Big surprise is TJ, been good so far.
Yeah, he has had some good moments but for me still too much of a meerkat and should have taken a few running opportunities where there were some massive gaps.

Great performance so far.
Some really average headless chook stuff during the half tho
From who? Sure a couple of dumb penalties but that happens all the time.
I reckon we’ve played pretty safe. We’ve made some good little runs off to get over the gain line but we have hardly thrown an offload or 50/50 ball.
A few times we weren’t on the same page but that’s more lack of experience and combinations.
I think we’ve done okay.
Maybe headless chook wrong phrase. Just seem to lack incisive decision sometimes on attack, shoveling it on. Running sideways and backwards. Add to that some real howlers in line out and real pointless penalties.
@machpants I think Havili is def struggling with their defence, running around like Dmac and limiting options

Aumua reminds me of a young Mealamu - low centre of gravity, short arms and bowling ball style attack. If he can sort out the line out throwing he could be a keeper
@mrdenmore he has a very high ceiling for sure. Will only get better with experience.

Yeah, just needs to run straight. Doesn’t help anyone running backwards behind his own players

@bones pretty sure those were his only off throws. A work on yes but he’s been superb everywhere else.
No, there have been others. One dropped before Akira, he needs to improve his throwing. Looks great in the field.

He does, but he's no Aled de Malmanche

Especially on the blindside of a number of rucks. Big gaps.

That came off Luke's head, carry on!
I think TJ was always in front of him.
