I have some other somewhat harsh thoughts to post on Razor's season subsequently, so those who want to rush to label me an apologist can go fuck themselves.
Subsequent to what? Some of us are still awaiting this dollop of measured vitriol!

Reflecting on Holland, he's had an outstanding season. The kid is no frills, rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck in. We need more players like that, especially in the back row
I feel like he's got more to give too. I hope Jamie Joseph can turn him into a real bruiser because he certainly has the frame for it.

I suspect Joseph is looking forward to it!

Oh yeah. Barring injury, his ceiling is high. I have a feeling Beehre is another bruiser, we need more players with attributes like Holland

Ardie doesn't make the Breakdown world XV. Beaver says he picked him, Mils says he tried to pick him but ultimately didn't, Goldie says fuck that PSDT is the best 7, doesn't take a minute off, impactful, plays exactly the way a 7 should. Good on ya mate

He'll play anywhere you need him to play. And dominate

It would be fun to look back at some of the posts from 2023 - 2024 talking about how he would turn things around straight away
There was that loon who wrote long, gushing posts on how unique and wonderful Robertson was, wasn't there? Wanted Foster replaced before the knock-out stages of RWC2023 IIRC.
He quit in embarrassment then came back with a different account. Still thinks that every Blues player should be dropped. Real moron.
I’d keep Christie at least

Saffas usually have what we call a 7 in the No. 6. But, yeah, he's a 6/7.
Yeah PSDT has played on both sides.
PSDT, Matera and Earl are my trio.

Don't think PSDT has ever started a game on the openside?

from a Richard Knowler article onn stuff
"Last year Robertson retained veterans such as Sam Cane and TJ Peranara to provide experience but, with both now playing in Japan, had to go deeper into the playing pool this season."Oh my. The only issue we have is we can't play TJP and Cane this year!?
-
We've turned the corner apparently and all is well.
And international experience is suddenly important now, according to Robertson. Pity he and his loonie fluffers did't mention that when campaigning for AB Coach eh?
Last year Robertson retained veterans such as Sam Cane and TJ Peranara to provide experience but, with both now playing in Japan, had to go deeper into the playing pool this season.
"Until you have played or coached a test match, you don't know [what is required] until you have done it and so those guys are really valuable," Robertson said.

Jordan the best at 15? No Etzebeth?
PSdT named out of position, probably half a dozen better fullbacks than Jordan and the same for Furlong.
