        @kiwimurph all the first fives the Blues have selected since 2003 have worked really well.!..to me the jury is still out on Plummer and Perofeta at super level Perofeta especially..!,Plummer looks promising but super rugby is a different level..Otere Black will definitely start as the Blues no1 but let’s not forget he was the number 2 at the Canes.
        Purely from a Northland piece delighted that Debreczeni has secured a contract,we have not had decent pivot at the Taniwha since David Holwell wore the 10 jersey.
        We don’t have the depth that Auckland has neither the money,so guys picking up contracts is huge as seen by the Tasmans of this world..!

          That is fucking terrible - the Chiefs need a slap for that signing.

          I guess he's theoretically available for NZ but he's not good and we'd be better to promote a young NZer.

            @nepia

            If he is third ahead of MMac I’m not entirely unhappy, but if they have not got Stevenson signed and are considering him as 15 cover, I’m going to ask Cooper to play a game of Rochampbeau.

                You know he's played Super Rugby before right?

                And he's Australian.

                    I know he was born in NZ, he's still Australian. I must admit I've only watched 4 Northland games this year but I don't think he's looked as assured as you're suggesting, just reminded me of his play at Super level.

                    Blues should have signed him since he's in your catchment area. 😉

                          @steven-harris Debreczeni was so bad for the Rebels this year they dropped him and shoehorned Hodge out of position at 10. And it worked. Hodge was far better (not a high bar).

                            That’s a good point, but is he likely to be better than MMac? That’s the question.

                              I haven't had a chance to watch the Northland-Waikato game yet but I can only assume Smith outplayed Debreczeni. I don't think I saw one Rebels games this season to comment on his performance at SR level.

                                That’s a good point too. I have seen more Nortklanf games than Waikato ones, except this last one.

                                    This will be the first game in the last 3 that Waikato have travelled to Whangarei that I will enjoy watching, and will last the full 80 mins. 🙂

                                        Debreczeni more than deserves a chance. Has done everything that would've been asked of any other 10 looking for a Super Rugby contract. Might not have been a roaring success at the Rebels but having that experience means he won't be overawed. Has plenty of upside for a coach to work with - size, good defence, big punt, accurate goal kicker and plays at the line

                                          It was goddamn weird. Just defensive lapses, and poor decisions. Highlight for Northland was when Ranger put in a late, hard shoulder on Waikato 15. Great shot, but the sort of thing that could wind up with a judiciary visit

                                          Okara with a bunch of people and sun is such a great venue. Really enjoyed the day out.
