@Kiwiwomble Am I wrong, or has this been his best season for a few years?
@Tim I’d say he’d had pretty similar form for a few years, maybe slightly better this year, it’s like Ben smith...everyone notices him and thinks he’s suddenly playing well and all the highlanders fans are like “he’s been like this for years”

Nah he was definitely better this year - he used to be reliable at set piece and adequate around the field, used to be the definition of journeyman. He's definitely stepped up, especially ball in hand.

I think he’s been really good this year, but still good the past few seasons.
I was never a huge fan of him in his early career but he seemed to get better with age, and in an era of Parsons and Coleman having caps it’s sucks that he’s never had a shot.

He's so average my spellcheck can't even spell his name properly.

He's not had a great super rugby. He's performed well for the AB's most if not all the time though - I'd be interested to hear where he wasn't up to scratch.

I prefer to focus on the positives. He has a good beard.

Haaaaa to paraphrase "I've actually not ever noticed him playing for the ABs".

I think that's more insulting isn't it? I mean, I remember Parsons playing for them.

Last year was the reverse wasn't it? Coltman started and Dixon was on the bench. This year form dictated that Dixon had to start.

They’ve generally rotated previously

@Kiwiwomble and metres and carries! Frizzel showing well in a few MMT doesn't.
Interesting to see shit Nareki and shit Wainui feature a bit. Where are the canes wingers?
Edit: oh and Joane went nuts on the offloads!

@Duluth most of those were a bit shit, couple of proper belters though

And only one on the canes, and wasn't exactly a big hit, just a nice elbow fend
