Will Jordan Unsurpassed Gamebreaker!

@nostrildamus yes, I figured that five trys against Tonga inflated things for Jordan in a meaningless way. There weren't many trys in the Scotland column for any of the players, not a huge deal - feel free to add them back.
If we are considering a player being a gamebreaker, surely games against the top tiers are all that matters?
Not sure what Foster has to do with anything. Reiko has maintained his try scoring rate against the top teams for a good amount of tests. More trys, more games, same ratio as Jordan. Nothing controversial there I would have thought.

every time i think we have created the dumbest thread ever
we find a new low
Will jordan is pretty fucking good
yeah, well you don't think he's good enough
what?
Reiko something!
Foster derp!jesus shit for all the talk about how much people love Super Rugby this year we do spend a lot more time talking about dumb dumb AB shit.
It has gotton weird. Throughout I'm saying he's good, I'd select him at 14, he scores excellent trys. Just don't agree he's significantly better than the other AB backs, and the try socring stats pretty much show that.
I think I've even said he was "on par with". Removing my weighting for RI and he's exactly on par with him!

I'd take Reece over him at 14 personally. Now that Sevu is injured. I don't know who the 14 is. Probably WJ, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was anonymous in big games.
Clarke is a bit of a head scratcher; they're going to pick him, he's got huge upside, but seems to struggle to play to his potential.

the main ability i think he brings that we're lacking is timing, i know we talk about his ability to get a favourable bounce etc but he is very good as spotting where he will be needed and being on a players shoulder at full pace at the perfect time, i dont mean standing in the line waiting for someone to receive it, i mean coming from a long way back and seeing who will be receiving it in 2-3 passes time, thats an ability we could use to turn slow ball into front foot ball
