There was a poster years back who used to call McCaw McGraw (something like that). Drove a few posters nutty.

Not sure if it was Mainlander, but I know he had issues spelling a few names so would just roll with whatever. Made me laugh.
The whole Messam thing will go down in Fern history as the funniest/it's so stupid issue ever.

I don't want to be a party pooper and there is no doubt that Jordie of the Barretts has some real talent but I haven't seen the same level of acceleration, tackle avoidance or eye for a chance that came with BB or has been seen from Ben Smith.
Early days yet and I probably be proved wrong.How much have you actually seen him play? Clearly not a great deal.
I just spent some time on youtube looking at highlights vids and haven't seen anything to make me change my statements. The kid does some outrageous offloads that come off (as he did the other night), but then so does SBW.
What I was getting at before was that with BB you will often see him create something when it appears like nothing is on. He has that ability to take advantage of quarter of a gap with a two step acceleration that leaves defenders looking at each other. When he plays 15 he will also appear from seemingly nowhere on a brilliant line (ala Cully).
Maybe JB will show us those talents as well.Jordie Barrett dominated club rugby in Christchurch last year like nobody I've ever seen in the last 20 odd years. Single handedly won games on his own for Lincoln University.
In the final it was pretty obvious that New Brighton thought their best chance of winning was to take him out, only result of this was that a player was red carded in the first 10 minutes. The physical attention didnt phase him.
I think it's only a matter of time before he's as dominant at Super rugby and test level rugby.
But then again, everyone on this forum has been wrong at some point about a player potential.

He does look outstanding. Easilly the best, most dominant, head & shoulders above other 12/15's at his curent levels since...

Maybe we can have a sub-forum where users can hang out and not feel judged about their dyslexia. A safe space.

What if you are a gender neutral dyslexic? Do you get a different safe space?

Without his hip bone spurs he would have been a super sub for the ABs at least for years

You should've probably used a 'you're' rather than a 'you are' there.
