It didn't look at all good, but not as bad as the MJ injury or the Gerald Willhite or Joe Thiesmann ones in NFL or the David Busst one in football (it took 7 minutes to clear the blood from the pitch after that last one).

He had 2 ACL injuries didn’t he?
The one thing that takes the most time with ACL is speed to return.
It took Virgil Van Dyk at 18 months to finally get back to the player he was before his ACL and a large part of that was regaining speed. If you don’t have the speed you once had, you lose confidence and have to change your game.

@DaGrubster been there done that! In my early twenties I needed to change my running style due to chronic injury - basically running on my calves when I was lucky to be 70kg wasn't the same as when I was 90kh. One of the hardest things I've ever done.

30 years ago it was a career ending injury wasn’t it?
It’s generally considered the worst injury for a sportsman to suffer.
I have had my fair share of knee injuries. You don’t realise how critical they are to everyday life until you can’t use one!! 😡

@Windows97 Christie/ Beauden was probably going to be starting halves anyway, with Roigard of bench maybe,

You have the inside word on Razor's thinking or imagining it? -

No way, Roigard would have been the top halfback hands down. If not, the coaches have rocks in their head. Christie is just so damn average, anyone with half a brain can see that.

Anyone keen to donate?

You know Christie is shit when even the Auckland boys on this forum are very quiet about pushing his case.

i think Roigard's "issues" at the world cup have been really overblown
-
@Kiwiwomble Don't think so, he's young and will progress but he wouldn't b in my top 1-3 half's at test level yet , sorry Canes fans ,

@george33 you think at best he's the 4th best halfback in NZ? i dont think its just the canes fans you'd be disagreeing with
- Aaron
- Luke
- Smith
- Roigard

@george33 loves to wind up the Fern with his delusional comments. I don’t think anyone takes him seriously after the garbage he spun at the start of the year. He’s already wound Canes fans up enough this year.
Not only is Roigard by far and away the best halfback in the country, the commentary team even said he’s clearly the best player in the competition. The other player that’s probably close to him is his flat mate.
