Don't compare him to lomu. gears work rate sunk down a little bit this year, he proberly just had a shit year hell definitley be back nek year proberly in the black jersey and as for the rocket man he was a one of a kind player that could do things other players couldent he just lost form as all rugby players do but joes time came a little early I must say. Just
Wow Gear puts one fend on Joe Roks and all of a sudden hes better than Joe...lol...what Joe has done for the AB's in the time hes done it no other AB winger will do. Wheres Gear now? lol
Fuck this cunt now he's signed a contract to play for the Highlanders next year so he can kiss my ass lol Fuckin Hurricanes are losing all their players, must be alot of unease in the camp
@achillesled Yep I have to agree, a former Canterbury Crusaders player turned coach without even having any past coaching experience, pretty shocking alright
@achillesled Wtf!! is Horey coming down those ways too? damn him what a lost. He's like another loosie in the rucks, steals the ball but hardly gets recognized for it
@achillesled hes not shit, he is getting rid of some players who have to much say in the team. this isn't an instant winning goal, but more of a three or four year idea to rebuild the hurricanes
And this is the reason he should be in the WC team Henry you idiot. He can do serious damage this man. His playing style reminds me a lot like Lomu. He will be missed.
@MrSydneyKing He is lethal when he gets going and I would have like to see him in the WC team. He's one of my favourite players but his workrate was a bit low and even thou I'm a fan of Hosea's I can see why they left him out. If he had a workrate like his brother Rico he'd be in the team for sure. Unfortunate to miss out but like Wayne Smith said if Zac or Toeava didn't have such versatility and weren't on form Hosea would have been in the team
@hemhemimakatekobum Yep. I still reckon he would have risen to the ocassion though. What AB wouldn't in the WC. Surely his form last year counted for something?? I think the selectors have made a big mistake, as he can change a game with his brilliance. He swatted Toeava like a fly though in that run! Haha
Are you guys kidding me Joe was the most cosistent winger in super rugby. While Zack, Hosea, Toeva had a up and down season. They were good one game next game suck and so on.
Lol at the people saying Roks is better than Gear, are you on crack? Gear is NZs top winger right now and Roks shouldn't even be in the ABs squad anymore
Rokocoko is just so slow now, seriously in recent All Blacks games he was chasing a break by the opposition team when Kieran Reid overtakes him and makes the tackle. I couldn't believe it so I rewound MySky to check.
yeah i agree dat joe is not playin at his best and i guess age is catchin up to him..but i watched da blues take on the huricanes lately and the blues won because of penalties! jus to make my point Joe is still fast and strong in dat game. he busted through tackles and showed his speed when he caught cruden 4rom some metres bac!( by da way Aaron is fast off da mark) and wen mathewson chip da ball througha couple of players and Joe chased and beat Gear to the ball!
Roks was a greagt but is simply not as good as he has been in the past. Certainly good enough to play at S15 level but not necesserily at test level with the current competition. The arguement regarding his experience going into a world cup is a good one as you need some experience there but the wingers need to be explosively accelerating try scoring machines in this current world of running rugby. So the jury is obviously out as NZ is spoilt for choice of wingers.
@DevilBoyDoc ...and I saw him (Roks)play this year against the Force in Perth and he was very ordinary that evening when the blues were very very lucky to get away with a draw by scoring 10 points in the last 3 mins.
hosea gear the man!! but roks is a legend and sadly to say his days are over now.....its hosea gear who should be in a black jersey now. and isaia toeava great player but he got palmed ahaha.
@hemhemimakatekobum shaddup fucking eggs. Joey Rockets is a far superior test wing than Hosea will ever be. Rico has it over Hosea and he was found wantign at test level. Only perosn hard doen by IMHO was Tuitavake. Strop being one eyed and go check the stats..get ready for a wake up call... media sheep!
@bombertheelephant On current form Hosea's alot better then Roks. Roks has had the better career overall I'll give you that but at the moment he's just lacking that spark he use to have. Hosea had an average 2010 Super14 because of injury but he played well for the NzMaori and scored 11 trys in the Anz Cup 2009 and also was leading try scorer in the Anz Cup 2008 scoring 14 trys setting a record.
