Haven’t gone through this thread yet, will later, but just want to add this. Apologies if this has been said. This might be the worst commentary trio sky has put out. James Parsons… wow. The other 2 females… yikes. Come on sky, seriously.

Glad I’m in a noisy bar watching this so I don’t have to endure it.
MP need to respect the ball far better. A few of their forwards need to step up as other than Ardie most of them have been pedestrian.

@Mattasaurus Sure, but we can praise Hastie without needing to shit on Fakatava, because again, he was superb last week, and was deservedly named to start this one.

Yeah probably a fair call mate.
I feel Hastie could be a bit quicker to clear the ball , and I do like FF as an impact player coming on late in the game ( I know he's injured tonight)

What a mover Hastie has been this season. If you'd asked me three weeks ago which halfback should be dropped at the end of the season he'd have been my pick. Now he's the one guy I think we can't loose.
Gilbert outside of being isolated that one time, has been great. Nice to see his defence has improved this season. Fantastic work from the team the back 20.
Hastie is the only halfback contracted beyond this season. At this stage. He initially signed a three year deal from the start of last year
@SouthernMann sorry should have clarified that I knew he was contracted beyond the season. But I rated Fakatava, Arscott, Pledger, Lennox...hell Connor Mcleod for me down in Southland was someone I rated higher.
Hastie has pleasantly blindsided me.

Swat th 0 and 2 around.

Credit where it's due - these halftime interviews with the coaches offer some actual value. They're not assistants offering platitudes, even if the insight can be obvious; e.g. "stop making errors".

Where have all these halfbacks come from?

Amazing what happens when you give players a chance and not select players based on name

It’s fucking night and day looking at these two teams though…

Ardie disrupting the play out wide. Into everything.

Get in Ardie.

Really would have thought the superiority of the lineout would have given the highlanders a lot more than it has

They are winning good ball and their maul drive is not too bad. It’s what’s happening after that is the problem. Especially their halfback
