Does Halligan still come on NZ broadcasts? He butchers not just names but the entire English language.

I don't know bro. I'm in Perth. But he is as bad. It's shocking.

Yeah Clark was the one who rag dolled Utoikamanu out of the mele when he spun on Laban.

Gives me ptsd watching Laban get singled out, like true story, I was Laban for decades, I used to stoop my shoulders and round my back to try to look less - well less like a hit me first Laban face lol.

I hope Laban has a good counsellor he talks to, that unlucky guy always being picked on stuff really affects you, hell I am an old man still affected by it and I haven't had a fight in nine years now.

I don't think it bothers Laban in the slightest, he'd be up there with the chirpiest in our team.

He knows what hes about, but he knows the line and isn't silly enough to get himself in trouble for it physically which is exactly what you want.

Loved his talk about Demitric, had a hell of a game, if that's his new baseline we have a lot to look forward to.

Also our identity being around attitude and intent.......well that was on full display in Melbourne.

CHT at 6 is now a given, but I'm leaning towards Tanah at 7.

Yeah I thought Demetric got the balance between when to carry an when to pass perfect. It was definitely the closest performance we have had to Tohu since he left. Don’t get me wrong, Clark is great and I love what he brings, it was just that extra element of threat. Would love to see Fish start at 13 with TSS up front and then bomb Leka, Clark, and Demetric off the bench

I don’t have the hots for TT like some do.

He has a great read on how to defend when the opposition have broken through the front line and he has 1 or 2 men to defend - he has saved a few tries so far this year and another on Saturday

It’s his inability to pick the time when to run and when to pass that gets me.

The butchering of the try against the Storm was a glaring example and while it mattered not in the scheme of things this weekend (not sure DWZ would agree) in another game it may have been the winning of it.

At the moment for me his negatives outweigh his positives

Will be interesting if it’s Tuaupiki vs Kini at the weekend?

It is nice! I just want the club to go in Boyds Direction more. Weather it's CHT or Metcalf at 6 I don't care. To me though, it's not metcalfs team anymore.

Keeping CHT at 6 is much more important than who plays 7 in my opinion.

Same page here, he is super human at shutting down those line breaks. But whilst he always looks like he's about to make a break, has he ever actually split the line? If you are going to sacrifice the size of CNK in regards to hit ups and D then you need to offer genuine x factor like a Kini or Jye Gray

Old Vossy added half a dozen extra syllables to Utoikamanu's surname but at least had the goods to admit it then brush it

His metres were only behind Ford and Roger if I remember correctly. I don't think his balls up deserve demotion yet. But if he doesn't get better over the next half dozen rounds I might agree. I think our season at present is going positively and while we have dropped two games, lessons have been learned and changes applied. Eg: Leiataua back albeit through injury but his efforts were better. But if we had Kini I wouldn't be upset.

Wah’s up or something like that? Not the poster but a platform

Just listening to the levels podcast. These guys actually thought our game was live in Perth. It's really not that hard to do a bit of HW before going on a podcast as big as theirs. I'm sure they have producers that can alert them to stuff like this. Stuff like this and Aussie Journalists confusing TSS for TB does my head in.

I was also thinking like other poster on here that he didn't wrap his arms and it could've been a penalty but on second look it shows he had both arms wrapped.

Even that hit AKP did right before RTS was impressive

They all wanted a shot

100% you want to really take on the 'experts' view but comments like that makes you wonder how closely do they actually watch. I feel like Slater and Cronk are the only 2 that are well thought out and accurate with their comments.
