    For what it’s worth, I didn’t really rate TJ Faiane but the positive difference to the Blues set up and play was very noticeable when he was on the field as opposed to when he was out.

    A genuine second five-eighth.

    Say whaaat ?

    You mean a genuine inside centre?

    Fucking hurricanes fans.

    On a thread about under rated players bring up an established all black who is widely regarded as being one of the form players in SRA.

    Next it'll be

    Ardie Savea: because some people don't have him as first choice for all 3 loose forward positions.

    I think the best guys for this thread are the Crusaders loose forwards. Not big names, barely mentioned in dispatches, but perform their roles well enough for their team to win the comp a week early. None will he mentioned as unlucky when the AB squad gets announced.

    That's underrated.

    Oh, so this is a thinly veiled Crusaders fans' circle jerk thread then?

    That's underrated.

    Sanders especially looks like a horrible abrasive bastard to tackle. Douglas doesn't seem to show as much as he did a couple of seasons ago (when he ditched overseas halfway through a season?) but does a bloody good impression of Thorne.

    The name used is relevant to the style of player.

    A genuine second five is like when DC wore 12

    A centre is like Laumape, Goodhue or Faiane.

    I said exactly this and I didn’t get as many upvotes

    But you diluted the observation by mentioning Zac Guilford.

    A pisshead who stole precious caps off others? I also mentioned a white guy who looked like a sheep

    Nah.

    Your classic NZ crash ball 2nd 5/8 is like a Macrae or Osborne or Taylor.

    It's only recently when we've been playing 2 x 10s that people have adapted the term to having a second first 5/8.

    And a centre is Goodhue playing 13. There is no inside or outside.
