@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

Yuck

@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.
-
@Canes4life I was noticing how “gassed” he looked having to chase (no pun intended) he was blowing a few times which is weird since he’s been training full time with the canes aswell as playing basically full games should have match fitness by now.

On attack, yes... On defense, definitely not

Saw replay last night.
God what a shit player Jordie Barrett is. And as for Ardie Savea! Why persist with such a limited player. Should be nowhere near the ABs.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel The truth is Jordie has been shit for most of the year so people were just calling it the way they saw it. He was outstanding on the weekend however.
