    1. 2024 TOTY SECOND FIVE-EIGHTH

    Decimally this is the 0.675-1.250. Less educated parts of the world may refer to this position as an Inside Centre. They are clearly idiots because unless you’re playing in Dunedin or Cardiff the game is played outside.

    Rules as stated in Intro thread, but reminder please to.

    • Give reasons for nomination
    • Argue like squabbling toddlers

    Not a great year for 2nd 5s.

    I'm nominating Jordie Barrett. There a still lots of rough edges to his game, but what a skill set! When he played well, the All Blacks looked at their best.

    Yes, Sione Tuipulotu is a very underrated player. Strong both in attack and defense, and is a great leader of men as well. Bundee Aki was outstanding during the 6N but was a shadow of his former self during the autumn internationals.

    Damian de Allende is bubbling under. Incredible strength but relatively slow in defense.

    If Jordie can get nominated off a couple of good games then O'Aki should be good for a nomination based on the 6N.

    Len Ikitau had the best performances at 12 all year. He and DDL head and shoulders above everyone else.

    Nominating Jordie Barrett is a fucking joke surely.

    When was that? Not in 2024

    What skill set does he have that no one else does ?

    Not taking the piss, genuine question.

    All I can recall him doing is cart the ball up, not as effectively as other 12s mentioned above.
