Was really impressed last year when he deputised when Roigard was out but maybe it’s just me
Don't get me wrong mate, he was pretty handy, just I don't really think he is a real high level 9. That is the case with a bloody lot of good players we got in the country, and absolutely no insult to them. I think perhaps Viljoen could evelop a snappier pass, and pick his times to break or angle he runs, he tends to get isolated at times. Once again that's not real bad, and these things could come to round him off as a top level 9.
Seems a bit harsh, was my POD against Harbour, he's young and has a higher ceiling than the likes of Preston etc, although probably will be overtaken by Jai Tamati anyway.
Why does he have a higher ceiling? Yet another bit part canes player selected to the universe XV that would crush the world XV.
I'm completely neutral in this discussion, as a Highlanders supporter, but apologies if I hurt your feelings. He's a 21 year old, early in his career, who in his limited opportunities has bossed players considerably more experienced than he is. Preston is 26 and in his first season, and was immediately moved to the bench once Hotham was fit and healthy.
No feelings hurt, I was just asking the question...as a highlanders supporter
I've definitely missed the bossing though.
Mate, he absolutely humiliated... Um... L Campbell, on Friday night, he's All Blacks ready.

so he'll miss 2026 super season....maybe play NPC but probably go with the AB's...then one super season and a RWC in 2027?

If i was DMac i would have my agent on the phone now and get the fuck out. Take that money Damo, and cheers for the Chiefs memories.

yeah play NPC 2026 he has signed with Canterbury then go on the 2026 EOYT.SR with Crusaders 2027 play the WC then probably back to Japan in 2028.

We'll be waiting till 2028 to see the All Blacks begin developing a new first five. That is extremely depressing.

cant say i like the whole idea if swooping back in just for a RWC

Not my favourite situation either.

Damian shouldn’t have turned down that R360 deal

If Razor throws Mo’unga the keys and he doesn’t help us deliver another WC title, Razor can pack his bags in my view. He can live and die by the ‘Crusader’ sword with this move.

Today's episode is brought to you by the letter M, m is for mercenary

@Kirwan said in All Blacks 2025:
What a terrible precedent for a very average player. I wouldn't even have wanted a mercenary deal like this for Carter, and Ritchie is no Dan Carter.
Feels more like the Lucky Lucre deal. Acid will be on Richie and Razor for this to work

-
and are we going to be developing a gameplan that might not work right now....but will 100% click when RM slots back in?
-
in all honesty he plays the same as the 2 guys we have now so it shouldn't be an issue.
