Cheers. Goes to show how little I watched. Otago or Crusaders?

Highlanders.

He's a victim of the format - he'd walk into the South squad and would likely feature in a Possibles-Probables situation.

@KiwiMurph considering those stats that came out yesterday and he featured in almost every category

Interesting to see Rieko selected as a midfielder. Foster was pretty adamant earlier in the year he saw Rieko as a winger. Rieko's form might have changed his thinking.

Or Goodhue’s or ALB’s!

Bovidae

These look to be the jerseys.

Duluth

Akira and Sotutu both deserve to be there. No need for more 8's

MMT doesn't look ready to me. That game where he barely attempted a tackle would've been noticed

NateHill74

@Duluth not being rude, but maybe a little biased coming from an auckland fan ?

That's never rude, dude!

Kiwiwomble

@Duluth what game? you seem to think its just a know/accepted thing

Duluth

As biased as the selectors

There's gaps in MMT's game. A good prospect but needs to work on not drifting out of games and keeping up the effort on defence

Even though I'm not a huge fan, I think the unluckiest player is Bryn Hall. Starts for the Crusaders but can't make the NI squad.

@Duluth

He made two tackles on the weekend (no misses), 9 with 3 misses against the Saders, and 3 made one missed against the blues. That’s his last three games.

So, he’s probably got a few places to work on and might be pretty tired. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t wear black at some stage.

Edit (added tag so you can see what I’m discussing)

Shocking call to include TTT as someone is not doing their job - if he’s in the AB frame, he has to see more time at the Chiefs.

@NateHill74 no Pari Pari, he’s Injured?

Bovidae

@gt12 Yeah, something isn't right with that situation.

I think it’s the idiots in Chiefs polo shirts, most of whom we won’t see next year.

Kiwiwomble

i think more surprising calls than was expected

DMac fucking lucky that every other starting fullback is needed somewhere else. If the 'landers #8 is a victim of the format, DMac is the big winner.

He only seems to have a tidy pass and hasn't done much else.

Yup he's basically where Akira was a few years ago
