We had an overlap and hands would have gotten us there, but nooooo,
This. Too much Fancy Dan stuff which doesn't come off when doing the basics would be more effective
This is his fundamental problem at the moment - he looks like a guy who will consistently take the most difficult to execute option - which makes him look good - when something more simple will suffice. There's no doubt he's very talented with a vast array of skills. His problem is his apparent determination to demonstrate those skills whenever he can, rather than simply execute the basic skill that will get the job done.
Great analysis and the same certainly applies to Jordie as well. What I loved about Jordie in SR this year is that he really went back to basics, and only chanced his arm when it was really on. He turned into a very solid player that can exploit opportunities, instead of always trying to do something miraculous when it wasn't on and making poor mistakes. Sticking him on the wing has caused him to go backwards.

@No-Quarter JB has suffered from playing out of position, simple as that. Same as Goodhue

it is almost like tactics have some bearing on winning games! Who would a thought?!

@Machpants
Clarke's finishing-he was inches from a try and pretty good in the midfield! -

Interesting take imo

Holy shit, that's the worst fanboi "article" I think I've ever read. I'm pretty sure either Richie or Beauden or one of their Dads wrote that .

Bit late to the game eh....
Taylor - what's going on mate?
Mounga - what's going on mate? Why is our go to move for him to run straight into the oppo? I'm pretty sure it's not and he's taking that option on his own.
Clarke - yeah bit hungus for my liking, but as a young fella in his first season on the wing, I don't mind the stick your head down and go for it tactics. Would hope to see him distributing a bit more in future. -

I like his all-round game. Much more to him than spectacular breaks a la Bled 2. Very sound defensively and under the high ball

@Tim well, personally i instantly dismiss any of these that shoehorns a player in to a position they didn't play "because they were too good to leave out"
also Savea is a joke surely. The fellating this guy gets from the media is unreal

Guess there weren't many options? Aussie kid didn't play many minutes and Argie 8 had trouble standing out against Matera and Kremer
-
@mariner4life I did see ALB stand as first receiver outside Mounga a few times, so that counts towards playing at 12, surely?
-
@mariner4life I saw another guy play at 8 that went ok. For the ABs, even.

Chaparro was monstered by Tupou. LH has to be Moody, or failing him, Slipper.
Think I'd take Alemanno OR Phillip, matched with Whitelock.
And hard to go past Matera as fetcher.
