          @Machpants well sadly many pointed out losing to the Argies, possibly losing the Bledisloe and then at least a couple on EOYT this year as being on the cards too...

          we are in for ALOT of hurt in the next few months.

            Mr. Foster's record this season must be asterixed as he has not had the benefit of three 100 point warm ups against any Pacific Island Nations this year so his record could easily read five from nine and hey presto that a winning percentage. Having said that what would previously have been 100 pointers are now probably reduced to 50 pointers given his performance levels.

              True, but that also backs up the 'cattle' part of the argument in our poor results.

                was it last year there was hype about 'most points in a calendar year', conveniently ignoring the multiple tier 2 and 3 teams we played to run up cricket scores.

                And who could forget Tonga rolling over our forwards for a maul try ... a harbinger of things to come.

                  I can see George Bell being fast tracked sooner rather than later.

                      Bell looks like the best prospect coming through.

                        He scored a hatrick v Australia Under 20s only recently, he is a very strong young man. He scored an amazing last minute try v Western Force this year. He is also playing really well for Canterbury at NPC level.

                              He needs to start at SR level though. If Robertson keeps picking Taylor it’ll be hard to make it based off cameos

                                Does he,Coles comes to mind for me but I see the Fitzy comparison too.
                                Bell is a tough we mobile bugger.

                                  At least Jason Ryan will be very familiar with him.

                                    I think that might start happening next year, Bell starting.
                                    He gives me the impression of once he gets a start he will keep it.

                                        @Kirwan yep, was real dumb and dirty. On top of it being absolute dirt he left a man unmarked on the outside to do it.

                                        Easy to see why he's struggled to make the step up if that's his attitude.

                                          He needs to start at SR level though. If Robertson keeps picking Taylor it’ll be hard to make it based off cameos

                                          @Duluth although there are other examples of players making the ABs from the bench of thier Super team
