    I've been impressed by Mafileo for Harbour. Harbour scrum going well and some nice charges.

    @gt12 hunt has done it at super level and also excellent in mitre 10 cup. 1 mediocre game does not mean a lot in scale of things. But I think both hunt and popoali’i should be picked in all black squad

    We're far better than these guys but we keep letting them in it with poor discipline which has been a problem all year.

    People aren't actually serious about Bryn Hall being an AB contender right?

    @sparky Gareth Evans should be picked ahead of these two. I don't know what everyone sees in Dillon Hunt, good player but doesn't exactly set the house on fire. I really like Dalton, but probably a bit young at this stage.

    @canes4life why should Evans be picked ahead of a specialist 7?

    @canes4life I like Evans too but I'd pick Papali'i no bias intended. He's a star and is only gonna get better. Having said that, I wouldn't be upset if Evans got a cap somewhere. He's a solid operator.

    at a collapsed maul, how long does the ref have to give for the team to clear it?

    SOme refs give them a few seconds, some, as soon as it collapses, they blow it up regardless if the 9 is digging for it.

    @african-monkey

    They probably need two, and I’d be tempted to take Evans as a potential bench option. Can do the Ardie role covering 7/8 if required (although Papalii gets the bench spot in my team).

    @kiwimurph yep, a specialist 7 is the one they are looking to replace, why replace him with a utility?

    @kiwimurph Because he is a better 7 than Hunt when he plays in that position.
