@Frank said in Hurricanes vs Highlanders:
Jordie Barrett is too slow and too slow to turn to play on the wing.
Why the fuck does he get so many chances anyway????
He's just not that good.The selectors watch too many wildlife documentaries

He's just not that good.Unfortunately we're not currently burdened with right wingers.

Someone needs to nail that right wing spot for the All Blacks. Some height and a booming kick wouldn't go astray.
Can’t recall if I’ve mentioned it before, but a guy that would make a decent right wing for the ABs is that kid George Bridge.

He's just not that good.Wasn't he man of the match there against Italy? He's faster than you think.
In any case, he should be playing his natural position which is 12.

Jordie Barrett to be starting number 12 in 2020...for the Crusaders.
You heard it here first. (Unless you heard it somewhere else earlier).
Get the Barrett-Goodhue combo back together. Sounds good to me.

Hell, everyone's mentioned that!

@Cyclops Hasn't he been quoted saying he doesn't want to be a traitor like his brother? Seriously though I think he said he would never leave the Canes in an interview last year... maybe I miss heard.
Out of all outside backs for the Canes the last person that gets the chop for me is Vince Aso, he is very consistent and has barely put a foot wrong for us since coming down from Auckland. I hope his benching is more of a rest and rotation thing than him being out of favour with Plum.

I went to see razor give a presentation last year and his words when talking about Jordie were “don’t worry, we will get him back here”

attack the set piece Highlanders!!!!

@SammyC Not sure how much you can read into that or the quotes in here -https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/105510831/jordie-barrett-and-ardie-savea-recommit-to-hurricanes-and-nz-rugby
Jordie is loyal to the swirl. Plus doesn't Ennor want to be a centre aswell, meaning Goodhue may even move in a slot which will black Barrett anyway.
-
@98blueandgold if we get front foot ball young T Umaga Jensen better step up his defence.
-
@Canes4life just ship him back to Wainui now! 😀
-
@Canes4life I wonder whether Jordie is considering a move to the Crusaders to play with Scott if Beauden opts for a (sabbatical) stint overseas.

While I was ecstatic to get him at the Canes, I think he would have been much better off staying down there. He and Goodhue were a freakishly good centre pairing and it's a shame to see him wasted at 15.

I am wondering if Jordie is stuffed, by playing so many positions at a reasonably high level, never getting sorted in one place. Time will tell.
Canes by plenty

@Stargazer might aswell call him Kevin Durant. 😆

@Machpants and with Laumape playing out of his skin at 12 means it's even harder for Plum to move Jordie there. Laumape needs to step down for two games at some point so maybe Jordie will get a crack then..
