Never been a fan of his, far too inconsistent and not a quick enough thinker for me. Give him time and space and he'll do the business. Against top teams you don't get that. Kicking game all too often wayward, today was a prime example.

Fair comment obviously I wasn't there today, thought we did a job on him too to be fair

Without Sherwin we have no one to organise the team. Goldy and Chase are to similar in style. You need a scrum half that controls the flow of the ball and sets things up for other players and a stand off who can play of him and be creative. For me Sherwin and Chase is the ideal partnership with Goldy joining the line from full back.

Organise? Is that it? What i've seen too many times from Sherwin is taking poor options when under pressure.

I'd like a scrum half that can also make breaks and score tries, oh and organise and set others up, and I'd love a scrum half with a consistently good kicking game.

People do stand off Chase, and Goldy, they are so sharp they cause indecision in defences. Indecision in defecnces create opportunities.

So i'd like to see them have a go--is that a crime

Whenever Sherwin hasn't played we've tended to struggle and when he's fit we've generally looked a much stronger side.

good to see he is settling in well and his best years are definitley in front of him.I was lucky enough to coach rangi back here in nz for the levin knights in local league and central falcons in the under 18 rep comp and he always had that x factor.

Now facing a 4 game ban for a chicken wing tackle and they say it was coached into him at an early age
