I think Halatau is a good player, but not at 9. He's a 13.

i also think he's a good player and better suited at lock.. but his form for wests this yr was hardly rep selection worthy imo

:lol: @ kemble really - I think he was shown up in the Aussie test

:lol: at Moi Moi - seriously, if the guy can only open up with 11 mins, is there a point to having him in the team? Is that poor interchange management by Kemble, or the fact that Moi Moi is all trousers and no c**k??

I think Faiumus and Limas ommitals from the team are not form related. If the team is picked on form they would be the first 2 picked. Halatau is not a fricken hooker and Kemble is not a fricken coach

This is a pretty weak side, they flicked Lima becuase of defence - and then pick Epalahame Lauaki (have they seen his defence under pressure)
The pick Tame Tupou who was a ghost in the All Golds game.
Halatau is NOT a hooker(and out of form)
Paul Whatuira is out of form!

I would have....
Kiwis: Sam Perrett, SKD, Shontayne Hape, Simon Mannering, Taniela Tuiaki, Lance Hohaia, Thomas Leuluai, Roy Asotasi (captain), David Faiumu, Fuifui Moimoi, Louis Anderson, Frank Pritchard, Jeremy Smith.
Interchange: Greg Eastwood, Ben Roberts, Sam Rapira, Epalahame Lauaki.

I still hope all the boys go well

im still spiting about the players they took over
Where is Luke, Chase, Te,o.......and Te Maari!(good player)

Sam Perrett, SKD, Shontayne Hape, Chase Stanley, Taniela Tuiaki, Lance Hohaia, Thomas Leuluai, Roy Asotasi (captain), David Faiumu, Fuifui Moimoi, Simon Mannering, Frank Pritchard, Dene Halatau.
Interchange: Greg Eastwood, Ben Roberts, Sam Rapira, Epalahame Lauaki.

Faiumu not being picked would have to b put down to form wouldn't it? I mean he played in the All Golds game......

I'm starting to really doubt Kemble and his selectors.

I still think Rapira should be a srting prop and Moimoi as an impact player.
Absolutely mystified at Faiumu being dropped for Halatau.

Does he have to prove himself to the selectors "team America-style" or something?

I believe that is "all fur coat and no knickers"

All these posts about Kemble being rubbish seem to have a similarity to the mid season posts about Cleary wanting him gone

Give the bloke a bloody chance !!!

Why stop at Kemble. I think we all have high expectations, expect great results, expect league to be the number 1 sport in NZ yesterday, expect Skinner to present the sports news for TV one:D , expect meam maori mean to agree with everyone, expect my eggs to be cooked when I get home....

Thomas and Lance :crazy:

As opposed to Ben and Jeremy?

Seems the lesser of teo evils really. Although I would have preferred to see either Thomas or Lance paired with Roberts.

Roberts and Leuluai would have done me. And if Hoheia had to be in the team for goal kicking(Roberts can goalkick can't he?) then he should be coming on as an interchange hooker.

Guess so, we really do need to get some depth in these positions for next years WC.

Rangi Chase needed to be in that touring side.
