@Stargazer he's going so fast you could easily mistake 14 for 13 :upside-down_face:
@kiwi_expat first play is a forward pass

he can cover anywhere between 11-15 comfortably
He comfortably covers the midfield? First I've heard he even plays there
he's played quite a bit of rugby for BOP in the midfield
Narawa has played 37 games for BOP. Of those 37, he started 26 on the wing, 6 at fullback, 1 at second 5/8 and 2 at centre. He came of the bench in two games. So only 3 starts in the midfield and possibly 2 from the bench. I wouldn't call that "quite a bit". I'd call that "only a few".

@kiwi_expat come on man, Razor is the coach next year, you got your wish, you can stop with the bizarre claims now.
Telea is absolutely the form 14 of the whole comp, Weber is absolutely a running halfback, he isn't noted for his pace because of his amazing pass.

@mariner4life thats exactly where i am...all fun chat aside...i just cant see fozzie trying anything new unless he's forced too through injury
I can't think of anything that would surprise me more than him going against a decade and a half of collective experience and insight that experience is what matters at the RWC, not form.

Both of those articles have Aumua at hooker.
Not knocking his performance at all, he had a good game, but surely Sami T was more influential and stood up in the biggest game? -
Stuffs team of the weel
1 Hurricane
2 Blues
3 Highlanders
4 Chiefs
5 Crusaders@Winger i say without exaggeration we would be multiple places higher up the ladder if Nareki could keep injury free, make meters at will and his line speed and tackle technique were perfect

@Machpants said in Best players in SR this week:
I agree about Luke Jacobson, player of the round, even better than Talea imo
Considering his position and the opposition quality, he shone. Yes, his highlight run was a misread from the defence but his other work was awesome. Pity there is no decent stats site so we have to go from reported comments but I think he was around 20 tackles?
Telea also excellent but mainly through the skill of picking out when the Canes were set up like schoolboys. Canes really were a mess at times. Great to have that ability but may not get those chances often.

@Duluth where do you get the stats? would love to see what Nareki did
ESPN
https://www.espn.com/rugby/scoreboardPretty sure they use opta which is reasonably reliable
The UI is clunky. Use the calendar to find older games

The usual caveats about the stats. I usually keep an eye on them during a game but they only tell part of the story.
Where the opposition is concentrating their attack has a big impact. For example sometimes you see locks with huge numbers because the opposition has decided to go for pick and goes etc

I keep going there to look for stats but they removed the Statsguru entirely and make these one extra difficult to find.
I am really hoping that part of the Silverlake investment goes to better fan engagement via stats (onflow effect on discussions/comps/TV analysis etc). Relying on third parties is not the way.
