AB squad for the Bledisloe Cup?
-
Not sure if this would happen but I would love to see this backline:
9. Smith 10. Mo’unga 11. Ioane 12. J Barrett 13. Goodhue 14. Jordan 15. B Barrett
21. Perenara 22. McKenzie 23. Leinert-Brown -
@Canes4life JBarrett at 12 suddenly seems a whole lot more attractive doesn't it. Size and goalkicking... could be good

Second, couldn't agree more. Clarke and Jordan could not have been more dynamic the other day when compared to what we've had to our up with Reece and Carthorse Mark II.
What a shit way to talk about a player.

Especially if he's from the Crusdaers.

@Bones No, that has nothing to do with it and you know it. And I'm sick of people responding to every comment I make with "Crusaders this, Crusaders that". Especially you.
If I can't even comment on the Fern anymore without getting responses like that all the time, I may as well leave.
I just hate the way some people on the Fern talk about some players, especially the name-calling, regardless of which team he plays for.

No I don't know it. He called him carthorse, oh horror of horrors! What an absolutely disgusting display of horse shaming! My god how ever would someone cope with that atrocious display of horrible words thrown at them!
You get "crusaders this, crusaders that" because there's been disparaging remarks made about all sorts of players, yet you've taken the tamest, most innocuous comment and called it out....waddaya know it's a crusaders player...

@Bones This is my first reaction on many, many posts about Bridge in several threads over the past few months. If there was the same diarrhoea of posts about another player, of another team, there would have been plenty of people who'd have responded without getting accused of bias.
I've had enough.

@Stargazer it's cool mate, Bridge is bloody hard to get excited about though, eh? I'd have your back if they dissed young Will, for for sure !🙂
( and you do realise you bagged out the actual Caleb Ralph too, quite fiercely😉, who by all accounts is a sterling fellow )

Well he's no Dagg when it comes to facials, could do better.

Would you prefer if I called him "treadmill"?

Thanks for coming to Akira's rescue all those times, BTW

@Stargazer I’m with you. Haven’t read any posts but presumably ragging on about how Bridge is average. Personally I think he is all class. There is a reason why the Crusaders win all the time. Their whole team does their job and their players make better decisions more often. Something other franchises can only aspire too. The Blues are repeat offenders in this regard.

@Stargazer Bridge is an amazing player and his style suits test rugby where one dropped ball, one time out of position loses the game. He just reads the game so well. For some reason, the Fern gets a frontal lobotomy about some players and are proven wrong again and again. Why you would get upset over it?

Ardie at 8? Yuck
Yep. That's particularly concerning when we've got two big, quick and skilful guys who are specialists in that position in the squad.
He's a fucking 7.
Talk about ignoring lessons
And the premier 7 at that.

No one on this forum has said that Bridge is a shit player. He's decent under the high ball, runs decent support lines, runs fast enough in a straight line and is generally a low error player. He'd probably be a great right wing. The problem is that he plays on the left and he's currently keeping out two of the more dynamic and powerful ball runners in NZ rugby at time when we are lacking a bit in dynamic and powerful runners in NZ rugby. Remember all those breaks and extra yards Bridge made last year against England when we couldn't get any go forward anywhere else on the park? Yeah, me neither.

Yeah and that's why he should switch to the right wing.

@shark only fern are ignoring lessons, ABs coaches are all talking specialist and Ardie as a7 who can play 8
That makes zero sense.

Sorry that should have been at the message you were quoting.
