        Not sure how A Smith wasn't back of the week, he went full beast mode. Thought Jordie was very good also, but I didn't see the Blues game so can't judge that one.

          Laumape is very, very effective at what he does. A young Nonu but with better discipline. I agree though, A Smith was more influential - he's hit the ground running this year which bodes well.

          Also surprised @Tim gave that an upvote despite both Savea's being named...

            I'd put Parsons at hooker - he played really well and led from the front.

              @bovidae My only real concern with Parsons is his ability to play like he weighs 10 kilos less. He just doesn't seem to be able to physically impose himself.

                I don't particularly rate Parsons as an AB hooker but he's fine at Super level. And IMO he played better than Riccitelli or Taylor last weekend.

                I would also say that your criticism is equally valid for Riccitelli.

                  @bovidae yeah I've been impressed with his physicality of late, actually starting to seem like a front rower.
