TJ Perenara

I was lucky enough to be at the Blues Awards last week, and he just cleaned up.

Forward of the Year, Player's Player of the Year, which is always a big one because it shows, I suppose, what he is like at his teammate, and then the overall Player of the Year as well.

It's been a phenomenal year for Anton Cegna.

Like, you know, he's done his time, and now he's got consistent time at number seven, where we had seen him at six, and maybe he felt like a smallish six.

We've seen him at seven, and I think week on week on week, it's hard to argue that he's possibly the form guy.

Brenna, what have you made of Signer and where do you see him maybe in comparison to the other open sides around possibly being that guy who's in there knowing that Artie's going to come back into the squad as well?

Blackadder has made a massive impact since coming back for the Crusaders.

You know, when you look at his dominant contact stats, particularly on defense, they're off the charts in comparison to the other number sevens.

He's really abrasive.

And in South Africa, those kind of things work.

I know he kind of fell out of contention.

He's had some injury woes and all those kind of things.

But he's a guy, I think, in a 44 who could be super effective there, given the way he plays the game against South Africa and Britain.

I know you're saying we haven't talked about Leicester firing Arnuku, but I think if you read between the lines on what Dave Rennie said in the last few weeks, he considers him more of a left winger who has the ability to play in the loose.

It was pretty clear that that's what he says.

And then when you look at the stats, it's difficult with Leicester because he's defended so much this year at centre.

He's going to have a whole bunch more missed tackles.

and things like that because of that position and the way people get on the outside.

So there were some interesting things though, because I would have thought that, you know, referring to that stat that Bryn said earlier, that Leicester Fire and Unico's dominant carries in comparison to Anton Cegna would be off the charts.

But his are way lower than Anton Cegna's dominant carries because they use him more as a ball player and less as probably just a straight up, you know, get it over the advantage line guy.
