[Manu Vatuvei]

imo Matulino and Packer should both make it.

Has Matulino played a bad game in his year+ in first grade?

 

[Revelation 3:20]

Certs - Lance Hohaia, Sam Perrett,Manu Vatuvei, Nathan Fien, Benji Marshall, Roy Asotasi, Adam Blair, Bronson Harrison, Simon Mannering, Jeff Lima, Jason Nightingale ,Sika Manu, Sam Rapira, Ben Matulino, Ben Roberts, Issac Luke

Jerome Ropati - would have to improve greatly to make my squad
Roberts/Fien and Marshall - One on Bench
David Fa'alogo - Let him go, Blood some newbys
Greg Eastwood - Is looking unfit
Taniela Tuiaki, Frank Pritchard, Krisnan Inu - Deserve another go
Jeremy Smith - if Fit


Pack of Bolters - Junior Sau, Antonio Winterstein, Alex Glenn, Kevin Locke, Lewis Brown, Russell Packer, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Joseph Tomane, Bryson Goodwin, James Tamou, Anthony Cherrington, Frank-Paul Nuuausala, Eddy Pettybourne, Joseph Tomane, Junior Sau, Terence Seu Seu, Frank Fuifui Moimoi, Luke Covell, Bryson Goodwin, Chase Stanley, James Tamou, Masada Iosefa, Kevin Proctor, Steve Rapira, Junior Tai-Kalifi, Sam McKendry, Keiran Foran, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves

mmmmaybe - Iosia Soliola, Dene Halatau, Setaimata Sa

Kiwis have so many players to choose from they have to get real brutal with selection. I would Like to see a few new faces in there.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Id say at least 6-7 will have surgery after the Nrl season

8. Jeff Lima
9. Issac Luke
10. Roy Asotasi
11. Zeb Taia
12. Simon Mannering
13. Jeremy Smith

14. Ben Roberts
15. Greg Eastwood
16. Adam Blair
17. Sam Rapira

Sika Manu, Frank Pritchard, Bronson Harrison, Ben Matulino, Taniela Tuiaki, Russell Packer, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Bryson Goodwin should all be picked in the squad.

FP Nuuausala would be a great bolter. Big, skillful, mobile and very aggressive.

 

[taste2taste]

1-B.Webb - havnt seen any SL this year, but unless his had a massive drop in form he is still our best fullback.
2-T.Tuiki - leads the NRL in tries and tackles broken
3-I.Soloila - always plays well in the black and white
4-K.Inu
5-M.Vatui
6-B.Roberts - has been outstanding this year
7-B.Marshall
8-R.Asotasi (C)
9-I.Luke
10-A.Blair
11-F.Prichard - our best back rower IMO
12-B.Harrison - leads the NRL in offloads and was our best in the anzac test
13-J.Smith

Bench
14-S.Manu - considered one of the hardest players in the NRL to tackle
15-F.Moimoi ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ x 2
16-S.Mannering
17-L.Hohia

Does any one know the eligibility of Roberts and Moimoi, as both played for other nations in the world cup.

just off the top of my head, feel free to criticise

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

I dont know but as long as we take some of these young players along for the experience.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves,Steve Rapira, Kieran Foran, Antonio Winterstein, Alex Glenn, Lewis Brown, Joseph Tomane, Bryson Goodwin, Russel Packer, Ben Matulino, Kevin Locke, Anthony Cherrington, Frank Paul Nuuausala, James Tamou, Kevin Proctor.

Its looking exciting for the future.

PRetty sure Tomane is down as wanting to play for Queensland, and I know Bronx Goodwin played for NZ Maori but I was under th eimpression Bryson was keen to go for NSW.

I think Packer is more likely than Matulino at this stage. I wouldn't be surprised if Ben goes back to U20s, he has been consistent but I'd like to see him develop more in the 20s and get back to those awesome offloads he had going down there. His game appears quite restricted in first grade.

No Fien...Too many good Kiwis to take an Australian..

Is Sau available as a Kiwi...??

He's an aucklander... so yes
