    JK is definitely sounding a bit Abe Simpson on this one. Didn’t he fuck off and play overseas on a regular basis ?

    He played league FFS!

    Like I said though. The headlines make no sense but he used them to grab attention to the real points he was making. Typical media tactic now days.
    The odd person might watch the show now because they think they might hear something controversial. Instead they will just hear rambling opinions.
    They could just come here for that.

      @crucial That backup was meant to be Fakatava, but then he got injured. I haven't seen any other young player who is of the same level as Fakatava.

      @stargazer after NPC last year I would have had Nock up there, different player to Fakatava, but was probably right behind him as form 9s of NPC.

      But he hasnt really fired up this season, and with him, Christie and Ruru playing musical chairs at the Blues, I dont expect any of them to get a real chance to put up thier hands.

        Nor have I but would I make TJ a low short term offer in order to have the money to offer Fakatava a long term one plus room to add in A.Nother?
        Yep.

        What's Taufa Funaki doing progression wise? He was one for the future wasn't he?

              TJ Perenera was poor for the ABs last year. Big personality, lots of experience, but I would be using 2021 to blood younger Half Backs instead.

              BBBR and BB should clearly be part of the AB squad and leadership group once available. Class acts both.

                @sparky yeah he was great for the canes, as playmaking nine, but was average for ABs. A few cool moments of turnovers and such - he's really good at that, but shite service.

                      @stargazer I got an invite yesterday from a sponsor for a Barbarians game against Samoa that is happening at the end of November at Twickenham. Very strange that the NZRU can't reveal anything much about tests that are set to happen in July, August and September.

                        @sparky That may have to do with COVID and the resulting uncertainty about fixtures in that window.

                                Possible becuase the NZ government keeps f***ing about with that they are doing?

                                  A Samoa v Baabaas game is probably all NH based players. Slightly different than arranging international matches.

                                  Seems weird to get pissy about this considering what has been going on in the world.

                                    Only trouble with that Crucial, Fakatave maybe out for year, and apparently if doesn't represent ABs this year he miises window and can't play until 2023. Eligibilty rues or something.

                                      @crucial That backup was meant to be Fakatava, but then he got injured. I haven't seen any other young player who is of the same level as Fakatava.

                                      Nor have I but would I make TJ a low short term offer in order to have the money to offer Fakatava a long term one plus room to add in A.Nother?
                                      Yep.

                                      What's Taufa Funaki doing progression wise? He was one for the future wasn't he?

                                      Only trouble with that Crucial, Fakatave maybe out for year, and apparently if doesn't represent ABs this year he miises window and can't play until 2023. Eligibilty rues or something.

                                      If they are going to be that fluffybunny -ish about the rules, why don't we name him to start a test and send him out there in a knee brace, and get him to stay on the sideline until the opening whistle, then fall over one second into the game, to be replaced by A smith?

                                        @gt12 probably better off selecting him to do the same in the 7s (if there's a tournament this year)?

                                          @gt12 Or bring him on in the last minutes of the last game of the year (or organise an easy one against a tier 5 country), replacing a winger, so he can just stand close to the try line and run up and down the field a bit?
