    @shark Yeah, I'm surprised Eroni Clarke and Pat Tuipulotu's little brother weren't in the list either.

    @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.

    @tim MMT's temporary drop in form wasn't worse than Sotutu's.

    I'm sure he'll be in the Highlanders squad next season and will be a starter.

    Tom Robinson and Flanders are well ahead of MMT.

    Seriously though, Bird in the All Blacks? Am I in hell? Am I being tortured by Bealzibub?

    McWhannell is a far better player than that absolute bum. For shame.

    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).

    @tim I think Robinson was much better than Sotutu this year, and Flanders has improved so much that he'll overtake him soon. Those were the players I was talking about (in response to @KiwiMurph).

    It makes me laugh that you are suggesting some league dude who hasn't played Union in years, no fucking way.

    Isn't the ginger Jesus injured?

    I will bet anyone $100 that Blackwell will start over Dom Bird next year, and he will be much better.
