    The guy worth watching Meihana Grindlay like to see him get game time at 12 with Reiko outside him reminds me of a young Nonu

    I think Grindlay is better suited to 2nd 5 as he isn't a great distributor, and hasn't been from 1st XV level. His strength is running hard and straight.

      A young Nonu wasn't a 12's arsehole.

      Harsh but true.

      Makes his transformation even more incredible.

          if im honest i dont hate those qualities if we have someone like Jordie outside him, might get some front foot ball

              @george33 you'd have Christie starting over Roigard next year? And Jordie back to full back?

                Yes I would at this stage, Roigard exciting prospect but he's not there yet, and Jordie 15, just not sure even Razor will put Jordan at fullback just my opinion

                      Razor will play Jordie at 2nd five he likes him there from the Canterbury days he coached and had Jordie at 12.

                      Jordan will be FB under Razor.

                      Beauden not sure what the thinking is there 10 which is 100 times yuck or bench.

                      Grindley not in the picture imo.

                                      Christie, Beauden, Grindlay,Reiko, Talea, Jordan,Jordie looks ok probably dreaming on Grindlay but Razzor will have few Bolters and McKenzie of the bench with Roigard and ALB

                                      You're asking to get ridiculed with this post.

                                      Christie - NO
                                      Beauden - NO
                                      Grindlay - NO
                                      Jordie at fullback - NO

                                        @Chris maybe he will, but he's under restrictions

                                        what does that mean?

                                          After a test season not playing 10 then not playing Super Rugby 2024 (plus his poor form at 10 in recent years) there's no way he should be parachuted in at 10 for ABs.
