Hilarious that Vatuvei was off the field for half an hour before anyone noticed.

Hoffman proving what an average fullback he is.

Title defense looking good with the likes of Mannering, Locke and Nightingale to return to the side.

Locke and Nightingale won't be returning. Nightingale just lacks size and speed, Locke is below average

Fullback is a weakness for the team, we have two good but not great FB's

Amazing crowd for tonight's game

Yeah the great ones are pretty rare. We would be a much stronger looking team with Hoffman moving to the left wing and Locke at fullback. Having all three guys in our back three with the skill to play fullback would be fantastic on both attack and defense.

f**k, not much gained from this game

bit too late to give RTS a run at fullback guess we're stuck with Hoffman. A positional swap should be considered.

Taylor will be utility cover now that Leuluai is stuffed but he's no threat going forward will need to give silver service

Oz have too much talent across the paddock, we gonna be found out with Cronks kicking game, defense under pressure looks flakey.

Still couple games left before the business

It's amazing that Kearney is the Broncos defensive coach and that the NZ defense looks weaker when under pressure. Bloody Kearney's knowledge will cost us the cup unless Clearly is really pulling the strings

You have an amazing fullback on your team, it's just that everyone seemed to forget he's a fullback, maybe even himself - Krisnan Inu.

Seriously the dude debuted for NZ at fullback against australia and was extremely outstanding, he's a freakishly gifted player in every department like a hayne or inglis. There's no way he's not by far the best option, should be an automatic selection. Hoffman shouldn't get within a thousand miles of a black and white jersey, neither should goodwin (does that even need to be said? Goodwin isn't good enough for the NRL, I wouldn't select him for a qld cup team).

NZ aren't good enough to endure being sabotaged by these idiotic selections. They're just good enough to field a 17 that can be competitive with oz if it's crafted perfectly. This has not been done, unfortunately.
