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

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.

Bell is a real talent he reminds me of a Young Dane Coles.

[KiwiMurph]

@Chris He reminds me a lot more of Fitzy.

[Duluth]

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.

I'll pass on this guy;

What an idiotic tackle attempt.

[Toddy]

@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.

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

Holy fck, pls tell me he copped a 6 week ban for that??.

[Kirwan]

@voodoo apparantly it was only a yellow too, have to wonder what you need to do to get a red? Kill him?

[Stargazer]

@voodoo He only got a yellow card, but may have been cited. We usually only find out if a journo can be bothered to mention it somewhere in an article, because NZR don't publish judicial decisions.

[Rapido]

Aumua showing some great determination to not allow Codie Taylor to be dropped. No way that stays a yellow.

I Agree he is a Red card waiting to happen .That was just another cheap shot by him.

Hopefully not this side of RWC23. He’s building into pro footy. Let’s see what happens with any SR opportunities. He’ll be 3rd or 4th choice next season

at least 3rd choice as he has a 3 year Crusaders contract next season.

With McAlister very injury prone and extra AB rest protocols being WC year for Taylor.
Bell will get a few starts and be in the 23 quite regularly.

He is already having a strong NPC for his first year.

Bell is a bolter for WC a lot of interest around him.

[broughie]

@Kirwan that’s bad. He was having a good game otherwise.
