I’ve been really impressed with Ethan De Groot especially when he had competition with Tamaiti Williams the last few years
It’s made me wonder for those who remember, has Tony Woodcock ever been droppable from the 1 jersey, I can’t ever remember anyone else wearing the 1 jersey when he was fit and healthy.
Was he really that good or did we just have no one else who could compete with him at the loosie position?
Who’s the better player and why?
I can’t help but think they are similar players in terms of their size and speed.
There’s a lot of hype around Roigard but still think he would have been 2nd fiddle if Aaron was in his prime.
It does make me ponder how the world would have viewed TJ if Aaron Smith didn’t exist and he got more game time with the all blacks.
I haven’t kept up with the Nrl lately but does anyone have any insight on Martin and Crichton form as they haven’t been selected for origin this year.
Has their form really dropped off this year or is it simply Hudson and Haumole are the premier second rowers this year?
Thoughts on Lalakai Foketi as a midfield when he was playing for the wallabies?
Whenever he’s played this year for the chiefs, he’s been really good especially his distribution skills.
I don’t know if I’m just suffering from PTSD of watching myopic tunnel vision centre like Reiko Ioane but it’s been refreshing to watch a 13 distribute to his back 3 and creating space for them on the outside.
I haven’t enjoying watching a centre do the simple stuff like this since Jack Goodhue.
How would you describe their playstyle? Any similarities or differences and who’s the better midfielder
How was DuPont viewed from 2016-19?
Was he known as a up and coming rugby prodigy or had he already established himself as a world class 9 by this stage of his career?
He’s played in both hemispheres in the 2000s 2010s.
For those who remember him, what was his playstyle like? Strengths and weaknesses?
