    I guess Ratima also misses out on this squad, which is a shame

    Yeah, even if McMillan picks 3 halfbacks Ratima might be the one who misses out.

    @Machpants I heard that the team would be named today. I was a bit surprised they didn't name the squad after the ABs squad was named.

    @Bovidae They (MABs) never pick three halfbacks for just two games in NZ. One may be on stand-by, but not in the squad.

    I just read a post in the Stuff discussion that mentioned the MABs being named tomorrow.

    Considering we have always had a huge gap behind Smith it is good we have competition at 9, even if they never reach Smith status at least they are putting pressure on each other.

    @Stargazer If they are taking these games seriously, which they will be, I would be picking a larger squad so all players are training together. There will be less disruption if there are injuries.

    @Stargazer given I read the reason they chose the location of the announcement was a nod to the Maori and Pacific influence in our game.

    But, is TJP injured?

    Only his pride.

    I expect he'll be the captain now.

    @Bovidae yeah, him or Weber. Unless McMillan has the same strange fascination with Prinsep as Holland has.

    Someone's claiming a squad leak over on reddit.

    Cameron Suafoa has Maori heritage? That might be BS.

    Tamaiti Williams Ollie Norris Marcel Renata Jermaine Ainsley Tyrel Lomax Leni Apisai Kurt Eklund Tyrone Thompson Isaia Walker Leawere Manaaki Selby Rickit Josh Dickson Reep Prinsep Caleb Delany Billy Harmon TK Howden Cameron Suafoa Max Hicks
