Lmao
20 line breaks for the year puts him up near the top and you're worried, gtfo.
I'm ok with the team. I would of liked to of seen Perrett in there somewhere though. And I would of started with Luke at hooker too tbh.
Not sure on Eastwood as a starting prop. Would of liked to of seen one genuine NRL starting prop up front. I'm ok with Blair being there though, that backrow's just too strong to break into. That starting trio is awesome. Then you look at the guys on the bench - wow. There's some genuine strike-power in the backline too.
It's one of the best Kiwi sides on paper i've ever seen. We just need them to rip in and get the results. I'm confident.
How the hell is Sau anywhere near that team? I wouldn't even pick him for toyota cup with the way he has played this year. I would say he is close to the worst defensive centre in the league and hes lack of pace hampers him in attack.
I would probably start Luke. IMO he has probably been the best player in the world this year when he is fit. He is NZ's number one weapon. Having said that i do understand why he is on the bench.
I am concerned about Hohaia as well. I think the poms won't be able to exploit him but i wont be surprised when Australia do.
The forward pack looks good but it will be interesting to see how much go forward they have. They are a little light in the props and Blair has been very average this year. I really think they ought to be starting Sika Manu to add some size and go forward to the starting pack.
official song?? or national anthem?? god save the queen...it our anthem
but i prefer land of hope and glory...
I love it when people judge someone from 2 years ago and assume they are the same... :lol:
Isaac Luke was a rookie two years ago, who didnt have the match fitness to last.. 2 years on he was leading the dally m as an 80minute player...
If kearney wanted to use two hookers, why didnt he draft that warriors hooker into the side? He was explosive for short parts of the game so it would have complemented having 2 explosive hookers.. Instead, he has an average halfback playing hooker to start the game off, whilst keeping this years best hooker on the bench..
I agree completely, I think Eastwood would have been benched with maybe Pritchard dropping off had Fui Fui been fit.
Would love to have seen Perret in for Nightingale.

Saturday's opening Four Nations match between New Zealand and England marks 100 years of international Rugby League on Kiwi soil. To honour the historic event, both teams will be playing in special heritage strips for the game.
I love it when people judge a game plan before actually seeing it in action...
