*Official* All Blacks Thread

  1. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    Why were you mentioning him as a possible AB then

    The 10 stocks will be
    Carter and Cruden

    Unless Carter never recovers his goal kicking.
     
  2. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Aaron Smith is the big one and almost certain one out of the lot IMO. Our previous half backs well are just that previous All Blacks. Jimmy Cowan is on the outers, Weepu sounds like he'll be picked, but he's been god awful. Ellis has been and always will be average, Mathewson has done better than Weepu, nothing marvelous. Then there's also players like Kerr-Barlow.
     
  3. Rego RS Hutchinson

    He'll be an All Black in the future. Unless Cruden goes down injured I highly doubt he'll get picked for the upcoming tests. He's only 20, plenty more to see yet.

    I have not seen the chiefs last two games but from the start of the season yes KB is growing leaps and bounds with each game. But he is still inexperienced. And needs another year of rugby.

    When he is on - he is on fire. When he is off - it is not a good scene.
     
  5. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Agree 100%

    Our squad, come 2015, will look very healthy IMO.

    I'm going to do a 30 man squad of who I would have in there for the International break shortly....it'll be different to Hansen's for sure. After reading his thoughts he's still backing players like Weepu, Ali Williams and so on....
     
  6. Mike ML Martyn

    Ali Williams shouldn't be near the All Blacks this year.
     
  7. Jabba HJ Bots

    my backline

    15.Dagg
    14.Jane
    13.CSmith
    12.Nonu
    11.Kahui
    10.Carter
    9.Ellis

    20.*insert one of about 5 halfback choices*
    21.B Smith
    22.Andre Taylor
     
  8. Jabba HJ Bots

    ROFL

    Ellis is the inform halfback in the super 15 this season.
     
  9. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    Ellis can fuck off.
     
  10. Jabba HJ Bots

    yeah agreed, i hate him aswell but considering the other 2 halfbacks with experience (weepu and Cowan) are so far off all black standard it isn't funny atm, Ellis looks a cert to start.
     
  11. Rego RS Hutchinson

    I have never liked him. I have NFI why he made the 07 WC squad.

    Shit player.

    Exaggerated obv but yeah.
     
  12. Mike ML Martyn

    I'd agree with most that actually. Aaron Smith should be the reserve halfback if Weepu doesn't pull his socks up.

    Really hope Ben Smith is in the All Blacks.
     
  13. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    What do you jokers make of SBWs season thus far and his chances of getting a starting gig
     
  14. Rego RS Hutchinson

    I'd much prefer to see Gear at 11 rather than Kahui. I'd be tempted to put Kahui at 12. Gear at 11. Nonu to the bench to be honest.
     
  15. Jabba HJ Bots

    Nah nonu deserves to continue starting, the 3 blues games i have seen he has been well above average he just hasn't formed a midfield partnership yet.

    Nonu Smith is one of the best midfield pairings ever and shouldn't be broken
     
  16. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    He's just an also-ran. I'd rather blood a young'un there, assuming we've got experienced players available elsewhere in the back line. Weepu's not up to scratch. Have Ellis on the bench.
     
  17. Mike ML Martyn

    Nonu will start, no doubt. If he doesn't perform after a few games for the All Blacks then it'll be time to move on.

    yeah my view exactly.
     
  19. the_killerz S Bakkum

    Fruean will make the squad this season imo.
     
  20. Veez DJ Veza

    I heard he was going to change back to league if he was guaranteed to be the most expensive player around. What a tosser if it's true.
