[watatank]

Squad to face NZ

Kurt Baptiste, Mitchell Frei, Dane Gagai, Corey Norman, Nathan Massey ,Dale Finucane, Josh Jackson, Stewart Mills, Mahe Fonua, Tyrone Roberts, Jack De Belin ,Alex McKinnon, Boyd Cordner, Kane Evans, Ethan Lowe, Tautau Moga, Matthew Groat, Jacob Miller

that was from the Australian Kangaroos FB page btw

 

[watatank]

So what would the lineup be? I'm just taking a wild guess, just to see what the team might look like

1. Nathan Massey
2. Tautau Moga
3. Stewart Mills
4. Mahe Fonua
5. Dane Gagai
6. Corey Norman
7. Jacob Miller
8. Matthew Groat
9. Kurt Baptiste
10. Dale Finucane
11. Boyd Cordner
12. Josh Jackson
13. Alex McKinnon

14. Tyrone Roberts
15. Mitchell Frei
16. Jack De Belin
17. Ethan Lowe
18. Kane Evans

Aren't any Cowboys going to get a look in? I would have thought Morgan, Feldt or Parker-Walsh (Suppose he may have went with NZ after all?) may have got a look in.

I'd have Evans ahead of either Frei or Lowe on the bench watatank. Too many backrows otherwise. Especially when you consider Finucane is more a backrow in the first place.

 

[footynut1]

it also says on the page... more to be added to the squad after the gf

 

[Big Pete]

Cheers footy.

Any idea on what's going on with MPW?

 

[mean_maori_mean]

Cheers footy.

Any idea on what's going on with MPW?

He will be named in the Kiwi side.
At 6 or 7.
Depending on Carlos Tuimavave pulls up in the GF,

He has hardly strung any games together.(carlos)

I can tell u that the kiwis would have approached the following boys.
Evans, Fonua & Norman

Particularly the first two hard.
However more than enough tru blu kiwis boys to put out a powerful squad.

Should be a good game.

 

[shasha]

Still cowboys players to be named, which could change the side a little bit but from that.

No Peachey either? Bit surprising.

1. Nathan Massey
2. Dane Gagai
3. Mahe Fonua
4. Tautau Moga
5. Stewart Mills
6. Corey Norman
7. Jacob Miller
8. Kane Evans
9. Kurt Baptiste
10. Jack De Belin
11. Josh Jackson
12. Boyd Cordner
13. Dale Finucane

14. Tyrone Roberts
15. Alex McKinnon
16. Ethan Lowe
17. Matt Groat


Hmm some smarter minds then me are continuously wrapping Matt Groat, so I don't want to go against them, but does anyone else believe the hype on him? I thought he was outshone by Begovich and Fotuiaka in the tigers side.

 

[royce10]

Yeah well he did play Jr Kangaroos last year.

There's a clip on youtube where he gets run down by kiwi frontrower Martin Taupau. Is he supposed to be quick or is Taupau some sort of freak?

 

[shiznit]

can someone explain to me how Parker-Walsh qualifies for he kiwis...

dont get me wrong.... the more young halves we have available for us the better.

as far as i know he was born and bred in QLD. hows he eligible for us??

 

[Big Pete]

Was born in New Zealand actually.

 

[shiznit]

Was born in New Zealand actually.

well i looked on his Toyota Cup Profile and it says he was born in Danneville.... ive never heard of that place before... not in NZ anyway... i thought it was an aussie town.

maybe its a typo and it was supposed to be Dannevirke??

 

[Big Pete]

100% right shiznit.

 

[Big Pete]

Moses Pangai and Kyle Feldt have been selected.

Mahe Fonua has withdrawn from the side.

Slightly off topic but any team needing a Fullback should look no further than Gagai. He obviously is stuck behind Hoffman at the Broncos and can't get a wing spot behind Beale and Yow Yeh either.

I rate Massey aswell, thought he played well when filling in for Dugan, had a few mistakes here and there but definitely has a future.

 

[shasha]

From that I would play

1. Nathan Massey
2. Stewart Mills
3. Tautau Moga
4. Moses Pangai
5. Dane Gagai
6. Corey Norman
7. Chad Townsend
8. Jack De Belin
9. Kurt Baptiste
10. Kane Evans
11. Boyd Cordner
12. Josh Jackson
13. Dale Finucane

14. Tyrone Roberts
15. Matt Groat
16. Alex Mckinnon
17. Moses Pangai
18. Ethan Lowe

 

[Didgi]

Pangai is good, but he can't play two positions.
