The final played in the fog comes to mind.

Reds are letting in some easy tries… where’s the ‘show no mercy’ attitude….?

Find me some reason to the sanctions this year that make sense. I truly can’t.

What was the verdict on Owen Franks? Just yellow or red? And MotM to the Fijian winger earning NZ dollars in Crusaders, Mr Reece? :silly:

People talk about a crowd being a team's 24th player. With the Saders it's their weather!

They got the turnover, needed a try to win and he does that giving away a penalty

The ears of Asafo Aumua are something to behold. Am amazed that the Canes didn't put on 20 points in that 1st half. I sorta felt the Canes were rushing it a bit and loose passes was the result plus stoic defence by the Crusaders. Tight hard rugby that is a better watch than a 35-3 flogging. :stoked:

Looked like the same issues to me. Discipline and accuracy remain a problem.

It was thuggish. Let’s call it what it was. He should get 4 weeks but won’t

Was entertaining as the score was in the balance til then, however there were lots of aimless kicking, handling errors and silly penalties. Conditions surely contributed to the quality of the game. Reece was a step above everyone else.
Just call me Campo

Frank's gets a card for cleaning and the bloke that shoulder charged Lynagh 2 days after he let go the ball, get what? Oh, nothing! More reffing where they just let 1 team play, penalise the other side until they score. What is wrong with the administrators of this comp?
Derek Murray

Tough old slog. Franks will/should be upgraded to Red. WRT sanction: mitigations - drove straight into his head with shoulder, bent slightly, All Black, not an Australian front rower. 6 weeks, reduced to 3 plus school dispensation so 2. And, did I mention he’s an AB? Make it 1
