    Grace wasn't even good for the Canterbury bench.

    I wouldn't select him but I had to add some Crusaders players in there. 😉

    TBF, not being good and Crusaders bench is not really a selection hurdle.

    Hate to say it but I don't mind Kellow.

    Goes well. Not a bad selection. I'd rate him higher than Kirifi.

    Jeez that's a big call, Kirifi was the difference maker for the Lions, especially against Waikato in the semi. His leadership alone is only matched by a small few in New Zealand. I recall Kellow playing well for Canterbury but not to the extent of Kirifi since he's come back.

    An opinion I'm sticking by. Reckon he has a higher ceiling. Will be a good challenger for Lakai to compete with.

    Just for me I reckon he's got a bit of physicality about him (on both sides of the ball 🙂 ).

    For the record, I'm neutral for both player's Super and NPC teams. (Although DPK's dad was my first ever Senior A club coach ... from some time before .young fulla was born.)

    Fair call mate, he's definitely better than Christie so at least he got the call-up before him.
