The only spanner in the works is whether they want to try ALB/Rieko in the midfield.
Thoughts on that???Tricky one for the Foster Co Op.
Do they stick with Reiko and hope he continues to improve or use ALB who, IMHO, is a world class centre with all the smarts but who lacks Reiko's pace? Will Reiko kick on with the solidity Jordie seems to provide at 12?
My guess is they'll use Reiko at 13 and ALB off the bench as they seem to favour continuity.

How many meters Frizell made with ball in hand ? If you remove the ones he lost when he was on the backfoot, the number should be very low. He has a big workrate, that's for sure, but his impact is not as great as the TV commentators tend to insist on. For those who are not on the Akira Ioane's bandwagon, there is MMT. He could be the answer for the 6 jersey.

JB looks to be a fixture in the 12 jersey with another v.good performance. It allows Beaudy to play 15 and have 3 playmakers plus a huge boot to take the pressure off Richie.
This. Don't need spectacular, just competent.
Lol you guys quoting and agreeing with a post that states Jordie is a play maker, while at the same time saying he's a crash and bash merchant that needs to work on his vision and passing game. Which is it? Can't be both.

a question for those with a but more knowledge, is it just me or do we not put our wingers in space as much as other teams seem too. CC was poor, and reece was quiet...but. it feels like we dont have any plays that are aimed at getting them on the outside of their man....old school winger with a head of steam and the white line ahead of them
if so is that us just thinking we can make more ground going through the middle with RI and jordie....or are we still struggling with defence coming up and opting to try and recycle?

For the last game, they started trying to go wide, and both teams dropping it in humid/slippery conditions moved the team to a more conservative game plan.

I think a fair comment could be that JB has shown how effective he is at crash ball and it will be interesting to see if he can also play the distributor in future tests. Stating categorically that he's just a smash and bash merchant and simply doesn't have the ability to distribute is pretty weird.

It's the Guardian. You have to be one to work there. But that obviously isn't confined to them.

Nah I’m a few years off on that one. I still haven’t forgiven Chris White and Kaplan for not awarding Mils that try in 2003.

@Crucial Don't know, but I assume it had to do with officiating his milestone game?
I think that part was obvious
