Let's hope they show up Waikato after last year's piss poor crowd!

Any sentimental reasons SJ will get picked?

Tickets selling rapidly for the Kiwis v Kangaroos match, I just got tickets and on 1 side between the 20m lines there are only single seats available, and the other side is moving quickly too

Stacey said he "likes a quiet beer". Thats an understatement lol. (historically at least, maybe it is quiet now)

Current Warrior squad:
Luke Metcalfe wins 100m sprint
Freddy Lussick wins 3k run
Bunty wins bench press.

Last man standing in an all in fist fight with everyone hes ever played with. He couldnt split Campion, Monty and Awen.

Trying to get Jack Howarth to play for Kiwis but Aussies are after him too. Howarth played in Kiwi As last year. Origin is also an issue due to the rules preventing him playing if he chooses kiwis.

CNK and Marata most likely to be named in 30 man squad from Warriors. No mention of anyone else.

No desire to coach Warriors. Seen whats involved and how hard Webby works. But also said never say never.

Wanted all the same people back for the Kiwis that Madge had but wants Kearney there for the whole tournament rather than the first 3 days like last year.

Very disappointed with Warriors season. Couldnt get the consistency of halves and edges playing consistently each week like 2023.

Thin in the halves this year as Foran and Brown both out. Also no Manu (going to rugby) or Brandon Smith.
Sweating on Jahrome Hughes getting through the finals series unscathed.

as Foran and Brown both out

Ah crap, didn't realise Foran was out as well.

TBH if he's fit I kind of like this - given the attention etc, he's likely to play really well

Yeah no Brown, Foran, Smith (even if he hadn’t been playing that well) sucks.

There are actually so many Kiwi eligible halves out there, you just know they won’t play for us - Strange, Fainu, Katoa for example. That would be amazing halves depth for the future if they were keen.

I guess Nikorima comes back into the frame? Not the worst if you’re looking for someone who is primarily a running 6. Or Te Maire?

Crossland has been playing in the halves as well as hooker so you’d think he comes into the squad.
