Ethan Hooker

What a bog ordinary player he is, I just don’t get it? Crash bash and nothing else

I’ve asked to see good touches and something other than the direct route and oh boy did he do just that in his last two games

I’m pleased to report that he is more than a crash baller - we saw some stepping, an in out and an offload or two

So that is Hooker’s box ticked - we just need Henco v Wyk to show the same skill and touches

Yesterdays game yet again proved how out of touch Rassie is to the younger talent available - David Kriel as he has shown for the past two seasons should be a Bok as should Papier be back in the squad

Welcome to what we've been telling you all year, Dave.

Had you been watching, you'd know that last two games have been just more of the same for him.

Go read the match threads.

Anyway, I'm glad you finally got there.

Bullshit he had shown nothing more than a lad relying on his strength to make an impression

david you confuse me.

I’m trying to work out what your point is?

Ethan Hooker has been excellent all season. A real candidate for the Bok #13 jersey in my opinion and he can cover #12 and wing.

Nope Rooi his spot is 12 where he has played most of his rugby

Chip Chip my Xhosa is not good enough to explain my post - try just waking up - it helps

If he was ‘just a brasher’ he would be just like your man Dud Allende. Why would that bother you?

Because I’m not stupid enough to define DA as only a basher

Maybe as a bench cover.

but he definitely isn’t explosive enough to be a starter on the wing.

Oh sure Dud steps, he glides, he offloads, he even tried tactical kicking until they told him to stop. Dud is the definition of a basher.

...I mean?

Put up the vote, Saffex.

It's not difficult.

Esterhuizen was not mentioned above - Hooker is the topic - I would prefer him at 13. Moaqrt has been wrong 100% of the time about De Allende about of prejudice and the rest of the idiots follow him.

My backline choices would be as follows:-

9 Papier/Williams

10 Ngomezulu/Pollard

11 Kolbe/Moodie

12 De Allende/Willemse

13 Hooker/Van Wyk/Kriel

14 Kolbe/Arendse/Moodie

15 Fassie/Green

The second and third choices are given as alternates and some of them would or should be on the bench in key test matches,

.

Yep plenty of evidence of a step an offload - just go check his highlights video

All test 12’s bash - helloooo

Thats why you have Kerevi, Tuilagi ,Aki, Tuipolotu, Danty, Esterhuizen, Lawrence type of players at 12

You just don’t get it

Mozart

How many tries has De Allende scored in test matches and how many try-assists he was involved in and comparre those with Esterhuizen - the ultimate crashballer?

How many tries has De Allende scored in test matches

11 in 87 tests. That means he failed to score a try in 76 test matches, which kinda puts your silly 21 tests without a try for Esterhuizen in perspective.

Pakeie you are very dumb - D e Allende scored tries against stronger teams - Eterhuizen failed to score tries ahainst weak teams and was utter shit against strong teams. That was why he was not considered as an option when Jesse Kriel was injured - Erasmus called up Willemse instead of the Dumbo/

In the 2923 RWVC he was in the teams playing Tonga and Georgia and was putrid gainst poor teams.

It is amusing to see the difference between real rugby experts opinion of players and the self-opinionated and prejudiced shit you come up on site.

LOL .

So let me get this straight . . . it's Dumb Pakie and Clever Maaik?

Every bit of available evidence says you have that the wrong way around.

Saffolk pls go ahead and show us the evidence of DDA,s magic offload and step…..

You have pointed out to us that DDA play’s according to Erasmus,s plan and his Job is to take it up in traffic and form rucks??

I mean that is crash ball. DDA is strong yes but as dumb as a stump when it comes to creative play.

AE,s stats is way better and his Bok stat's will look the same, if Erasmus gets over himself and backs the man for a change regularly to start.

Check his highlights video - as I said originally

Try fucking wake up

99.5% of the time Dud gets the ball he goes into donkey low gear and tractors into the nearest defender.

Much like most test 12’s do and much like Esterhuizen has done all season for the Sharks

“Tuilagi ( search: young adults ) “

What is that all about ?! ;)
