I dont't get the BB hate (well I guess I do from Canes fans). He'll be a strong option at fullback, and a great backup ten. Just looking at the injuries this year at ten, having three quality options is great for the squad.
If Plummer keeps this form up the person who should be worried is Perofeta.

I think the BB hate from last year was more directed at Leon.
He absolutely refused to even consider another option at 10 even though these days Beauden is a superior 15 than 10.
Will be interesting if Zarn sticks around given he is off contract I think.

@Kirwan it's not hate against BB, as a non Blues supporter I'm just saying it would be harsh on Plummer if he was able to do what BB failed to and win a title for the Blues at 10 and then lose his spot to a player that's clearly passed his best.

As a Blues fan, I want all three pushing each other to improve. If BB gets a shot and plays better, good for him.
Remember in 2014/15 people saying the same about Carter. He managed to put together an epic 12 months. Way too early to write off a player like him.

@Kirwan fair call, iron sharpens iron so to speak. Plenty of depth in a key position which is what you want aswell I guess.

Has NZs locking stocks ever been this paper thin ?
Yes!
Before Sam and Brodie there were many lean years.
Isaac Ross springs to mind.

So he was doing his job in the line outs at least

2000 with Blackadder and Maxwell springs to mind.

Blackadder was a terrific leader ( just not a genuine lock ) and Maxwell was a terrific player provided he had someone gruntier beside him. None of the young fellas around now inspire anywhere near that level of confidence.
Time for Ethan to follow in the old man’s footsteps, there’s too many good loosies to pick so it’s a no brainer really.
