I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again in true TSF broken record form, Jordie was the best fullback in the team so it was only natural that they played there. Even more so when DMac went offshore.
best of the guys allowed to play there
There is no evidence he was better than Jordan would have been
There is evidence he's probably not as good as in-form BB, but at that point they still thought BB was a 10 -

Lunchtime ? If they were really dedicated they’d be drinking at the crack of dawn.
Surely, they should be happy that there is less time to pre-load?
As opposed to lunch with beers.

2021 he was first in the TSF's aggregate MOTM voting while playing fullback. He was one of the few players to have a strong year. 2022 he wasn't quite as good at fullback

I reckon last year he looked a little flat after playing a hell of a lot of minutes for the Canes.
There was huge excitement on here when they moved him from the wing to fullback and he made an immediate difference there.

178 + 145= 243
Stunning and brave.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond is disappointed with me

What people have omitted about Foster's current run of wins is that it is on the back of a remarkable period with almost no injuries.
The few injuries we have had have been forwards, where we do have a bit of depth.
An injury to Aaron Smith would be crucial. I suppose he might start Roigard, but Foster has rarely shown such courage.
Mo'unga too, given that I think he would move Beauden Barrett back to #10.
I like ALB, but he won't be the man we need to replace Jordie Barrett.
With Beauden Barrett at fullback, we need to have Mark Telea and WIll Jordan playing.
That's a lot of guys to keep fully fit for a stretch of six big matches.

Coaching the wobs might not be the paradise Eddie thought it would be.

Most of what he said made sense
