I’m really not sure given Reiko is no longer viewed as a centre if he warrants a place as a winger moving forward
The lack of vision to link with anyone is concerning can be very thankful their are injuries around the squad and someone like Tangitau is injured
Not trying to be troll regarding Reiko but I do wonder if there.s better options -
Remember the fun days when we used to completely bury teams in the last quarter

But that’s when we were playing against plumbers and electricians*
*if you love a good MJ vs LeBron GOAT debate
The way I see it, there’s really not a huge difference between the skill of players in the Tier 1 nations these days - and I’m talking about the top 30-35 players. So to put big scores on you need things to both click and for the opposition to do dumb stuff.

Not trying to be troll regarding Reiko but I do wonder if there.s better optionsAgreed. He may be a great team man and very committed, but he isn't that quick, substandard distribution, no kicking game, no high ball ability.

Not trying to be troll regarding Reiko but I do wonder if there.s better options@Steven-Harris His value is now utility and experience - can slot in at 11/14/13 and do a job - useful squaddie but ideally as a starter you want more

how do people rate Narawa? I missed the very start but he looked involved and fairly solid.

Was good. Very few if any errors. Got involved. Looked dangerous.

I think he'll be an impact/bench player eventually. But we still need him as a starter given the current number of injuries to three-quarters.

Maybe bench covering wing and center
Fuck all impact though -

@KiwiMurph fair point

“How are you enjoying your time in New Zealand?”
The question you ask when you can’t think of any other questions.

"Are you glad you avoided Hamilton and only came down for the game"?

This is a positive win. What do I like? Some awesome players coming through… I want to see more of Proctor, Tavatavanawai and Holland. Yes, not the final product, but a good win

Big Jim can stay. He's quite clearly a postgame party animal.

Saw one picture of thr NPC team and the initial training sessions. Looks like he is still on the shelf

I think the AB I was most disappointed in was Ratima. Back-up half back is a competitive position. If he can't do better, he'll need to be replaced.

He's no Christy.
