    @Billy-Tell completely agree. The problem nowadays is players are too quick to head off once they miss a super rugby spot. With larger squads and injuries there is always opportunities arising. Banks could have got regular game time at the Blues and pushed for higher honours with Cruden leaving

    @Kiwidom Banks didn't sign with Treviso because he missed out, he just signed with them.

    As for Douglas...What, he should sit on his hands earning nothing in the hope he picks up an injury replacement contract?

    I'm gutted as a Waikato fan. Douglas has been bloody good value at NPC level and we've also lost Brian Alainu'uese this week too. Money talks.

    @Kiwidom wait, what? I'm not sure what is harder to believe, that a 26 year old who can't make a Super squad is being "too hasty" in taking what i imagine is a much more lucrative offer. Or that Marty Banks is, or could be, All Black quality.

    I'd rate Banks fifth as a first five - behind Mo'unga, but ahead of Francis, West, Black and DMac.

    @Chris-B.
    Agree

    EOYT, lima or beaudy get injured, no cruden. Interesting. ..

    Edit, oh yeah, Dmac probably gets a go

    We might be a little bit thin at first five next year when Cruden is gone - depending on how much time Sopoaga gets this season and how he goes.

    I'd expect to see Richie Mo'unga get called up as the third first five, but even at the end of this year he won't be that experienced. DMac is doubtless on the radar, but right now probably hasn't started five first class matches as a first five and Jordie has probably yet to start one.

    Hopefully Beaudy stays fit and Shag can run an orderly development plan!

    @Chris-B. Israel Dagg!

    I don't think first 5 is an issue ... especially whilst Stephen Donald is around.

    @MajorRage Hope not - but, we've been a bit spoiled since the trials of 2011!

    Have you seen Banks this year? I'd have agreed with you a few years back - but he's been off the pace this year. And he's got silly hair. 🙂

    @Nepia I have. Not sure if he's carrying an injury - he usually is. Still going OK.

    Has he missed a kick at goal yet?

    I don't get the love for Banks. More importantly, as Nepia stated, he has silly hair. Must be some Jew in that boy.

    I'm not offended 🙂 but I am surprised there is Hebrew hair. Checks mirror. Yep, luckily I avoided the Hebrew hair gene.
