    Surprise surprise I'm here to be a broken record again.

    Was hoping this year would be Rieko's "breakout" year where he really got it at centre. But his attack has seemingly gone backwards and while a small part of that is how he's being used, it appears a larger part is simply his inability to read the opposition and skills failing him under pressure.

    He uses fuck all footwork on the carry and pretty much always tucks the ball and puts his head down, runs straight at the defence, shit he makes it easy for the opposition.

    It's confusing - you'd think coaches would identify this and work with him on it, but something's not clicking there and he can't be ignoring them otherwise he'd be dropped, right?

    Same goes for a complete lack of kicking game. Rieko's been playing test rugby for a decade and hasn't developed even a hint of a kicking game. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've seen Rieko ever kick the ball.

      All speculation its not what I hear, very destructive talk.
      The Captain will be Scott Barrett 100%.

      We know who will be the captain. We are talking about who should be the captain.

        @Chris Barrett will be captain, and Reiko will be 13, just a done deal, like it or not.

                Although after a post just above I now have serious doubts Barrett and Ioane will even be selected.

                                The Captain will be Scott Barrett 100%.

                                We know who will be the captain. We are talking about who should be the captain.

                                In your opinion not the All blacks opinion.

                                Shit, you mean KM isn't the All Blacks and is just here posting his own opinion? What the fuck is the point then eh

                                To bitch and moan of course with no power over the issue of course.
                                That’s the point

                                So why are any of us posting on the Fern then?

                                For that reason to vent .
                                Nothing wrong same reason I posted my opinion.

                                I'm interested in opinions for Scott Barrett as AB captain that go beyond "that's who ABs will select".

                                  Fair enough but my opinion is he will be and there is nothing you can do about it.
                                  I am voicing that

                                    My prediction is S Barrett, Vaa'i, Tuipulotu & Holland will be selected for the French series. 1 of Darry, Ah Koui, Lord or Beehre to join for the Rugby championship

                                        All speculation its not what I hear, very destructive talk.
                                        The Captain will be Scott Barrett 100%.

                                        It most probably will be because at the end of the day Razor gets to make the decision. Doesn’t mean the players don’t gravitate and look to someone else though… and that’s a fact. Nothing destructive at all.

                                          @KiwiMurph If Ardie is the alternative then we have to consider Father Jack's advice:

                                          "That would be an ecumenical matter!"
