@Bones said in Blues v Brumbies:
I'd have Plummer in the frame for AB ten ahead of Perofeta based on last year and this year.
Really reliable player.
Perofeta is an ultra-lite Mo'unga, so overrated.

I'm really starting to warm to Vern as a coach.
Just now? It was pretty blinding obvious that he was going to be an improvement over completely shart the bed with selections and tactics McDonald.

Being an improvement was a lay down misère, having the Blues play this style this well is something else.

Brumbies now look like they're trying too hard and thinking ahead rather than concentrating on simple skill execution.
-
Is this the most no nonsense game from the Blues in the last 15 years? Very impressive, demolishing a good Brumbies pack.

Easy RC.

@gt12 dumb play by Noah.
A school boy would get pulled off for that sort of stupidity

Phrasing

I really like Funaki, he’s a little energiser bunny, with a nice quick pass.
Not sure where both the Blues and ABs obsession with the little ginga comes from, but I rate Funaki as a much better player.

Could not agree more

That will help the Canes next week, thanks Slipper. Hope McWhannell is all good.

The only reason McDonald didn't get proper criticism is because the bar for improvement was so low when he took over.
The reality is he couldn't manage to get the team to perform anywhere close to their potential against the top 3 sides (with the sole exception of 2022, the year Schmidt effectively ran the show).

Brumbies collapsed that. Should be a PT and another YC.

I constantly criticised his coaching and selections. I think some people were just pleased it wasn't Tana or JK bad.

Farcical by the Brumbies. Funaki scores
