If SJ was playing he would have kicked that drop goal.

If SJ was playing we would never have been in the position to need him for that kick....

You have to laugh.

Done by a fluke a metaphor for our season.

Funny thing is I say who cares we found our mojo that is what has been missing at this club, season gone but the team is back. I know which I would choose.

Big question is if Johnson is available next week, who plays…

I reckon we lose that 32-10 if Johnson is 7

Hate to say it because he was fine otherwise, but CHT missing a very gettable kick was again a point of difference.

Reminds us we're on our fourth choice kicker - makes you wonder if Tuaupiki was worth a go at fullback.

I thought Egan decision making at dummy half was poor for much of the game, esp in the first half when in their 20. Kept hitting front rowers with nothing doing. Also went blind side a few times with nothing on. I’ve noticed the last few games now his decision making being below par.

5th tackle option Barnett crash play but called 6 again as Dolphins inside the 10m.

AFB knocks on a shocking pass from Egan at dummy half 5m out.

The attack has no official plans by the look, other than 1 out plays, shuffle the ball left and right and random kicks with bat backs.

We just have more points in us when he’s 7. Probably a lot to do with Johnson’s fitness, but that’s not Martin’s problem
We still seem to be hitting 1 man out and shuffling left to right, the angle runs are flat and the atracking kicks seem to be often not planned.
I haven't seen shape off a scrum play and very little shape or angle runners setting up inside the 10m.
