Want to see a back three of Hurley, Manson and Tangitau in a couple of weeks. Hope we retain Hastie and nine and keep Faktava for impact

Manson has loads of upside, but his defence is awful. I'd be nervous about that back three to be honest. Gilbert is not perfect, but he brings stability and a decent kicking game.

Don’t you think might be too small of a back three?

Yeah I go back and forward around what is best. Gilbert annoys me. But he does his job. Tangitau and Hurley should be picked. Then it is just who the third is. The stability of Gilbert is useful in an inexperienced backline. Nareki's return will be good for the balance.

Nah. Tangitau is nearly 100kg. Manson 90. Hurley will always be a midget. A tough as anything midget.

@KiwiMurph Hastie I thought was subbed for a reason. He slightly over does his running game, but his massive left boot is extremely helpful in this side. Both will be needed throughout the season... but gee, how was he rated below Arscott, who looked like a small child when he came on?

Geez that's rugby. I am knackered watching it, players must be almost dead. The Highloanders must feel like they can do with a holiday. For them how good was Holland again, Big Jim (again) and I have to disagree with a few, I thought Gilbert was bloody good. And Hastie? I knew he was ok, but by the powers he was bloody good. MP were not rubbish either, Ardie is a monster sometimes . Great game.

No why should I?? I made my feelings clear, I had no probs with it. Could you not understand that? I said it repeatedly!! I thought AB selectors would mark it down.. I love the game he plays, it is just what Super needs.
I can watch games like that all the time! -
