Force line up Staniforth for Chiefs showdown

[palitu]

i have a bad memory and really can't be arsed going through stats...

but, i knew he had a good week... and couldn't understand how he caused two tries when they more or less went through the centres...

not the biggest fan of sare, but he did well. I like the fact he has a bit of nugget in him and is happy to get into a ruck or two...

on a vaguely related note, i did like to see DHP at least attempt to stop a pick and drive against two front rowers last week, bad defensive positioning from the forwards, but he did what he could.

doubt Hill will play but Bart might be fit so he's an option at 10 other than that i LIKE your selection Gigs its deviously left field yet has the makings of a great combination, Cross is a big guy and hard to bring down so having him out wide is a good option if we dont have anyone with rocketshoes.

i thought that was great- he held up two then three, huge forwards for 2-3 seconds before his legs gave in.. what awesome commitment!!

yeah, they were huge... It's weird, i have not been impressed with him really, but i do like him. not sure what is going on there...

Haig
Week one Stats show 6 runs, 1 line break, 2 tackle busts, 6 tackles, 0 missed.
24 points

last week he was less impressive with 2 runs, 1 tackle made and 2 missed
-1 point

Zim, I can see we're gunna continue to battle;

Game 2 Tatupu
6 runs (for the most metres of any of the backs, only Hodgo beat him) 6 tackles, 1 tackle asst, 1 offload, 1 linebreak, 3 rucks, 1 missed tackle.
Missed tackle was 3 on 2 and he (had to) came in and got zip.

I did mention that Tatupu had a great game against the Canes so im not sure i know where youre going with this unless you are trying to rate Tatupu against Sare?

Sare and Harris. Big picture he (Josh) still is a better option than Sare, Harris and even DHP if you go by stats. Particularly since Mitch is not using a 'the number on your back' approach to defence and attack.
