Best players in SR this week
-
If we naming players from weekend's game, and not naming Abs in anyway. A few that impressed me were Stevenson, Telea
Nankivell did some good stuff,
DMac was fairly good as were both Weber and Roigard.
Ardie,Frizzell and Cane were loosies I noticed doing some good work
BBBR and Vai'i were best of locks, though PT was not bad either
Lomax,Malfeso and Aumua were a front orw unit I enjoyed.
Just my opinion on how I look at games, and see everyone else's points too. I don't even consider AB selection as part of it this early in year. -
If we do a complete team....
Ravutaumada
Telea
L Aumua
J Barrett
Masi
DMac
Roigard
Savea
Papalii
Blackadder
Retallick
Thrush
Nonggorr (only watched first half so...)
Ikanivere
De Groot -
I thought that Parkinson was better than Dickson for the Highlanders. The latter still gives away some dumb penalties.
I'd pick IWL as the other lock myself.

came in just to say this (little else the highlanders can contribute except maybe ainsley's scrummaging), dickson was prominent as he was often the pillar for the first pod.....but PPP quietly just went around the field grafting, as im mentioned, his one man counter ruck was amazing

Did anyone else waste their time watching The Breakdown crew rave about Fakatava's performance? It is amazing how so many people can say so little in so much time.

Jealousy will get you nowhere. How's the achilles?

According to this only 1 penalty (IWL)
But 13 tackles and 4 missed. Too many missed but otherwise Ok stats. Blackwell also was fine based on these stats. Unsure how accurate these stats are though

@Winger I can't take that team seriously when Sowakula and Laulala are chosen.
I wasn't going to post this team but at least they (or whoever did it) agree on many of the players discussed. But more love for the Chiefs and Blues and less for the Canes than the other teams that were posted. The sky sport twitter team seems to have disappeared that I though was good (except maybe at HB)
This one above

Here's the rugbypass version
They are looking at Aussies as well, not just NZers

As much as we give him stick I would say that TJs TOTW is probably closest to what we would end up with through voting.
I saw a Rugby News one that was shocking. Simply spraying around an even spread to try and keep all supporters happy. -
@Bones said in Best players in SR this week:
@Crucial Weber was head and shoulders the best halfback. Not sold on the centre.
Weber was the best of the week yes, Roigard and Christie weren’t too far behind, Fakatava was all over the place and Drummond, well he was forgettable as per usual.
Jorgensen and Toole were pretty awesome for the Tahs and Brumbies but Telea was the standout winger on week 1.
