Geoff Cridge...?

Another long-term injury. Has really bad luck, that lad. But also no Renton, who's fit and played well during Mitre 10 Cup.

Never been a supporter of Cridge, mainly because he was permanently injured but having watched Walker-Leawere a few times playing for Poneke you could say that I did not see what the selectors see in him and am unsure whether he is better player than Cridge. I know I would have both ahead of James Blackwell though.

@tim I'm OK with Kiri Kiri as a quik, .attacking loosie (similar type of player to Pryer) but what does Matt Matich have to do to get a chance? His tackling stats are over 90%, Kiri Kiri's are 80% and he supports and carries often and effectively.

@daffy-jaffy Apparently Matich has been called into the Chiefs as injury cover. Also, Kirikiri is more of a 7 than Matich?
