@no-quarter said in AB left wing:
Agree with Rieko, I think his switch to centre was premature. He still has the pace to dominate on the wing, would love to see him there for at least a couple more years before moving in.
The kids have moved on from Fortnite now. Institute a device ban on school nights and Rieko will be fine
-
@old-samurai-jack agree and a center sub if needed. Best to play him.

Nareki is small but when I watch him play at Super level, size is not his problem. I know test rugby is a different kettle of fish. My concerns around Nareki relate to his defence and his option taking. I don't think we should be picking him on the left wing yet.
Cheslin Kobe, best winger in the world, is smaller
and he is bigger than Shane Williams

@broughie come on bro! This is what you said...
@broughie said in Highlanders v Waratahs:
Commentator on Nareki: will he be an AB? Definitely not.
And then tried to double down on it by saying that super rugby isn't test rugby.
Saying one of the form wingers in the comp is definitely not going to ever be an AB is ridiculous.
-
@bones I might be wrong in that he won’t be an all black. He could be chosen. Again just expressing my opinion. You can call doubling down if you like. I just think I was being consistent. I don’t see him as an AB, I prefer bigger players especially at international level ( I can see other wingers running over him), need to watch him more but his defense was not good yesterday (but as I said I haven’t watch much rugby as they did not have a provider over here) and we have a glut of FB/wingers that Foster is more likely to pick because of utility value (barret and Jordan and Reiko).

Not as ridiculous as you crying about something you don't know or have any control over😪😉
He won't be an All Black because we don't need another halfback sized outside back. Simples😉

Ignoring the amazing irony, what the fuck are you talking about now?
That's your stock standard passive aggressive reply to a hypothetical disagreement isn't it.
There is nothing difficult to understand. It's obvious I'm talking about Satner or DeGrandhomme for the final!

If a toss up between Nareki and Rayasi for a squad member back, then I'd prefer they put some time into the latter. Both have the same kicking skills so mostly I think it's the old adage of a good big man beats a good little one.
Leicester is ahead of them both for development I suspect.
And call me a sizeist, but you gotta be big to play in the AB back 3, because we are regressing so defence is key for the ABs. -

Nareki is probably having one of those flash-in-a-pan seasons like Ben Lam did a couple of years ago. And do we miss him now?
Yeah have to agree. He has been around for a few seasons now and this has been his first properly good year. If he is just as good next year then mabie...

Except that he was just as good last year....

flash in the pan two seasons...out of two in super rugby

He wasn't that good last year was he?
I could be wrong but I don't recall him being good... or as good
