2. Utai (Bulldogs)

13. Williams (Bulldogs)


14. Halatau (Tigers)
15. Palea'aesina (Warriors)
16. Cayless ( Parra)
17. Thorn (Brisbane)

 

[Johns Magic]

Is Thorn available for NZ?

Also, Jones is retired.

 

[gaterooze]

That's a very good looking team... very good indeed. If that's the way they go, it should be a great test match.

 

[In-goal]

It would be good if they could get Vainakolo out for that match.

 

[Johns Magic]

Kidwell will make the team, and he will start in front of Harrison.

Roy Asotasi should be in there somewhere too.

 

[aids]

Is Thorn available for NZ?

Also, Jones is retired.

i don't know?
but assuming he was an ex all black player, just maybe.



if Jones is retired, who would fill in for him?
Hohia?
Ropati?

 

[Johns Magic]

Marshall at half?

Your putting a player thats never played in the position in the most crucial spot?

Dicey.

 

[legend]

Pretty buig bench and as much as I wouldn't feed him at the moment, Nathan Cayless will probably be there somewhere. ABsolute dog of a player. For a captinof an NRL club, he has no ticker and never leads by example.

 

[Ari Gold]

1.Ropati/Webb
2.Utai
3.Whatuira
4.Vagana
5.Meli / Vainakolo (if he's available)
6.Marshall
7.Jones ( im expecting him to make a comeback if he regains his old form)
8. Cayless
9. L Anderson
10. Rauhihi <<<<<<WHAT A FORWARD PACK!
11. Wiki
12. Puletua
13 Williams


14 Kidwell
15 Asotasi
16 Galuvao
17 Lautiti (if hes available)

then you have players like N Cayless, Chan, Joe Vagana, Hape, V Anderson, Paelesina who are fighting for a spot on the bench.......

their forward pack is bloody deadly, but the halves are a lil thin but hopefully if jones plays it'll help the situation a bit.

Who else is there?

The only other option to play halfback is Lance Hohaia.

And wheres Hunt? Sitting alone in Brisbane watching the game on TV.

Agreed. I have no idea how this guy has made it so far. He's always in the Kiwi side too :twisted:

I could go along with that.

I had Joe Gulavao in there, but he really hasn't done that much this season. Kidwell too though has been impressive for Melbourne.

 

[Balmain_Boy]

Why Louis Anderson? He's pretty average.

 

[ThrashViking]

NZ has little depth in the halfs even with the super league players available, he filled in at hooker last year and did a good job.
