Rieko is listed at 103kg.

I wonder if he is the man. OK, we wouldn't be making the most of his speed on the outside channels but Rieko could certainly bend the defensive line. And if he developed a SBW-like offload.

Did you see him at 12 when Tana played him there? Such a waste.

Developing as a 13, but not a candidate at 12 for me.

@nzzp I was just throwing his name out there amongst a lot of others.

Alex Nankivell is a 2nd 5 not mentioned. 1.88 m and 98 kg for comparison.

MN5

What’s George Moala up to ?

African Monkey

@ACT-Crusader I was thinking about him as a 12 today funnily enough. Sounds silly right now but with the options the Crusaders have out wide, he may eventually get pushed in.

I guess we could give Rieko a go at 12 after the success he had there with the Blues a couple of seasons ago.

Haha didn't see this while posting. Rieko was a car crash is slow motion at 12 for the Blues. One of the worst selections I've ever seen from a Blues coach and he kept him there all season.

Crucial

Ardie 12, Rieko 13 could be a goer.

Rancid Schnitzel

Jordie for christ sake.

gt12

Faiane shouldn't be as far away as he currently is, given that he is a specialist 2nd V. If they don't want to trust Laumape there, then Faiane would be a player to put in the environment and see whether he can go to the next level.

Stargazer

@MN5 Still playing for Clermont.

Bugger, he had some brute force that coulda been handy

Peter Umaga Jensen should be the 2nd five.

102 kg.

Based on a few handy games at 13 this year?

He's got it mate - trust me (says anonymous guy on the Fern)

PUJ looked a lot more comfortable at 13 than 12 this year.

ACT Crusader

Goodhue’s first season at 2nd 5, I think he will grow into the role longer term because the defensive game is solid. Us fans might have to be a little patient as he develops the attacking game from closer in.
