Ratima, Proctor, Aumua and ALB probably the best for us in the first half.
Yup and the props in the scrum
Our lose forwards have been anon and shit. All the forwards not enough to forward in the tight. Beaudy had had some good injections from the beck
Jacobson has been very good, and taken line outs too
All done with his pants down too.. love seeing the waikato speeds out there

DMac is forever going to be one of those players people have a very entrenched view on. It is the way he plays is slight out the box, so naturally some won't like it.
Yeah I get the rocks and diamonds calls but I think his distribution is the best going around so depends on priorities I guess .
DMac hasn't been bad imo, and is probably the best option we have, but he isn't of the same standard of Carter or Barrett at his peak... I think people probably set unrealistic expectations.
No one compares to carter so those comparisons will always come up short beaudy included
I don't expect DC, but I do expect some form of decent tactical kicking and control

Kirwan on cue
"Who would have known Hotham's name at the beginning of the season"
What a dick JK up to his normal standards.

He's done his job, but not exactly 'very good'.

Kirwan sounds like Joe Biden

Not the complete package

Has Blackadder done much? Can't say I have observed him. He might be in tight though.
His first two times he took the ball into contact we lost the ball at the breakdown
Typical sort of Blackadder performance - busy but not especially effective
His best feature might be his hands in attack.
As usual though he hasn't played in a while.

I had him as the Messiah earlier in the year.
Perhaps prodigal son is the more appropriate moniker?
