    @Duluth Dickson looked good on Saturday.

    Strange and Parkinson are still very young guys - both 23. They're not yet established in Super rugby - I don't think either is ready for international rugby.

    Every year we read about how we don't have replacements for players x,y,z... then 5 minutes later a new superstar comes onto the scene, or someone unexpected steps up.

    Last year it was we don't have any 8's to take over from Read, suddenly we've got a couple of young fullas in Sotutu & Mikale Tu'u who look the goods.... and a guy called Savea also goes alright there.

    She'll be right lads!

    Yeah and his form has been good for a while now

    Playing for a struggling team means he doesn't get mentioned much.

    Also, he used to be a beanpole and it takes a while for people to change opinions on a player. There was an article from a few months ago talking about how he went from 108 to 118kg

    @Machpants got any tasty hats?
    Robinson must be in the AB frame, what else does he have to do? They have been after a geniune lock/blindside for years now.

    Stay fit 🙂 The way he gets around the paddock I don't back him to play a full season at this level. Hopefully wrong as I love seeing him play, but not sure that he's the sort of player with a long term career due to physical damage

    I don't really get this. We watch guys like Kaino, McCaw and Read absolutely thrash their bodies and other people's for years. But this guy won't be able to handle a season?

    Yeah, Robinson surely has to be in the mix. The guy is big, physical and has a huge engine. We need a token ginge anyway for diversity. Actually, as much as I hate to say it, the Blues loose forwards are turning out to be match for anyone this year.

    For me, it's not just the individual players, it's the combination.

    Would be good if Foster could settle on a loose trio and stick to it for more than 1-2 games. Just don't want to see what's happened at 12 & 13 over the last few years repeated at 6-8.

    I like what I've seen from Ah Kuoi on Saturday. He is very dynamic and seems to have a big engine. However, he looks more like a 6 than an international lock IMO.

    Aw, it's just the way he flings himself around. I hope I'm wrong, but those boys were more controlled I think. Also, he broke last season, and seems to get knocks during games occasionally.

    Let's see how he goes; just seems to be in awkward positions at contact

    But back on topic, Vaea Fifita, a great day in the nations capital to try and prove you can be an effective tight forward !

    Tru Dat, BUT the chat was about bulking up a 6' 9" string bean, and, as article pointed out, Mountain went from 230 to 390 pounds!
