@hydro11 Remember, this is also the MP 3rd string team. They have an awfully long list of unavailable players.
3rd string is a bit far isn't it? Blues are missing RTS and Beaudy as well.
Unavailable for selection: Xavier Cowley-Tuioti, Jack Lam, Josh Kaifa, Isi Tu’ungafasi, Lotu Inisi, Don Lolo, D’Angelo Leuila, Niko Jones, Levi Aumua, Danny Toala, Henry Taefu, Taukiaha’amea Koloamtangi, Lolagi Visinia, Manu Paea, Jonathan Taumateine, Samuel Slade, Neria Foma’i, Tima Fainga’anuku, Ray Niuia
Added today: Curry and Tuitavuki.
I honestly don't think any of those players would make a substantial difference.

Nock tends to always play better when he starts vs off the bench.
He really doesn't play well off of the bench
Time to move on
Christie & Funaki should be the halfbacks

They’ve been a really good addition, I think its really pleasing to see how good they are.

They're also a different type of team. Although a lot of their players have come through NZ, they've got their own way of playing.

Bit mystified why Taumateine not given more time by MP. Great to see McRobbie with 80 minutes though. Tavatavanawai and Kata looked good.
But Auckland forwards too dominant. Tucker Eklund Dalton and Hodgman all very good. Zarn and Perofeta are great to watch too.
