[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1098357, member: 73144"] That’s harsh on Farrell. Unless you’re just talking recently? For a while, Iceman was deserved. And he’s always stood up for the fight when others have gone missing. And at times we have played some really good rugby with him in the team. Not often enough in recent seasons, but Dan Carter and Ma’a Nonu would have struggled with the imposed game plan and slow lousy service from 9. He also had to take on the captaincy. Unsuited, but who else was there? He has also had to play out of his preferred position for much of the time as well. Unsuited, but who else was there? All time great, probably not. Worthy of more respect than he gets? Absolutely. Although I do think he should have been replaced by now but he’s a Jones Undroppable. And he gets his place in the pantheon for the sneer at the 2019 SF haka alone. [/QUOTE]