@hemhemimakatekobum LIke I said check the stats it's not just about scoring trys because as you know you can be at the end of a pass after the hardwork is done. They need someone who is solid on Defense and is almost always guaranteed to break tackles. Hosea showed out against two northern hemisphere teams and people were saying he's an All black! Against England? Please. I notice Donald is hitting some form too but we all know the story there.
@bombertheelephant What stats? Roks should be better then Hosea he's been playing alot longer then him and has had alot more experience internationally. In this video thou all I see is Roks being fended off then Toeava and Rudi Wulf was lucky the ref blew the whistle because he would have got ran over too. If you haven't seen my other videos Hosea scores a 55m intercept try with Roks trailing and in the same game bunts off 3 players in a row :)
@hemhemimakatekobum what stats? oh okay. What you've juts described to me is you take on a single game. Does he do this every game err no! where was he when Wellintogn have been trying to win the big ones? err I guess he;s not suck a huge phenom as youu make him out to be. He's a good player pof course but a great player? Give it time. At thi spoint even SBW will be a better optiuon than having a specialst. Think about What I've juts written you may understand why Jane is an All Black and not Ho
@bombertheelephant I'm still waiting on these stats? I've taken on Hosea's form in the last 3 seasons of Rugby. It took Roks 2 years to score a try since the RWC for the All Blacks. I like Roks I'm not a Roks hater It's just that on current form he's lacking and I'd rather see players picked for the EOYT on form rather then reputation. Colin Slade > Aaron Cruden, Robert Fruean > SBW, Hosea Gear > Joe Rokocoko, Lelia Masaga > Sitiveni Sivivatu. Do you catch my drift?
@bombertheelephant We all already know Roks is one of the best All Black wingers we've had but that's why I wouldn't mind seeing some of our other form players get the chance to show their talents. It's just the EOYT I mean none of the NH teams except for Miunster have scored against the All Blacks in the last 2 Grand Slam Tours that's rediculous.
@hemhemimakatekobum I hear you Bro. Can't take anything away form Hosea to be fair but who knows really why he doesn't get a crack the only thing I can think of is that he is a specialist and given Henry and co.'s concerns over people getting hurt leading up to RWC they tend to try and cover several possies with one player. Who knows as someone mentioned Hosea could be the darkhorse at RWC sprung on the unsuspecting teams at the tourney in 2011. Now that would add to the drama for sure!
Rocks started off as a brilliant finisher of tries. Just that the game got rough and he worked out he couldn't hug the touch line any more so he started putting a lot of in the mid field (which is handy to have him and Nonyu to bash open the line). The down side is that he seemed to have forgotten how to score tries.
It wouldn't be wrong to pick any wing from among Hosea, Rocks, Jane, Ranger or Dag. It just depends on the game you play.
@ArDz121cZ google it? hahah there's your problem right there. If we went by what you know Rico would never have been dropped. What's wrong wit this picture? I'll tell you Joe has been an All Black longer been more potent and the same can't be said of Rico. As much as I like Rico he was never as huge a threat as Joe was. Joe was sublime unfortunately it looks that as quickly as he rose he is quickly starting to die out. Your wrong pal unfortunately.
couldnt agree more. JR is the winger we should play at test level. his experience will prove effective under pressure. player experience under pressure is so important!
What happened to Rico Gear? He just disappeared. Is there some sort of history with the Gears and the selectors ? Must admit he looks like AB material in the Canterbury game. Would do a better job than Roko right now.

@ventea He's good enough right now he played awesome against Canterbury scoring 2 trys and always makes alot of metres. I think the so called 3 wisemen just have a problem with him I don't know what it is but he deserves a go at the EOYT for sure.
It's an absolute travesty after tonight's game NZ maoris vs England that Hosea Gear is not an All Black, he is out at the expense of Rokocoko and that is just damn well wrong.
@novarone72 He will be there for the world cup no doubt.I think his selection for the NZ 7s for the commonwealth games may of had a big part to play in not being selected this year.Perhaps Graham Henry knew something we didnt?.Would of loved to see him run over Habana though..lol and he would of!!!
@TheNotpc1 you never know what goes on in Henry's head, hopefully his head is together come next year and he's not still playing around with combinations, I think we are all just so sick of that game. Talk that we have peaked and we won't get better is rubbish, with Hosea Gear, SBW, those young players coming up, Cruden, (not a fan of his) Dagg and our good ol Northland boy Ranger, ABS have not reached their full potential yet.
