Blackadder has officially overtaken Ngatai as the player who gets better by not playing.
And we've created a new award the Frizell 20 good minutes in 5 years and now instant pick.
Desperate times

that sounds more like Akira, Friz probably has 40 minutes to his name

There's no way the Fern anti Ioane brigade would ever hype up Akira - didn't he get MoTM in a test at one stage?

probably the day we all thought he was going to be the next messiah in that outing against Oz..

Haha, desperate times ...
And I can already hear the knives being sharpened, in case Blackadder indeed gets to play. In proper TSF way, every mistake he makes will be pointed out ad nauseam and how player X, Y or Z should have been selected instead, appropriately ignoring the good things he does on the field. GOM are going to GOM!

One of the most dominant votes we’ve ever had: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/4824/all-blacks-motm-vs-aus-iii
A bunch of 2nds, 3rds etc. Strangely he was actually first equal with J Barrett on the cumulative table that year (an anomaly because hardly anyone played multiple good games)

Yeah but only briefly, looks like he’ll ruin it by actually having to play
No one will ever “out Ngatai” Charlie Ngatai…..
-
If he gets selected, I hope he goes really well.
However, I do find the trust he enjoys from some on here, despite no warrantable form to merit, ironic considering that many of the same posters aim that arrow at Fozzy and his selection team.
-
@gt12 I think there's merit in having hope Blackadder will do well, but yeah, I find it strange to read "we don't need Cane" etc. Although I think he's the right player to receive the call-up, I'm not among the people who've been talking him up. I'm firmly on the "giving him a chance" side, but not with unrealistic expectations.

Funny how fast the “no dickheads” policy gets turfed when alternatives are thin and there’s a RWC on the line…

@sparky you cannot ever have a perfect combo with Savea at 8
-
I've a question about Luke Jacobson, does he only look good against lower sides at AB level? I recall him looking good versus minnows but against SA, France, Ireland etc? Maybe it also depends on if they play him at 6 or 8.
-
@Stargazer At least he's available for the QF.
