The Changes

[thuganomics]

Vagana (suspended) - Motu Tony
Tahu (Injured) - Tate to wing, Cooper to Centre ?

Other changes ?

 

[The_MaFeeLi_Tiger]

Bennet dropped!

 

[aids]

as the boys on chnl 9 mentioned
a few of the kiwi players in the ESL GF would be up for contention as well.

 

[thuganomics]

Oh the Volcano...Friking imagine Vatuvei and the Volcano on the wings.

 

[shadow grinder]

bennet dropped >>>bellamy coach..

 

[Parrasque]

You think any chance of Grothe taking Tahu's spot? They havn't got any wingers in the squad.

 

[thuganomics]

Grothe should be in the squad.

Grothe and King vs Vanikolo and Vatuvei.

Lance Hohia's Tri-series looks to be over with a suspected Broken Leg.

 

[aids]

Sheens or Murray promoted?

Covelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

I'd have Cooper on the wing for Tahu, and another back on the bench maybe Bowen. I would also have a specialist reseve hooker! Gower is a halfback and he aint as good as Johns! Maybe Farah or Wing. Also I would replace Ryan or Waterhouse and put in Barrett.

 

[lockyno1]

Covelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

He is a nuffy and a Kiwi!

 

[Jono078]

What about Rooney? A proven rep player... If not Rooney probably Sing or Grothe, maybe even Richards ?

 

[thuganomics]

Does anyone think that they will move Barrett to centre? I just have that strange feeling..

 

[Red Bear]

Barrett should be moved to 5/8 or even lock.

 

[girvie]

Hopefully the NZ A hooker Billy Ngawini comes into the squad now that Lance Hohaia will be out.

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Vagana > Jeremy Smith (if suspended)
Hohaia > Vainikolo (Faiumu to hooker, Vatuvei bench, Volcano wing)
Whatuira > Hape (Whatuira was quiet, and Hape is absolutely tearing up SL with Vainikolo, he has to be there)

As for Australia.. these will never happen:

Civoniceva > Skandalis
Ryan > Creagh
Fitzgibbon > Hindmarsh
Tahu > Grothe
Lockyer > Prince ( Johns (C) )
Waterhouse > Laffranchi
Ryles > O'Meley (for lack of a better option)

 

[thuganomics]

Fitzgibbon > Hindmarsh

Don't think Hindy will be back.

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Hindy's fit as a fiddle, a knee specialist has said so, but like I said it won't happen because Bennett doesn't have the grapes to admit he's wrong.

What about Rooney? A proven rep player... If not Rooney probably Sing or Grothe, maybe even Richards ?

Pretty sure Sing has retired from rep football. Ronney was rubbish all year and you know they never pick players when they defect to England!
