@Old-Samurai-Jack I've already seen people online writing him off, but I think those people should not forget that it takes time for players to get back from the bad injury Goodhue has had. Much more time than you'd think. I think that Fakatava, for example, has progressed much faster than could have been expected. Goodhue returned later and may take longer. Unfortunately, some players don't come back to their old form at all. I hope that's not the case with Goodhue, but - for the moment - I think people should show some patience.
I think Goodhue is good, but I have said for last couple of years probably a 12 because of lack of top end speed.
Something our maligned coaches identified a while back. They wanted his handling and nouse but couldn't see a long term future at 13 (in tier one)

And I dont think Jordan knocked on on half time ...
You're right. He knocked it on twice into the Qld player.
You're assuming:
a. I could see straight
b. My judgement wasn't impaired... -

Agree. He has always been a bit slow, even when he first came on the scene. Maybe 12 is his position now, but he will play it like an inside centre rather than a second five eight. If the ABs use him there they will probably need a player like JB, BB or Zarn Sullivan at fullback to play the old second five role (which they tend to do now anyway).

@chimoaus I stand by my right to be outraged
Your tights can't be as outraged as they want, your knickers in a bunch, but all the try calls were correct
I don't know what you mean ...

Crusaders should be up by more.
Having said that I am not particularly worried for them. The smart money has them running away with it in the final 20.
Probably put the mocker on them - which I am ok with. As a Highlander fan I would prefer to avoid them in the final.
So I got mocked for this but it turned out correct.
Since the only rely to that post was by me congratulating you on your own 'putting the mockers' on the saders call (as the reds scored straight after your post), I don't see how you were mocked?
Totally.
I shouldn't drink and post on the fern.

What about posting while hungover?
Ugh haven't been properly drunk like that in years.

Not a rule we should implement quite frankly.

Decent second half by the Saders. Bench did ita job. Dark horses for the title.
As I was saying..........
Look at Nostradamus here picking Crusaders as a possibility for the final.

Let me put it this way, I could have some fun looking at a number of posts by self-appointed Rugby experts on here who have been calling for Sam Whitelock to be sent to the knackers yard in recent months....
