    @act-crusader ...the dropping of Cully. The whole Mitch era really.

    Henry over Deans in 2008.

    The Hammettuer thread - you did great service at keeping that one going and going.

    I don't like to see wrong-headed thinking prevail! 🙂

    I know, yet it did for four years before the Canes saw the light and appointed a new coach and won their first Super trophy. 😉

    Just a pity that the cleaning lady found Hammer's blackboard after that! 🙂

    It must have been partially scrubbed ... because they made the finals.

      @tim my favourite one from Sunday didn't result in a try because think Nanai kicked it dead. But he smashed some bloke, dislodged the ball, regathered the ball, and then moved it on instantly. Physicality and skill.

      Definitely the 14th best loose forward in the country...

      @mariner4life I'm just waiting for Luke Whitelock to grow a new body and become the physical test loose forward we know he can be.

                        It seems Bridge is the one who they have their eye on to compete for Jordie's spot.

                          3/8s of fuck all really. Cost us a test.

                          And as far as i can see from the Fern, has gone from being the ABs nailed on fullback for the next 10 years (except for the loons who think he's a 12) to being overtaken by some bloke called Jordan in 18 months.

                                    I guess it was him or Bridge - I think most people are 50/50 on that? I'd like to see Alaimalo in thre but I only have enough man rage to focus on Akira at the moment.

                                      If they're going for a Ben Smith type of player, Bridge makes more sense than Alaimalo. Bridge has also been more consistent in his performance throughout the year. I think Alaimalo is a good prospect for the future, but I think that will be after the RWC at the earliest. Bridge is basically taking Duffie's spot from last year, who is also similar (in role and in built), but has been very average this year.

                                        Jesus, every hour Akira gets more and more legendary as the most amazing player in the world ever. Poor old Gibson, so easily forgotten.

                                        Perfectly valid to want to see what he could with an AB forward pack in front of him. The same chance that Whitelock, Frizzel, Fifita, Squire, Savea and now bloody Evans have had.

                                        I agree wholeheartedly. However, that's not what my post was aimed at - the hype being built up around a player that occasionally looks very good at super level is ridiculous. This is blowing the Ngatai nonsense clean outta the water.

                                        Edit: The coaches have different plans for him - at least they have plans. As I said earlier, I really won't be surprised if they break him out for the RWC, when no bugger has had a chance to have a good look at him and see how he's being used.

                                          @broughie said in AB EOYT 2018:

                                          @bones very unlikely that they would use him in the World Cup. This is not there MO.

                                          Probably wouldn't use a fresh as winger from another code either?
