@Duluth Exactly. The amount of traffic Blues gameday threads get especially after we lose to let us know about it is a lot which there's nothing wrong with of course. It'nothing to sulk about though.
@Stargazer Yeah and? When you support a team that hasn't made the finals for 8 years, supporters of that team are going to criticise under performing players on a sports forum that's usually how it works.
@Bones And so are you

Hah fucken hell, what a load of shit. Just like "big sulk". I see you appear to be one of those that must find offense in everything, the way the world is going eh!
I am what?

@Bones A sensitive wee soul
Oh, how so? Am I one of those many, many posters that see the blues lose and deliberately go on tsf, find the blues thread and give them grief about losing and criticise their Auckland players? Probably eh, they're bloody everywhere!

Collins is actually a pretty decent counter attacking fullback, but his kicking game is terrible, and he makes a lot of unforced mistakes. Positioning is often poor too.
I think you are being too kind about his counter attacking. A couple of good moments offset by his brain farts

When he gets moving forward he links very well and is good at finding space for others. Some brilliant brain farts, I'm picking they'll disappear.
He pulls the right faces though.

I remember hearing how much Tevita Li was going to carve up at the Highlanders once he got out of the Blues. Then he become a comedic target by Highlanders fans on here.
Who was saying that? Sounds funny but I can't imagine there being much evidence to back it up.

@Stargazer replacement for Rayasi next year at the Canes due to him being away with the sevens?

Which is where he started his FC career before somehow being converted to fullback somewhere along the line. So I agree.
When he signed for the Blues he was being talked about as a utility who was primarily a midfielder.
In his first pre-season he only played at 12 and did a good job. When the regular season started he moved to fullback. Dumb. -

@Duluth yeah I remember him as a young centre for Otago. I predicted big things. Little did I know just how big.
I remember the hype around him as a midfielder, clearly it was just you
, so I did find it hard squaring that with the guy playing fullback at the Blues. -

His play at fullback was comically bad, my favourite being him diving into the turf, tripping over his own feet and watching the ball bounce in front of him and the other team scoring while he was still on the ground.
He was the most consistent howler generator in Super Rugby. At least one in every game.

So I take it you can't back it up then?

@Bones Tevita Li was one of the kids that was supposed to be the next coming , but from what I could see his game never found consistency or improvement to take him to another level , pace for Africa ,but prone to the most outrageous mistakes .

@Steven-Harris when I watched him at age group i thought he was gonna be a star for the ABs...nope
