@kiwiinmelb Jordie and Ice. Two players that looked/look best at 12 but hardly ever play/played there!

They hardly ever play there but are best there?
Somehow quite a few selectors must disagree -

I think Jordie will be on the bench for the big games.
If it's tight and we need a 50 metre penalty goal he's the only one in the squad capable.
If it's tight he's the guy most likely to make a game losing clanger from where I'm sitting.

For some reason I see Sam Cane dropping a ball as we’re building towards a game saving/winning try in the dying minutes of a knock out game....

@ACT-Crusader cos Matt Todd?

When does SouthernMan release the team?
It’s 8pm in Perth, I’ll give him 4 hours or else he’s banned.

Nothing to do with Todd. I just get nervous when he’s passed the ball. In saying that I’ve had the same nervousness with McCaw circa 02-03, Nonu pre-08

Be careful, man!
My impression is TWM know where they're going on LH, and given the squad the implication is Moli in.

Does anyone else think LS should be told to go jump?
Not sure what it does for team moral if he picks up the phone and says « I might just play for the ABs after all » and bam straight into the RWC squad. Sends out a weird message to whichever loose forward misses out.

@ACT-Crusader well given your history, of you know, more Cantabs makes for a better AB team....was only tongue in cheek comment anyway

Depends what the circumstances are, and whether everyone knows what the circumstances are, and whether the coaches have outlined to the other contenders that they'll pick him if he's available?
I have no idea what they are, but let say he has a sick child (say terminally ill), I think most people involved in the ABs camp would be sympathetic to him taking time out and figuring out whether he's up to it. But, I repeat, I have no idea of circumstances are and maybe if they're not serious then he should be told to go jump.

Considering how Shag was with players who displayed less than full loyalty to the cause (Piatau, Luatua), I can only assume whatever is going on with Liam he has a mighty good excuse for them to cut him slack
