Do the Kiwis have a chance ??

[kia ora storm]

Go to the international forum and check out the 'Kiwi's Possibles' thread

No idea but I would be picking S Price as a starting prop for the roos. He is held in high esteem in nz and they would be in awe of him.

 

[Shorty]

Word is...even NZ don't want Covell:lol:

 

[[furrycat]]

They were talking about SBW going to 5/8 and Benji to half...

Finally scrapped that plan and want Roberts to half

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

J smith would do ok at half, they are i serious truoble when it comes to the HB.

 

[In-goal]

The problem NZ face is some of there very best play in the RSL and by way of fixturing Australia gains a massive advantage for all in Season test matches.

It's beyond me why the RLIF don't get in the way and enforce International breaks throughout the season for Test Matches.

:lol: :lol: you're not quite as thick as i thought.

Don't mind the forward pack but have problems with the backline - Webster and Soliola are not exactly setting the world on fire at the moment ??.

 

[perverse]

better than letting carmont anywhere near the team.

 

[God-King Dean]

When was the last time an ANZAC Day Test was even competitive ?

 

[jumbo]

Webby won't be released in time to make it back.

 

[Murphdogg1]

When was the last time an ANZAC Day Test was even competitive ?

about the same time we had a full squad to choose from.............

 

[Panther_Daz]

Backline could be abit of a problem. Wonder if they will risk someone like Krisnan Inu in the centres ahead of Soliola.

Nah Inu might play at the end of the year.

Soliola was one of the kiwis best players last tri-nations, even if he playing not that good kant stop him from pulling one out of the bag - I hope NZ pick him. Plus he's playing in a crap team and under a coach no one likes
We've been doing that for years - Clayton Friend and Olsen Filipaina picked out of RydeEastwood reserve grade and were match winners against oz.

Whatuira is class and has come back for injury so should play before mannering make the team.
Webster hasnt been playing awesome but should get the nod - he's been there done that.

Sounds like webb is only one coming back from ESL, but they might bring back solomona now kidwell is injured.

 

[shiznit]

yeah... i think Soliola will step up if picked. Bluey seems to make his kiwi sides lift somewhat... a good run in the ANZAC test might get Soliola's club form back on track

If Webb does come back he plays Sunday NZ time catches a plane Monday and Arrives Tuesday. Motu Tony and Jason Cayless will be here

 

[screeny]

What's the deal with Faiumu? Is he injured or something?

He's the only player I've ever seen whose step is so devastating he can make players air-swipe in the middle of the ruck. Tri Nations 2005 he did it several times, had defenders the calibre of Buderus grasping at thin air.

If he's fit he has to start.
