Round 1 2015 Team

I really don't understand the whole Taka on the bench thing.....

If he is fit he is one of our top 2 centre's.

And Morgan's game has really not come on.

He hasn't added to his reasonable running game... Defence is awful and not much use hitting the ball up .

I'd be pretty worried if we had to use him much. Having said that he's the obvious next pick, but that's just a sign that are weak in the position.

Well I read in a season preview that Parra's top 17 has Takairangi on the bench. When I get home I'll provide a link if you like.

If this is the one you are thinking off here is the link.

Only problem is the author is a numphy.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe so but it's on the internet so it must be true.

lol.

I guess so. I am glad there was a link to it though otherwise it would never have actually been said.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I think the point of the link is that, without it, the author could deny he ever said any of that bullshit and then sue you all for defamation. It wouldn't be the first time he's done that sort of thing and it won't be the last.

 

[Someone]

don't sue me, I have nothing.

I reckon Folau would be pretty close to Morgan in the pecking order

Fair enough.

I see him as a centre and that's it.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Pritchard would be the ideal man for what you are saying, But he is out.

But I reckon IDG will offer spark if its for a 20 min burst.

Maybe, but he averaged less than 2 runs a game in his last 10 or so games (in 80 mins) so I don't see him providing much in attack.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I think Dockar-Clay may be an option later on in the year. Good spark out of dummy half and is able to play in the halves if need be.

I reckon Peats will be an 80-minute player out of dummy half though, so there's no need for a dummy half on the bench.

 

[hindy111]

Yes Taka a centre.He would be a 5/8th with little skill.Or a lock/second rower with no a lot of brut.

 

[hineyrulz]

Taka if fit is the first centre picked as far as I'm concerned.

De gois would be a better option thou.Crafty and smart. Will push peats although peats IMO is at another level.
De gois is very capable thou, and a few years back i thought was one of the best hookers running around.

Agreed.

Gus didn't think so or Penruff would have signed him.

 

[hindy111]

Well they bought Kingston on a min contract who killed it, they than took segyaroo who is now top 5 hookers in game and got excellent value out of him.
Smart operators.Merrin thou? hmmm seems a lot for him but they know what they need.

That's a huge wrap on Segeyaro - I'm not sure I'd call a bloke who struggles to play 80 minutes every week a top 5 hooker.

He's in my top 5:
Smith
Farah
Friend
Luke
Seg

Peats 6th.
