[Martli]

Looks like Locke might get a stint on the wing?

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Leuluai & Hohaia over Ben Roberts? FFS.

 

[Meth]

Can't see why Roberts was left out on form. Would have liked for Brown and Packer to have been there too

Looks like they are looking to the future with Nuuausala, Waerea-Hargreaves, Matulino and Foran.

 

[Meth]

Yeah. We only really have room for either Fien or Hohaia, I think

 

[Meth]

Too early for Locke. I would have Talanoa ahead of him.

And, on form, what is Matulino doing there?

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Matulino? Bah

And how can you pick Tommy L over Roberts? Absurd.

[Mixmasterreece]

Vatuvai, Tuiaki, Goodwin, Locke, Perret, Nightengale, Winterstein > Talanoa

 

[Meth]

Vatuvai, Tuiaki, Goodwin, Locke, Perret, Nightengale, Winterstein > Talanoa

Vatuvei and Tuiaki definitely- but they are injured.

The rest- debatable. Talanoa deserves a spot over Locke

 

[watatank]

Why do NZ keep picking Matai? He's not that good... :?

Russell Packer should have been selected, IMO.

I have no idea how JWH and Matulino got in but Pettybourne didn't.

Alex Glenn would've been a good choice to be in the team and play lock, but I bet Matai will play there :lol:

I don't understand the Locke selection unless he is going to play fullback...but even then he's had one game there or something.

Their strongest team will still be competitive but inexperience will probably count against them IMO.

 

[African Monkey]

Vatuvei and Tuiaki definitely- but they are injured.

The rest- debatable. Talanoa deserves a spot over Locke

Talanoa is only behind those two. After the season he's had, he should be there.

Krisnan Inu is very average at the moment
