@Higgins they may not be the smartest signing
There have been a number of Hurricanes signings that you could file under the same statement. Maybe the finger might finally be pointed at the Recruitment and Development Manager. Some of the selections in the Hurricanes Development Team are puzzling as well.

@No-Quarter Fuuuuuck imagine ALB at 12 and Goodhue at 13 for the AB's.

@Bones
Jordie Barrett has been disappointing this season each time he was playing with the 15 jersey. He's more suited to the 2nd 5/8 position IMO.I only saw the first 20 or so minutes but this post is a cracker based on my viewing. Good call 😁

@Yeetyaah That may happen in the games against minnows, or if Crotty is injured.
There should be little debate that ALB is a superior player to Crotty, in both talent and form.
-
@mariner4life You're hilarious!
-
Yep. Be good to see ALB & Goodhue get some serious gametime together. Hansen and co. really need to sort the starting 12/13 combo.

It's quite simply true. Crotty has been a decent placeholder. When available. Good glue player. But ALB just has more talent, and is currently living up to it.
-
@mariner4life And I think you're simply wrong. Crotty is uncontested the best organiser of the defence in tight games. I wouldn't trust any other midfielder with that job in the big games.
He's way more than a decent placeholder. ALB is a good player, but not consistent enough.
-
@Stargazer not consistent enough? Seems to be stringing a huge number of quality games together. In all jerseys.

That's because of the opportunities that come when you're not always injured.
-
@Stargazer I think they will pick Laumape before Nonu. I think Nonu will only get in if we have injuries throughout the campaign.

12 Sonny Bill
13 Ryan Crotty
14 Anton Lienert-Brown23 Jack Goodhue
You heard it here first!

@mariner4life 100% won't happen.

That's what my wife said.

I see Crotty as a really important squad member. Someone that can come in and do a job at the drop of a hat, and provide plenty of leadership and guidance to younger guys during the tournament. ALB and Goodue are miles ahead at this stage, and based on form I actually think SBW has looked the best of the power centres so far - I'd have him on my bench if he could just stay fit for more than two games.
