Selby-Rickit off to the Chiefs I hear. Tucker to replace him.
Will be interesting to see if he gets gametime for the Chiefs. Will be tough to see him punching past their three ABs. On the otherside I doubt the Landers will be too cut up about losing him. The top three locks are quite handy and probably sitting ahead of Selby-Rickett now.

@SouthernMann Don't think the coaches were ever that fond of MSR... as we know, a bit of a special record off the field.

@Chris Don't forget Lord is probably out injured most of the season, and Ah Kuoi and Va'ai might both be more suited to playing 6.
Is not Lord back for start of SR.Yep I can see AH Kuoi being used at 6 with Bay Of Plenty using him there for NPC.

From a Highlanders perspevtive. You have Dickson who has been in the All Black set up. Then Holland is just an absolute sponge and keeps on improving everytime he steps on the field. We know what PPP can do when he is on. Max Hicks is also a solid bench option. So not phased by MSR going.

@SouthernMann I think an MSR/Dickson combo is excellent. A bit of a "lite" version of Retallick/Whitelock.

Skill wise Holland blows them both out of the water. Dickson is the mongrel, Holland just can do everything. The guy is young though. Only in his second year out of school. There is no way he can or should play every week. Plenty of rotation between him, PPP and Dickson is in order. Think Max Hicks can add a fair bit coming on late too. Really like the idea of him, Withy, Fakatava, Ma'u and hopefully Pole bringing aome heat off the bench.

@SouthernMann I just remember MSR making a brief comeback and showing really well around the park.

If true, MSR could take Brown's spot with Ah Kuoi becoming a 6. I honestly wouldn't be too bothered if PGS left.

Stupid. Should be the other way around.
