@stargazer At least I didn't list a guy who is in danger of being dropped from the Highlanders squad!
You mean MMT? Big difference between a weeks punishment for getting on the piss and being dropped for form, still first choice with all the landers fans I know

@kiwiwomble He was shite all year, and was a bad boy. He often gets 3 tackles in a game. He isn't a Tony Brown player.
Flanders is the real talent from Hawkes Bay.

I watched every game and still thought he did twice as much good as bad

@kiwiwomble Fair enough. Think he is a good ball carrier, but offers little else.

I think a lot depends on the team around them, in 2020 he had Dillon hunt and frizell who were 1 and 3 or something in the tackle stats, it was obvious he wasn’t tasked with defence, always stood at first receiver but wider on defence
Think we need to look at the game plan as well as the stats and largely he’s worked really well with the landers game plans when he’s played

@tim Sotutu was the most disappointing All Black this year, if it wasn't Caleb Clarke.
Sotutu was very good in Trans Ta$man and the back end of Aotearoa.
My problem with him is he has stuggled to translate that form to test level (even last year).
