Kiwis Train on squad

[Fast Eddie]

I hope Winterstein gets a run.

 

[The European Polynesian]

Matai is out due to injury.

 

[Mr Angry]

Well Inglis will be left centre who is on him? Both centre and winger?

 

[TheDMC]

Matai is out due to injury.

Where did you source that info?

 

[LeagueNut]

I rate Whare as a bit of a gun, I see no problem with him getting picked.

Agreed, but I'm wondering if it's an "early pick" for eligibility reasons ... could he be chased by Queensland as well?

 

[MKEB...]

Where did he do his schooling and junior football?

 

[Meth]

Matai is out due to injury.

I'd like to think so.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Matai is out due to injury.

Not according to the NZRL site, which lists a lot of injuries but not Matai.

 

[The European Polynesian]

Where did you source that info?

Heard SK say it on the radio.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

So I would imagine that all Kiwi GF players, bar perhaps Manu, will get selected in the final 17?

Bromwich, Inu, Eastwood, Kasiano, Pritchard, Perret, Eastwood & Proctor?

 

[hitman82]

Now that we won't have Papalii, and likely Kasiano too, I'd pick Manu in the second row and play Mannering in the centres opposite Inglis.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Hoffman
Perrett
Inu
Winterstein
Vatuvei
Marshall
Johnson
Kasiano
Luke
Matulino
Pritchard
Mannering
Smith

Foran
JWH
McKendry
Bromwich
Blair

Would be pretty tempted to give Taulomolo a game off the bench though.

 

[Mr Angry]

Reckon Blair will start, vc, senior player in that team.

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

I'd definitely have Taumalolo somewhere in that team, it would be a big thrill for the kid to run out on to DFS in the black and white.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Reckon Blair will start, vc, senior player in that team.

Of course. That is just the team I wouldn't mind seeing.

 

[hitman82]

Yeah I really like the idea of Johnson in the halves and Foran off the bench. I hope the Warriors' shithouse season doesn't ruin Johnson's rep chances.

 

[Meth]

Not really keen on Johnson. Foran's been bad this year, but Johnson's been worse.

I hope to see Kasiano, Eastwood, Pritchard, Perrett, Inu, Proctor, Bromwich and Manu named in the squad today.

I guess the big difference for me is Johnson was good in his Kiwi's debut, whereas Foran has never impressed me at international level. I also feel he and Marshall don't work well together.

 

[hitro]
