@Stargazer Only took us 15 years to forgive him for that certain forward pass.

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

It's the Guardian. You have to be one to work there. But that obviously isn't confined to them.
Why on earth would this dickhead choose the name of an infamous serial stalker as his pen name??

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.
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.
I'd also agree that's a fair summation. My crash ball merchant reference was solely in relation to his 2 performances in 12 in black this year, and clearly against Wales this was the game plan
To reiterate, I think he's been really good, has done what was asked for sure. Shored up that channel on D, provided a great crash option, I think Richie has really benefited from having him there.
Where I take a step back is when people claim his best attributes are his vision and distribution. I mean, thats just bollocks. He is a beast of a man, runs hard, tackles hard, great in the air, with a big (mostly) boot. But he has hardly been creative at FB, and while he made have done some playmaking at lower levels, we haven't seen it in black - yet. As we all know, it's a lot harder to be an effective creator at the top level- time and space aren't there, scrambling defenses are better - it's just harder to make great decisions and to execute on them.
Fingers crossed he gets the time to develop there now.

Didn't realise that. Makes him an even bigger cnut.

Lol Ferners saying he is a crash and bash merchant obviously didn’t watch him at 12 for the Canes this year and last year for that matter.
Jordie Barrett would be up there as one of the most skilful players in NZ. Questioning his passing game because Clarke didn’t receive much pill over the weekend is nonsense.

Might well be but it would make it a sick coincidence for him to post what he did. Guardian ran a podcast this year on the criminal Matt Hardy who just had his sentence reduced a year from 9 years. He terrified women. So to see the same name now posting online for women's rights is irony indeed...

It is his name, he’s a newish journalist, small time local outlet. Worth noting too that he didn’t write the piece, just tweeted it.

It's not a "sick" coincidence, it's just a coincidence. Do you know what the blue checkmark means?
