    Reflecting on Holland, he's had an outstanding season. The kid is no frills, rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck in. We need more players like that, especially in the back row

    Our defence is shit; season stats, of all our tackles this season, 5% were dominant contact (5!), 35% were ineffective contact, 60% neutral contact (FUCK ME)

    Every segment ever of Smash Em Bro to be compulsory watching for every All Black over the summer.

    A few sessions with James Fisher Harris might be in order

    @canefan Bringing back Dalton Papalii would help with those dominant tackle stats next year.

    Mils tried very hard not to say Mark Robinson's tenure was shit. Goldie being very diplomatic, they all agree commercialism has been at the expense of on field performance.

    Might need some serious fence mending if the rumours are to be believed

    @canefan An All Blacks coach needs to be a big enough person to pick up the phone and work it out with his best players.

    I have some other somewhat harsh thoughts to post on Razor's season subsequently, so those who want to rush to label me an apologist can go fuck themselves. 🙂

    Subsequent to what? Some of us are still awaiting this dollop of measured vitriol!

    I feel like he's got more to give too. I hope Jamie Joseph can turn him into a real bruiser because he certainly has the frame for it.

    I suspect Joseph is looking forward to it!

    Oh yeah. Barring injury, his ceiling is high. I have a feeling Beehre is another bruiser, we need more players with attributes like Holland

    Ardie doesn't make the Breakdown world XV. Beaver says he picked him, Mils says he tried to pick him but ultimately didn't, Goldie says fuck that PSDT is the best 7, doesn't take a minute off, impactful, plays exactly the way a 7 should. Good on ya mate

    He'll play anywhere you need him to play. And dominate

    Yeah it's ass-about.
    Ensure a quality on field performance, and that'll look after the commercial side.

    Saffas usually have what we call a 7 in the No. 6. But, yeah, he's a 6/7.

    It would be fun to look back at some of the posts from 2023 - 2024 talking about how he would turn things around straight away

    There was that loon who wrote long, gushing posts on how unique and wonderful Robertson was, wasn't there? Wanted Foster replaced before the knock-out stages of RWC2023 IIRC.

    He quit in embarrassment then came back with a different account. Still thinks that every Blues player should be dropped. Real moron.

    I’d keep Christie at least 😎

    Yeah PSDT has played on both sides.

    PSDT, Matera and Earl are my trio.

    Don't think PSDT has ever started a game on the openside?
