Dont discount a full strength Kiwi side. Utai, Webb, Vainikolo, Vagana, Marshall and Ropati next year should ingite the backs. SBW, Galavau and Puletua form a strong back row and the basis for a strong pack.

where were andrew johns, craig gower, stacey jones when they were 19? a player hits their peak around 24-26 years old........give him time, hes gonna learn so much from this series......but yeah it wouldnt be a bad idea to buy from union....maybe a fullback or something

craig gower was supposedly the best hooker in the world at 19 iirc.

a goal kicker is probably what the kiwis need more

I think Marshall can kick goals.

He hasn't needed to at the Tigers with Hodgson, Covell, Richards and Prince all able to kick.

Yeah, but there will most probably be other injuries so we might lack in another position....

Their are a few prospects coming through in the NRL that are kiwis...we wont be short of talent by the 2008 world cup....

Gee give Thomas a break...he has a bloody centre as his attacking partner...so all the Aussie and Britts have to do is target him which they did!!...

We have Marshall, Ropati, Thomas, and Marcus coming through and they are all under 20 or 21???


And dont forget about Latu for our hooking postion....I rather drop Webb and have any of these guys that are born and bred Kiwis play...
