@taniwharugby keen to see how no22 goes with a name as good as that should have a good future

@Machpants said in Northland v Manawatu:
@J77 blues region, helping out, makes sense
it bloody does, but by god you'd not have seen that in the last couple of decades. Good show I reckon, embedding coachs in ownership unions
-
@nzzp yeah I think in the past 3 or 4 years initiated by Tana, he has been trying to engage the Blues region.
Can only be for the good if the Blues region if they all feel the Blues are supporting them, enabling them to better support the Blues rather than the fractured relationship that has existed for large parts of super rugby.

@Steven-Harris ....and Gregory. This year could be the making of him if he is well coached and listens.
-
@kev on evidence from a few games last year, in Super rugby this season and last weekend, he has taken massive steps backwards.
Massive talent, still young enough, but someone needs to get in his ear as he is really struggling.
He is not a FB, best suited to mid-field, but needs time on the wing to just get his mojo back.
-
@taniwharugby I agree. His natural enthusiasm lends itself to getting his hand on the ball often, and being involved. Whereas at fullback his decision making and game management at this stage of his career is a weakness. But he could be one of our best players ever. Just hope he doesn’t end up like so many of our young players who fail to fulfil their potential or do so with another team. A huge talent.
-
@kev yeah I feel that FB gives him too much time to think about what he is about to do, he seems to work better with less time when playing more on instinct, that said, I'd say his confidence probably isnt where it needs to be right now either, which is why a stint on the wing, and then moving in later in the game might be best for him
