[hybrid_tiger]

Benji will NOT be fit

And even if he was he wouldnt play - leave him to be with the Tigers for the pre-season.

 

[carlnz]

NZ Side to take on Australia and Great Britian at season end.


5. Mike Davis (parra)

Who is this guy???

 

[T]

i reckon dene halatua and bronson harrison have to be given a shot they were outstanding for the tigers on saturday and are the kiwis future IMO

 

[HRVTSKA]

He ment Josh DAVIS.......remember this name ;-)

 

[SpaceMonkey]

As usual, a wealth of forwards and no halves/fullback :?

 

[[furrycat]]

Utai!?

 

[Iafeta]

I would assume, given the unavailabilities of the retirees, the injured, the purely unavailable and those who have British club committments the team might look something like this: 1 Webb 2 Vainakolo 3 Vagana 4 V Anderson 5 Meli (only because Utai is out) 6 Williams 7 Ropati 8 J Cayless 9 L Anderson 10 Rauhihi 11 Puletua 12 Gulavao 13 Wiki (c) Bench Paleaaesina N Cayless Kidwell Asotasi - after the first test they'll bring into the squad Lesley Vainakolo, Robbie Pau, Tevita Vaikona and Ali Lauitiiti. Not the worst looking team except the lack of a specialist halfback. Ropati is a good, young kid, Webb will be the secondary kicker and they'll use Williams as a bit of a back row ball player as he currently is.

 

[[furrycat]]

Williams at 5/8? I'd personally love to see it!

 

[shiznit]

this would be my side if i was Ando.
if i get people thats not available just let me know.

1. S. Hape (bradford) (i tried to think outside the box here. anyone but Brent Webb, am i the only kiwi that thinks aussies should be kept away from a kiwis jearsey's?)
2. M. Utai (bulldogs) (assuming Ando wants him)
3. N. Vagana (sharks)
4. V. Anderson (warriors)
5. F. Meli (warriors)
6. SB. Williams (bulldogs) (ive been wanting to see him here all year. what ever happens the kid will give his all)
7. T. Leuluai (warriors) (lets just face it, hes the most experienced half we have. although in both tests hes played in, he impressed me)
8. J. Cayless (roosters) (this guy has to be here)
9. R. Paul (vc) (bradford) (would have to help out the halves at times)
10. P. Rauhihi (cowboys) (same as J cayless)
11. T. Puletua (penrith)
12. J. Gulavao (penrith)
13. R. Wiki (c) (raiders)

14. N. Cayless
15. A. Lauititi
16. R. Asotasi
17. J. Ropati (cover for fullback and halves)

 

[Dragon Fanatic]

Parramatt again having no idea at all about Rugby League.
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[JasonE]

Shontayne Hape will be one centre, he has improved out of sight.

 

[Iafeta]

He won't be for the first match because he won't be available with Bradford committments.

Scrub Vinnie Anderson from my time, I was unaware Jamal Lolessi would be back. He'd be near on first picked.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

Just off the subject a bit. There are two Paul boys, Robbie and the others name escpaes me. One went to union in Britian and seemed to disappear. What happened there and can either make the kiwi team?

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Bronson Harrison has the be in 17 somewhere - he has been absolutley tearing it up at the tigers this year
