Steven Kearney's big conundrum...

[typicalfan]

Kieran Foran has a great kicking game. Better than Marshall, Luke or Chase.

Foran has the best banana kick in the game in fact a few things he does reminds me of Johns. Tough, strong runner, strong defender, all the qualities of a star player at any level.

yeah... that pick up and Banana kick he did in the Anzac test to set up Lance Hohaia's try was class...

And he turned 21 a month ago. What a freak.

but remember...

he's got no flair :roll:

 

[Didgi]

Lets kiss, make up and agree NZ has an exciting depth of quality young halves

On the topic, Hoffman has been solid without being spectacular, I'd still have Locke.

but remember...

Because he plays like an Australian sounds like it. I couldn't think of a better partner for an eccentric Benji Marshall than someone like Kieran Foran.

 

[shiznit]

more so than those Banana kicks... these 2 video's are exactly why Kieran Foran will be partnering Benji in the kiwis....

2 passages of play where he imposes himself on the game. exactly what Gus was talking about.

Locke won this round. Hoffman was still good though, kept his 150m+ average up.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Greg Eastwood has been ruled out for the kiwis. Operation on his wrist.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Can he tackle well enough? Is he battle hardened enough to pull that sort of stuff out of his arse in mid-winter northern england when they're on the ropes?

Well I dont think it would really matter because he would only be playing against Wales unless our first choice halves Marshall & FORAN get injured.

 

[Noa]

Id think Kearney would go for the more reliable player e.g. less prone to make an error, which appears to be Hoffman

 

[Fast Eddie]

Can't remember a time over the last few rounds where Locke has even made an error tbh. I will be more than fine if Hoffman gets the gig though. Will be good to have a decent safe fullback at the back unlike Hohaia.
