Aaron Smith’s last home game
Pari Pari Parkinson back
Tug & Sam Gilbert at centreinterested to see Hunt at 15, i still think its his best position, in the past he's been quite good at injecting himself into the line at pace and that might work with Gilbert and TUJ in the midfield
jackson-bachop on the bench suggests Gregory covering midfield....
....think this is actually the closest to what i would field (prob swap TUJ and Gilbert)....

In a game earlier this year the Highlanders played Burns at fullback and Hunt at 10. The opposite to this match
I was curious how many SR games Hunt has played at fullback. It's only 6, I was expecting it to be more:
2018 - 1 match for the Crusaders
2020 - 3 matches for the Highlanders
2021 - 1 match
2022 - 1 match -
@Duluth yeah, i admit im surprised too, thought it would be more, is that starts? might have rotated there a couple more times when we had Ioane and Gatland
my feeling he is better suited there is probably also based on some of his play coming from the back which doesnt mean he was playing fullback, just that he has looked good in the past with a little more space

@Kiwiwomble would've started Withy and had Frizzel or Hicks on the bench. But not going to complain...

Isn't Matt Whaanga the guy who got 60 points for his team back in the day?
Not wanting to mention it was a school game but they might need that sort of individual tally.. -
"Such resilience to be in contention of the finals" dear gawd.. won 4 lost 8 .... more of a comment on the SRP comp....
Hope they can give Nuggy a good send off , but can see the Reds spoiling the party
