@higgins said in NH club rugby:
And here is the Welsh report of the transfer. Incidentally Mr. Fifita will be missing from the Wasps lineup against Leicester on Sunday (Monday morning NZ time) as he has a touch of one of the Covid19 virus strains.
Still wouldn't be surprised if he ends up "finding himself" and becoming a star. He's certainly been on a downward spiral in NZ the last couple of years, but when he was in form it was definite shades of baby Kaino. If he discovered the ability to physically impose himself then he could go far.
@bones The real problem was the coaches at Super and NPC levels tied to coach him into a completely different type of player to that he was when he first burst onto the scene. You even had Messrs. Plumtree and Hansen openly stating he was a lock and blindside flanker only respectively and each steadfastly not playing him anywhere other than their particular preferred position. When was the last time you saw him ranging out wide like he did when he stared his First Class career when he either scored tries himself or created them with offloads to supporting players? Just a shame he did not opt to go to Japan where he would have been a superstar up there had he been allowed to use his size and speed against the diminutive little Japanese defenders.

@higgins I dunno, to me it seemed they tried to take a bloke with superb athletic ability and mould him into a useful first class player capable of being more than just a flat track bully on one side of the ball. Two ways to skin a cat so could have gone the way you suggest and use him out wide, but then you're just hoping he picks up the other stuff.
Would prolly be an excellent league player!

Nah, Victor was a loss.

Fucken knob - and a very lucky one at that. I almost hope England continue with him just to see the dickhead cost them dearly.
I guess Leicester weren't successful thinking being captain might make him grow up.

And to think, we have a long thread about how bad Stuff.co.nz is. They are a distant third behind Walesonline and Devon Lies, sorry I mean Devon Lives.

So head on head, no mitigation red.
Interesting another one againt
beerbellybarbeeryburberry? could've been red too, but got talked down to yellow -
Great result for Wasps
And after the talk of Wales’ impending doom in the 6N, Cardiff has no one to blame but themselves for the last second loss to Quins.
Should have been home & hosed against the English champions

Got that completely wrong which lessens my care factor that RCs are ruining the game.

Haha you can clearly see it on the line?...WTF, how can they get it so wrong or make shit up.
Another shit part of that final play, was a water bottle right there on the line, and when the Castre player was looking to run it, reserves were in the in goal area (assume Castre reserves)
