you mean collins? i like him, done a good job for otago perviously, at the moment im happy with just a safe pair of hands, we cant all have a barrett at the back

@KiwiMurph Yes, or maybe Walden has indicated that he is leaving the Highlanders after this season? His contract expires this year.
If he hasn't, this will certainly be a motivation to go looking for a contract somewhere else. He wouldn't look bad in the Canes midfield, where they need more leadership. Or maybe he'll be looking to earn some yen.

@Kiwiwomble Safe pair of hands? Collins is known for being notoriously shit under the high ball.

@Duluth @Tim @KiwiMurph @Kirwan
there you go, safe pair of hands. Excellent communicator.

He's probably fine at the lower levels. Was a complete failure at Super level. One of the worst selections from Tana.

as i say, beggers cant be choosers, i would prefer McKay or Koroi but as @Bones has said others think Mckay is even worse and Koroi is still new to the level and got a card in his only game, so i will settle for someone with 60+ NPC caps and 30+ super caps and just hope for a solid game
I'll admit im a bit bias, i respect he reportedly turned down NRL offers and offers to move north to play for otago

Well watching that poor northland lad dropping those high balls against us, or making weird defensive decisions, you at least would keep consistant with that part of the game plan if you selected him.
As a bonus you'll get lack of pace from the back with excellent communication.

@Kirwan i get it, you dont like him, you've made that clear
Ive seen him play well so i kind of feel im allowed to not be quite so jaded about it

That's fine, I've seen him play too. Just arguing with your comments about him (on a discussion forum).
He single handedly lost us games, so will always have a special place in Blues fans hearts.

i get it and ive never said the man is a super star, hell, never said he was even my first choice, even named too other people as preferred...so not sure why my stance of "could have been worse" needed to be argued with at all, im just glad gregory isn't there

@Kiwiwomble That's the Fern for you!

@Yeetyaah said in Highlanders v Crusaders:
@Kirwan was it last year or the year before when he fumbled a high ball and the opposite team scored and cost them the game. Can't remember the opposite team.
Crusaders? That one where he dived for the ball and missed by two metres, but had a nice view of the try?
So many to choose from.
