    Yeah looks, I could understand these project/injury selections if it was in the wider squad for the RC/EOYT....but it's for a two test series against a RWC semi finalist with two weeks build up.

    I was hoping the era of mealy mouthed bullshit excuses had come to an end, it's disappointing and frustrating to feel that same old same old.

      Did Savea actually want the job. Maybe he told Razor he didn’t want the pressure and so he went with Scooter.
      Sotutu showing his true colours with his instagram post. Suck up your non selection and be better. You obviously didn’t listen to the work ons Razor gave you. He challenged you and now you’ve cried over your non selection. You’ve shown him he was right for not selecting you. Mentally weak

        Yeah I know in my job I'd have been let off the hook if I didn't get the promotion I wanted and ignored the boss for days. I mean at 24 you can't expect to be an adult! 🙄

            @Kiwiwomble I thought "Most hated" was a reference to people who don't like the Blues, not the ABs selectors.

              It’s not like he was his boss was it? He doesn’t work in the same office as him. Doesn’t see him at the blues on a daily basis or have contact with him on a daily basis. He is in charge of a team that you aren’t selected for, essentially saying. We don’t want you in this team.

              It’s pretty narcissistic of Ryan to kill someone’s career and then make it all about him because he didn’t get a call back from the person he just killed, and make it public news.

              Where’s the compassion for someone and realise that people are different and that he just may need some space before speaking with the person.

                is that what people are butt hurt about? thats what i thought it was about, the old "i support two teams, insert your team and anyone playing Auckland"

                  What a load of shit. Crafty Comb just wanted to select his Crusaders mate, nothing Sotutu can do about it - certainly can't do any more on the field. That post was restrained compared to what I would posted to the fat fuck and combover muppets.

                    Yes. He's spoken before of the deep honour of captaining the national side. Given Scott Barrett's history with injuries, I's be amazed if we don't see Ardie Savea captaining the ABs in a test at some point this year.

                        @sparky He’s not going to say publicly he doesn’t want the job. I agree he will captain the team at some stage this year.

                            Better than what, himself as the best 8 in the competition? I can't imagine calling a loose forward with his stats at SR level mentally weak. But we're probably not the legend you are.

                                    Ok, cheers. From your post it seemed that you knew there were work-ons and that you knew he didn’t attend to them.

                                    It’s probably just because you often have the good oil I read more into it than I guess you meant.

                                      @Kirwan you do realise he selected Sititi over Sotutu. So nothing to do with Crusaders bias.
                                      That doesn’t suit your narrative though does it.

                                      you were asked about your narrative. How do you know there were workons, what were they?

                                      Edit: ah you answered. So you don't know.

                                        @gt12 I have no idea. I’m not in the know.

                                        Ok, cheers. From your post it seemed that you knew there were work-ons and that you knew he didn’t attend to them.

                                        It’s probably just because you often have the good oil I read more into it than I guess you meant.

                                        @gt12 no I just heard on radio today that they’d had a meeting and Razor gave him work ons. Then all he said was we went with someone else. I took that as he hadn’t achieved the work ons.
                                        I know a massive thing they talk about with loosies, is not being a Log. I’ll leave all you blues supporters to work out what that is.

                                          Darry left the Crusaders longterm plans-so he's out. Akira and possibly Hoskins won't be at the Blues next year, two of their best ... hard not to see a long term tinfoil hat plan here. I don't know what the conspiracy theory is regards A J Lam and Plummer mind..
