canes players were back pedalling and bailed out, forcing the scrum up rather than backwards.

                    Looked a reasonable call to me.

                      So what were they penalised for exactly? From the rules book.

                      They didn't collapse. They weren't popped. To me it didn't look like their Loose forwards released early...So what?

                      I'm not arguing it wasn't the right decision but why? What was the exact infringement ruled?

                        Up and down first half from the Good Guys. Some lovely hands and nice ball retention, but letting ourselves down with lack of polish.

                        Lovely break from Richie. FABGB playing excellent on both sides. Hall’s speed to the ruck and his pass has been very good.

                        Canes look a little lost in attack. Forwards and backs not linking. I get the kicking because you want to be down the right end against the Sader defence and not in the middle of the park where we cause a lot of turnovers.

                            No one is up to the level of this Crusaders team. This comp is one team and a country mile to the rest.

                              Particularly when you decide to hand them points like that.

                                        I just saw the Crusaders forward pack and compared it to the Canes.

                                        Only a complete meltdown from the Crusaders and FABCRR (Future AB Coach Razor Robertson) could lose them this game.

                                        Todd Blackadder had forward packs like that, including McCaw.

                                        Robertson has taken them from contenders to unbackable favourites in two years.

                                          We are probably the second best team in the competition this season. Hard to argue who else is better than us.
