@Victor-Meldrew oh I fucken hope not too, but he has form...
I'd take TUJ over his brother this year.
Only cos that twat Holland doesn't play PUJ, who knows if he's better?
-
@Machpants maybe there's a reason...we never know what goes on at training, during the week etc.
A good coach should be able to work past issues like that or if there are personality clashes.
If he is that good, why is he continually overlooked?

I guess we're lucky that Holland is not posting Princep in the midfield?
I call bollocks as Holland has favourites, ones that make no sense. PUJ was awesome last year when he got game time, now I don't know. I do know that Holland does pick plodding unflushables, so I'm blaming Holland's favouritism, rather than PUJs form

I think Jordie at 15 makes the most sense and QT or Goodhue at 12. In saying that if RTS keeps performing a BB, RTS, RI combo would work well considering they already play together.
What are QT's tackle stats? You can't carry Mo'unga and him in the important 10-12 channel. That's a recipe for disaster.

Yeah it is weird, since he made the ABs under Holland didn't he? Then seemingly ended up out of favour, last year then seemingly ended up left right out this year.

@Bones again, why? What has changed?

@Chris-B said in All Blacks 2022:
Midfield - an initial problem is that I don't clearly know who Fozzie thinks are second fives and who are centres. I don't really understand why he went from using 12. ALB; 13. Goodhue in 2019 to 12. Goodhue; 13. ALB in 2020. The former seemed to work significantly better to me. But now we've had 2021 without JG and are having 2022 without ALB; so we're still not learning the full story about Fozzie's plans. Now we've got a bunch of potential 2nd five options, who are either untried or haven't nailed the position; and Rieko and Goodhue who both seem like good options to play centre - but, still have a bit to prove at test level. And maybe Jack is Fozzie's second-five...
I think the only thing you've missed is....(grimace)....they have shown a liking for Ennor at centre. It won't surprise me in the least if they go back to him (even over Ioane). Sad Face.
I fucking hope not. Reiko is both in good form and has Test experience so I think he's nailed on for 13 as he's the safest option. My guess is Fozzie will go for experience and if Goodhue goes OK in SRP, it's be between him and QT for 12 with PUJ poss. as cover.
Is PUJ one of those guys who just gets better and better the more he doesn't play?
Not a crack at you Vic. But he keeps getting mentioned in dispatches but isn't in the top 3 (or is it 4?) midfielders in his Super team.

He made the ABs and didn't look out of place. I'd say he's pretty handy.

So did Charlie Ngatai.

@Victor-Meldrew Ennor on form shouldn’t be in conversation.
Goodhue has lots of subtleties to his game and which are valuable at 13, but much less so at 12.
I’d like to see him in 23, because Rieko also covers wing and Richie 10/15, moreso because I’d like him to get some game time at 13. It also allows a new face to be tried at 12, knowing that Goodhue can cover that satisfactorily if it doesn’t immediately gel. -

My bad - I got my UJ's confused. meant TUJ. Thomas, being younger, has probably more potential....

Holland throwing his teddies out cos he hasn't re-signed for next year?

@Machpants TBF, if he indicated early on he was intending to leave, then I dont blame Holland.
I'm not saying he isnt a good player, I just think there is always a bit more to why things happen than the speculation here...
I honestly cannot see why Holland would not play him if he is the best in his squad when fit, unless there is somethign else.
-
@taniwharugby Also, Bailyn Sullivan is better

I can see where you're coming from but this is the same coach with his unflushable plodders, who are awful to average, he picks over better performing players time and again. New players come on, play much better, then disappear to club rugby for their audacity showing up Prncep, Blackwell, et al. I have no faith in his selectorial skills, and if it wasn't for Ardie picking up and carrying the team to a win, canes would be below the landers.
@duluth PUJ was a well performing AB last year, Bailyn was an average wing for the Chiefs (IIRC) Bailyn has taken his chance, but he is not at the level PUJ was last year yet. If PUJ had the opportunities Bailyn has had, where could he be? We will never know 'cos Holland is random as fuck with his selections
