Surely the experience of BFA trumps the potential of JB?
Horses for courses approach in the centres and I guess that entirely depends on tactics. SBW with ALB/Goodhue speaks to manipulation being the key while ALB with Goodhue speaks to banking on using fast ball and creating mismatches after a phase or two.
Personally I would go SBW/ALB with Goodhue on the bench.

@Crucial huh weird I swear I've seen footage of him in the pale blue and white. Yet he captained Rongotai. Go figure.
That’s right, Rongotai, not the paddies.
Not many graduates of UH schools make it to the highest levels although now mullets are acceptable (Goodhue) the signs are promising.
Thomas, Scooter and Aaron beg to differ.
Aaron?
CJ is the only UH AB of recent history
Persico. The almighty Italian.
What's recent exactly?
I wasn't going to go back to the Leslies or Kirton, or even Mannix..
even Thomas the tank engine played his last test for the noms 19 years ago!
The point is that there is hardly a great production line, just the odd few that come through
I'm astounded he last played for England when he was about 16. How bloody old was he when he debuted?
13
(if you want the real answer it was 6 years ago)
Depends on if you think his Wainui birth certificate is correct or not eh.
Yeah, most of these SPS boys aren't really Upper Hutt. Just visitors from the lower reaches.

Ardie went to St Pats Town didn’t he? Def. not from the Upper class of the Hutt.
He does look like he is modelling for a Panhead can design though.

@Crucial Probably not helping the cause there.
Jealousy eh?
It's not everywhere that can convert an abandoned tyre factory into a brewery that does brisket burgers...

My Aussie mate text me during the haka of the first match at the RWC and was remarking how hot that guy leading the haka was, I assumed she was talking about TJ, but nope she meant Read. Aussie bogan chicks are weird (there I go with the superfluous word bogan again, but then again I guess possums are protected species over here.
Oh right. You're making that statement in light of Hutt Valley existing. Good luck.
I'm not one of the Wellingtonites on here so feel free to take shots at the Hutt Valley.
Yeah nah. When you say "over here" you take the whole country. Own your bogans if you're going that way.
I said you're free to take shots at the Hutt Valley, what more do you want?
Us from the Upper area of the Hutt at least embrace our awesomeness with such establishments as
