Kiwi Train On Squad

[Martli]

so if moimoi plays in the qualifiers he is then unable to represent the kiwis?

Just at the world cup by the sounds of it. I think world cup games don't technically count as test matches, rather "internationals" or some bullsh*t. So he'd probably still be eligable for NZ after that.

 

[Brian McLennon]

I have added some more players to the train on squad

SBW - he is fit and wants to f**k up the Croc lovers
Roy Asotasi
Ben Roberts

Matt Utai needs an operation like he does every year so f**k him he can miss out

Cheers Bluey

having second thoughts is this a way that the kiwis are giving fuifui moimoi match practice and serving his one match suspension.

with the world cup can we clarify the rules with selections. i know if you play in qualifying games you are locked into the country for the world cup the thing is i am unsure it is only 1 year out or the world cup cycle.

Adam Blair would have to be a certainty for the NZ squad. He looked good vs. Illawarra.

[Iafeta]

Another name who should be there is Antonio Kaufusi.

Moved to Australia when he was 16 from New Zealand so he's a Kiwi, and in awesome form.

[ozbash]

1. Hohaia
2. Smith
3. Fien

hohaia ? nope, part time hooker,center and/or 5/8 and not hell of a flash at any of them.

smith ? he went ok for the eels when dim tim hurt himself/was at rehab but i think he,s a better 5/8 than half.

Fein ? :lol: :lol:

if i was bluey, i,d be talking very seriously to thomas luelueai.

 

[Sanchez]

utai doesnt deserve a kiwis jeresy off form

well thank christ ur not bluey.... tommy leuleuai is not a half backs arse hole, he has NO kicking game at all and he always throws inside passes or short balls to his outside, he has no long passing game

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

utai doesnt deserve a kiwis jeresy off form

Really? I actually thought he was really good for the Dogs on Friday night. ok, he missed a few (difficult) tackles, but his running game was as explosive as ever.

 

[Sanchez]

hes just not the same as he was 2 years back

 

[NZ Warrior]

Don't mind him, Kiwi_man. Ozbash has a penchant for so-called halves with little-to-no playmaking ability.

 

[Brian McLennon]

My 17 so far is this

they could share positions,,, thomas could play the tough games (v the poms) and the WGHB could play the easy beats (aussie) .

then everyone will be happy,, even nzwarrior :roll:
