My Kiwis 17

4 Joseph Tomane
5 Shaun Kenny-Dowall
6 Benji Marshall
7 Kieran Foran
8 Sam Rapira
9 Issac Luke

R Fuifui Moimoi
R Adam Blair
R Jeff Lima
R Sam Perett
18 Frank-Paul Nuuausala (he should be playing, maybe swap with Rapira)

Got some good depth in the forwards

I would try and get Pritchard in there too

Stand by - Krisnan Inu, Jason Nightingale, Kevin Locke, Bryson Goodwin, Ben Roberts, Aaron Heremaia, Jerome Ropati, Zeb Taia, Ben Matulino

 

[Glen from the Mount]

That looks like a very good team. One change I would make is Heremaia for Perett on the bench (assuming Heremaia can maintain his current good form).

Also, based on 4 Nations form from last year, Nuuausala may have the jump on Rapira.

 

[dazza]

has tomane said he wants to play for nz? if so, i`d have him in any day of the week.

i like that team, & if they want to give isaac a rest, lance to hooker perrett to f/b



cheers dazza

 

[Glen from the Mount]

Good point about Tomane. I believe he was available for the Kiwis when he first played for the Storm but last I heard he was considering a move to the dark side. Hopefully we are not too late to save him.

 

[Scottey]

If SKD keep up the form then sure... but Perrett is a solid performer. I'd have him on the right wing. Like Adam Blair as a second rower as opposed to a prop.

1 - Lance Hohaia
2 - Sam Perrett
3 - Joseph Tomane
4 - Steve Matai
5 - Manu Vatuvei
6 - Benji Marshall
7 - Kieran Foran
8 - Sam Rapira
9 - Isaac Luke
10 - Roy Asotasi
11 - Simon Mannering
12 - Bronson Harrisson
13 - Jeremy Smith

14 - Aaron Heremaia
15 - Fui Fui Moi Moi
16 - Jeff Lima
17 - Adam Blair

That pack is looking good, considering no Pritchard, Nuuasaala, Cayless brothers, Steve Rapira, $BW.

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

Feels good to finally see two really good halves in there for us.

Gone are the days of playing players out of position in the 6 and 7.

 

[Noa]

Tomane is along way from being ready to play center at this level.

Kearney will know that better then anyone, maybe a chance for wing though.

 

[Dirty Hoe]

obviously bored...talking the anzac game. why even bother after 2 rounds

but anyway, too even suggest heremaia and tomance are test players is a joke in itself and even more so that you use 2 games to justify their selection.

foran needs another year playing nrl before even being thought of. its not going to do the team or himself any favours throwing him in there early, to be ragged by every tom, dick and harry after a mediocre performance.

That's what the kiwis is all about these days though...

[Drzoidberg]

Im sure Tomane wants to play for QLD but may have this mixed up with RU.

Forans played for the kiwis before, wtf is wrong with chucking young guys in? Happened Isaac Luke only just turned 18, then 19, who ends up playing hooker Halatau who plays backrow! so who would we have as HB? roberts or crazy eyes? no thanks! Foran is the best we have availible so far

LOL @ Heremia possible Kiwi selection after two not lighting the world on fire maybe solid performances with mistakes

You must be bored...complaining about us talking about the ANZAC test.
We bother because we can. I'm not suggest Tomane after 2 games - I include all the games he played last year for the champs Melbourne.

Foran is ready, there is no one else.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Add Corey Norman to the list. His dad is a kiwi

R Frank Pritchard / JHG
R Jeff Lima
R Lance Hohaia

18 Terrance Seu Seu
19 Lewis Brown

 

[tezzah]

Seu Seu has been lucky to get any game time on the playing field- reckon he'll get more game fitness in QLD Cup.
Lance to full back- Goodwin, SKD and Perret to duck it out for wing spot. Foran to half back.
Lewis Brown is far from Kiwi's selection.
1 Lance Hohaia
2 Manu Vatuvei
3 Steve Matai
4 Junior Sau
5 Bryson Goodwin, Sam Perret, SKD -whoevers in the best form
6 Benji Marshall
7 Kieran Foran
8 Jeff Lima
9 Issac Luke
10 Roy Asotasi
11 Adam Blair
12 Bronson Harrison
13 Jeremy Smith

R Fuifui Moimoi
R Frank Pritchard
R Sam Rapira
R Mannering, may get ahead of Pritchard for 2nd row but can also cover centre/lock?

Does this team need a utility player off the bench ala Hohaia and have say Inu/Perret in full back?
Inu, Locke, Matulino and Tomane not in contention as yet...

 

[doogiehowser_md]

Considering Tuiaki & Fien will be out I will go with
1. Hohaia
2. Goodwin
3. Sau
4. Perrett
5. Vatuvei
6. Marshall
7. Foran
8. Asotasi
9. Luke
10. Blair
11. Mannering
12. Harrison
13. Smith

14. MoiMoi
15. Pritchard
16. Waerea-Hargreaves
17. Glenn

 

[southy]

At least now we can have debate about a team for the ANZC test. for too long we have pieced together a team.

from what Kearney has said in the past, he wants forwards who can play fast and a team that can play with width.

I see a team that barring injuries is

1.Hohaia
2. Nightingale/Perrett
3. Sau (if fit)
4. Matai
5. Vatuvei (if fit)
6. Marshall
7. Foran
8. Nuuasala
9. Luke
10.Asotasi
11. Pritchard
12. Harrison
13. Smith

14. Moi Moi
15. Blair
16. Heremia
17. Lima

Kearney likes his Melbourne type boys and he will give preference to those that went on tour, maybe Mannering will come in as he is hard but we will see.
