What crap, Levi was very good last season in 1st grade so there goes the step up to NRL standard argument.
Griffin is in the team as it suits Browns game plan better, end of story. Levi is better in areas, Griffin is better in other areas.
But to say Levi has been ordinary is a laugh. I'd wager if Levi and Griffin got equal game time at hooker, the NZ selectors would be choosing Levi.
But Brown has kept him down in favour of Griffin, so NZ do not have a lot of options to select Levi from reserves ahead of the player at the same club playing NRL.
