Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I roto i ngā marama 16 kua hipa, kua karohia a Jordan Rhodes e Scotland, kātahi ka whakarerea e Blackburn Rovers. Heoi anō, ko ngā whakaaro katoa ka taea e te kaiwhaiwhai ngawari te maka i roto i te tauera, he tino kore-whakatangi. I whakaarotia e kore e tika mo te pūnaha pūngao nui 4-2-3-1 i manakohia e Gordon Strachan, ka oati a Rhodes ki te kore e taea e ia te huri i tana kēmu ka tino pakaru ia ki te ngana ki te whakapai ake. Ka kōrero a Jordan Rhodes ki a Gordon Strachan i runga i te raina i te Rāapa. Kātahi, ka mahue atu a Gary Bowyer mō te whiringa toa kore pōti a Blackburn ki a Liverpool i Anfield i te tīmatanga o tēnei marama, ka pōti anō te 25-tau-tau ki te pupuri i tana tohutohu. I te wā e kore ai ngā miriona rangatahi e whakaroa ki te whakapuaki i ā rātou raruraru, ka tukuna pukutia te whakautu a te tangata £8 miriona ki te papa. Ko te wikitoria i tana tukinga tuatahi ki a Bolton i whai ake i te mate mate i Charlton i te wiki i muri mai. I arahina ai ki te tono £10 miriona mō ana ratonga mai i Middlesbrough, i tere whakakahoretia e ngā rangatira o Blackburn Venkys i ngā wiki e rua ki muri. Ko Kevin Gallacher, te kaikawe o mua o Blackburn me Scotland, he kaiwhaiwhai nui ia o Rhodes engari e whakaae ana i etahi wa i wehi ia tera pea he rite i waenga i te hitman me Kris Boyd. Ko Jordan Rhodes (matau) e wero ana i a Aaron Hughes o Ireland ki te Raki i te wikitoria 1-0. Ko Boyd pea te kaiwhiwhi whaainga pai rawa atu i whakaputaina e Scotland i roto i nga tau kua hipa, engari ko nga hapa o tana keemu katoa i whakaiti i a ia ki te 18 noa iho nga whakataetae a-ao me nga whaainga e whitu mo tona whenua. Heoi anō, i miharo a Gallacher ki te kite i te kounga whawhai a Rhodes e ōrite ana ki tōna tōtika i mua i te kupenga. Ko te tamaiti e kore nei e kitea he riri kua hurihia e ia ona ringaringa me te whakakore i a ia ki te wikitoria i tana piiraa tuatahi ki Scotland mai i te marama o Noema 2013. Kei te whakaaro a Gallacher inaianei ko Rhodes te kaitakaro nui i te Ratapu ki te whiu i nga tama a Gibraltar i roto i te roopu tohu Pakeha ka taea e te rereketanga o te whaainga te whakatau. Ehara a Jordan i te tangata whaiaro. Kāore ia e pīrangi ki te pīrangi, e ai ki a Gallacher. Engari he tino...
Kua pau te kaitākaro i Blackburn me Scotland i roto i ngā marama 16 kua hipa. Kua eke te 25 tau ki te 16 ngā whāinga mō Blackburn i tēnei wā. Ko te wā whakamutunga i karangahia ai a Rhodes mō Scotland i te marama o Whiringa-a-rangi 2013. Ka tūtaki a Scotland ki a Gibraltar i tētahi whakataetae tohu mō te Euro 2016 hei te Rātapu.
