    They are a funky little personal radio that let you litsten to the Referee at the game, the Fox Sports commentary team or both at the same time

    I dont believe you should ever listen to the commentary, it is bad enough you can hear them quietly when the ref is speaking (or puffing for that matter )

    but it really gets you in the game, you can hear when the packs should engage... very much worth it!

    Won't hear anything then.

    Our attack is very weak, we never looked like scoring, because our attack lacks any imagination and is too predictable.JOC is the only attacking player we have. If it continues we will surely be the cellar dwellers this year.
    The chiefs had a few play makers, that had plenty of support.
    The only positive was that thats the brumbies,canes and chiefs out of the way.
    Have to feel for Pek he signed up to play loosehead and is only playhing hooker because he was more acurate than the other 2 hookers at training according to mitch. I thought his first 2 games were quite good,at least many of you thought so. And apart from the lineouts I thought he was strong around the field and at the breakdowns and in the scrums.

    So give the guy a break, its his 3rd game at hooker. He will learn from it.

    Nor anyone else apparently.

    For sale one pair of Sports Ears, going cheap. Only used once in 2 years when Real Madrid are in town to play the poofy blues.

    I've never used them to listen to the commentary, used them to listen to the ref until I lost them

    I'd disagree with that Cookie; I thought we actually looked the more convincing side going forward in the first 30 minutes. But the Chiefs managed to bog it down each time and the subsequent pick-and-drive was just not adequate to the task. We came away with penalties, but one look at the average scorelines indicates that settling for penalties is not going to get it done anymore.

    We seem to be playing last years tactics, but squandering the turnover ball with poor kicking choices or poor skills. If there was one thing that I noticed from all the games last weekend, it was that there is now a big premium placed on standing in the tackle and offloading the ball. It is a good thing for the game as a whole, but to me the clear consequences of the rigorous tackle interpretation is the emphasis on individual skills in both attack and defense and the requirement for a very precise and organised forward play. While you can't fault the desire, I'd say the team is coming up a bit short on both fronts at the moment.

    A good team will always capitalise on their scoring opportunities, hodgo was lucky to escape the yellow card.
