Argentina Two: Newcastle, 28 November

@Frank If you know nothing about Flanders, you haven't been paying attention the last few years!
One of only a few players standing out for NZ U20, last year. One of the group of Hastings Boys 1st XV champions (2017), just played his third season of Mitre 10 Cup at only 21; played a good first season for the Hurricanes this year.

Fuck that's an average highlight reel. -

@Stargazer you didn't mention Robinson.
You Blues and Northland fans hype up Ginga Jesus enough to leave @Stargazer to hype our Magpies boys.

we've got enormous chips on our shoulders from seeing talent like Piutau, Faumauina and Luatua heading overseas and not feeling the love. I mean, Luatua should have been setting the bar for AIoane to hit for the AB 6 position over the last few years. And you can't tell me that a quality 6 and 14 wouldn't have been useful at the last RWC.

Don't try and out chip on your shoulder us - the title is ours, at least those guys could all get Super contracts in their home franchise
Also, I don't have a problem with you lot hyping Ginga Jesus, he's worthy.

@Stargazer
Fuck that's an average highlight reel.Isn't Jordie dropping the ball cold a feature of every highlight reel?
His Magpies one will be pretty good, he scooped most of the Magpies awards this year.

@nostrildamus said in Argentina Two: Newcastle, 28 November:
well can everyone agree there are problems at 10 and midfield?
Halfback behind A Smith, especially looking at the future. We desperately need Fakatava to get decent game time for the Highlanders to see if the talent he's shown at 1st XV and Mitre 10 Cup level also translates into being a good SR player. If it does, they need to chuck him in the ABs frame asap.
The only one in-between - from an age perspective - is Mitch Drummond at 26. (Bryn Hall is 28). TTT (25) is just too slow IMO and I've found Enari a bit disappointing thus far.
Haven't watched a lot of NPC but gee I was impressed with Nock in the Champ SF before he did his hammy.
Just saying.

Am not unhappy about the potential of our 6/8 loosies. Aoane, Sotutu, Grace, Ginga, the Chief's Guy, MMT, Flanders.
More worried about our next 7 frankly. Who is that guy?
Edit: added Flanders

Not trolling, but I wonder how good Dmac could be at 9 at top level?
This reminds me of some Auckland/Blues fans who really wanted to see Orene Ai'i tried at halfback.
Just to be clear, I'm not "calling" for anything. In fact I've been one of his biggest detractors on here. But clearly a lot of folk rate him for various reasons. I was just curious, given I don’t think he in the top 4 15s or anywhere near a 10 or wing spot, and given our total dearth of quality 9s, whether he could re-cast himself as a backup there?

@raznomore Because the AB coaches pushed for him to be played at 15. As I said, the one season he played 10 the entire time he got the Chiefs to the playoffs losing by one point away.
And the past four seasons RM got the Crusaders the title.
Yes because the setup the Chiefs have currently is clearly analogous to what Robertson and the Crusaders have got going XD

@kpkanz said in Argentina Two: Newcastle, 28 November:
Yes because BB and Mounga are just TOO good currently to try something else..
Well, that's an argument I have no counter for!
Just saying we should be asking questions. Otherwise don't be shocked leaving the next world cup with nothing again.

Shit, I'm ok with asking qns. I'm just very far from convinced that Dmac to 10 will be the move that sees us lift the trophy in 2023! To me he is a big step down from either RM or BB, and that's saying something on current form.
