If RTS is relegated the wing (and it is a relegation, no mistake), he really ruined the latter half of his career by trying union...

Absolutely that's a fair call, although he did become an All Black. And I respect the hell out of him for not taking the easy option to Japan rugby, the undoubtedly lucrative option

If you mean by switching, he opened himself up to being bumped around on his return, then yea agree.

If he hadn’t left he’d probably still be entrenched as the team’s starting fullback and he showed in his limited opportunities there last year that he’s still very capable there.

But the coaches have to accept some responsibility for how it panned out last year. Switching him to centre was worth a crack so I don’t begrudge that. CNK certainly deserved first dibs anyway after his ’23 season,

But the constant shuffling throughout the year killed any chance RTS had of ever developing properly. Some really good judges backed him to become not just a competent centre, but an elite one. But no one foresaw him instead having to cover every single outside back spot in the team, on both sides of the field.

That shit is on Webby. He took a sports car and used it as people mover. Sorry for the broken record rant, but this one really really grates and probably always will.

No one has mentioned Adam Pompey but he may well be in the team for his kicking. I feel Erin Clark will get selected because he can cover at hooker

I reckon Tanah Boyd will be in 6 or 7 for his kicking ability (goal kicking and general play). I actually don't mind him at all. He's no frills but tries hard.

We don’t have any frills in the halves, maybe him and Metcalfe
