Were Dalton Papali'i and Ross Wright in the Blues squad last year ?
Karl T is a rookie, as is Frizell.
Who is Thomas ?
Not sure about Jordie Barrett being better this year than last year.

Then they've improved 100% on last year.

Jordie is definitely better, he's eaten far less turf.

Thomas, aka Rob Thompson.

Immediate response without really thinking...

Goodhue
Moulds
Karpik
Goosen
Alaimalo
Stevenson
Li

Others when I think betterer

[SouthernMann]

That Rob Thompson has been pretty flash.

[No Quarter]

ALB has been getting back to his best this year, has looked very classy.

[Bones]

@booboo Li has been cake! I reckon Goosen is just as good as he was last year, just maybe that he didn't play against the Chiefs last year?

[cgrant]

Yes, Thompson is having a great season. He looks accomplished. He will be tested against Kuridrani this week end.

Don't know about you, but I'm hoping he plays for the Highlanders this weekend, rather than against the Brumbies...

The question was has he been better than last year.

IMO yes.

Low bar...

Thompson

@booboo Hah fair enough - I thought he was actually pretty useful for the landers last year, whereas this year he's had me tearing my hair out. Different strokes I guess...
