Not that I think anything will happen, but for me the best fullback in the squad is still Jordie.
hot take!
So now there's 6 fullbacks....

Robertson was asked earlier this week and said he sees Jordan as a fullback who can cover wing. Which aligns with how he selected the Crusaders.
So that means we currently have four fullbacks - Perofeta, Barrett, Love, and Jordan.
They should have picked Plummer to develop a second first-five because going back to Barrett is total back to the future vibes.
Plummer would have been a better bet either way, he's not going to be any worse at 12 than David. He's definitely more physically equipped.
Calm down Neps. Enough is enough. He’s not exactly Andrew Merhtens. He was actually a reasonably big fella when I walked past him in the airport.

Mehrtens was an AB 12?

DH is another player who in recent times has been kissed on the dick a lot more than his ability would suggest he deserves

four fullbacks
four hybrid opensidesthis is certainly some recipe. i can't wait to see what the master plan is

It would have made more sense to pick Paps, Cane and RD, and thrown in Finau and three other blokes big enough to challenge him at six, which is where we're weak!

I hope TWM have rung Hoss to ensure he's on standby in case of any niggles.

and i seriously question the viewing of Finau as a lock/6

A break glass in case of emergency lock if no-one else can play there is about Finau's level at lock unfortunately.

@Windows97 you must have seen a lot more than me. He looked very good there for Waikato in 2020 before he switched to flanker.
