[QUOTE="UilamOsa, post: 484599, member: 52898"] It looked to me like they were using Smith & Popoalii as back up first receivers to Noakes. It's a massive strength of Popoalii's to put players in gaps (his 7s background) or if necessary take the tackle himself. It also allows Smith to chime in when he needs to, rather than all the time. It's a shame the chiefs didn't use Nanai-Williams in the same manner rather than have SBW at first receiver, he's better running off others and then distributing. It also left Kahui rarely touching quality ball. I would've went Tamaiti Ellison as MoM. Given his late reappearance obvious fitness and timing issues, he still a huge amount of class. It's early to say but I think like Hore & Gear, they've found the perfect team to compliment their abilities. And even with the Hurricanes this morning - this is shaping up to be a really interesting competition. [/QUOTE]
