Highlanders v Hurricanes

@Winger I'm not a advocate of Blackwell, but I disagree he wasn't good at NPC level, at least not last season. He was easily better than Walker-Leawere in the same team.
The Canes should look at James Tucker from Waikato. He was awesome for them last season. He was one of the real unlucky ones to not get a Super contract.

@Daffy-Jaffy what I find more interesting in those stats is:
0 Rebels (top Aus team)
1 Crusader (top NZ team)
2 Lions (top SA conference)Chiefs and Jaguares have 1 more player in those tables than the above 3 combined, yet both sit bottom of thier tables...seem to be more players of teams in the middle of the pack featuring.
Proving that stats are cool and often irrelevant...

Or possibly that it's easier to stand out in a team that's struggling? Be interesting to see those numbers as a percentage of the team totals.

@Dice I disagree that Blackwell was better than Walker-Leawere in the NPC. Walker-Leawere was actually one of the more standout figures for the Lions in 2018, which is why I don't get why he hasn't been thrown into the fire yet.

@Canes4life Considering Blackwell was given Wellington Player of the Year and Plumtree is playing him ahead of Walker-Leawere, I don't think I'm alone in thinking he was better in the NPC.
Walker-Leawere had the odd game where he flashed his potential, but he wasn't consistent.
