    Curious to know for the thousands of posts on the "bolters" thread did anyone pick Dallas?

    Canerbry rarely posts anymore

    ha ha good to on him, a true bolter that pick.

    A few raised eyebrows from me on some of these picks, but quite clear this is not a RWC squad. It will be interesting to see how many of these players will find any game time and a chance to step up.
    Conversely plays like Beaudy, I'm sure will get plenty of time to find any form although for me with a whole season to find some, looks like a player Fozzie just wont give up on..

    Although I didn't expect him to be named (nor deserved it), I do expect RTS to be playing league before year end and if I am Shaun Stevenson, I would be seriously be considering some of the league offers, such a great football talent and would be a shame to lose him, but in squad as cover only..seriously Fozzie GFY.

    Dallas Macleod named MOTM surely on current form he must be in with a chance.

    Shaun Stevenson is in. His naming for injury cover was almost a bit of a windup if you ask me. Dude is probably the most inform outside back in the competition.

    honestly cant imagine what it would be like, getting that kind of call up, must be surreal if you're honestly not expecting it

    I posted the forward pack earlier, but hey why not post the backs now too. Imagine how much world rugby are quaking in their boots at potentially playing this lot.

    Moody
    Coles
    Laulala
    Whitelock
    Vaai
    Frizzel
    Cane
    Savea
    Christie
    Barrett
    Clarke
    Barrett
    ALB
    Jordan
    McKenzie

    They'll have no idea what hit them.

    Ryan will have a huge say in the selection of the forwards so obviously he rates Frizell and Laulala, and isn't so hot on Ioane and Sotutu in their respective positions.

    @Bones That looks like the team we might field against Namibia - with a handful of starters needing match play!

    They'll be quaking. 🙂

    @Bones I reckon there might have to be an injury or maybe two for Braydon to be in France.

    Jordie, Dave, Rieko, Anton.

    Bad management.

    Great fodder for us and the media to talk about but another feather in his dunce management cap in my opinion.

    Yet last year, when Mo-unga, Whitelock & co spoke out in support of him, he was getting stick for being too close and too friendly with the players.....

    The first AB training camp starts on Wed in Mount Maunganui, which explains why the squad was named yesterday, and not after the final.

    Isn't this essentially him crying because he's too close to the players and gets hurt feelings when they don't call him back?

    @Bones said in All Blacks 2023:

    @Steve what what? He contacted dropped players and they didn't get back to him?

    Yep . Apparently so.

    And then he went and mentioned it on TV.

    So people will put 2+2 together and think the likes of Akira and Hoskins have dropped their lip.

    He could be depending on those boys later in the year.

    Bad management.

    Great fodder for us and the media to talk about but another feather in his dunce management cap in my opinion.

    Why is his fault if players don't ring back?? Says there maybe a problem with players'attitude and maybe another reason they not there?

    Danny, Foster is a dick for publicly saying that and saying it hurt his little feelings.

    He should give players some space when they have had news like this. They have had a World Cup dream ended, lost money and may now be thinking of uprooting their family to others parts of the world due to not being selected.

    It’s tough on them and if that’s their way of dealing with it, so be it. What does Fozzie want? To be thanked by them?

    He should know a little bit about how they feel when Razor was going through the process?

    Did he keep a dignified slilence? No, he went crying to the media about it.

    He is a farking hypocrite and a fraud

    I think if they not answering phones etc, the only way to get message to them would be on TV?
    Mate it's tough on anyone who doesn't get picked, you know what, if you want to get picked first thing you do is answer coachs' call and find out what you need to do to get in. Other wise f*** off and sulk in corner, you don't want it bad enough!
    I sick of this moodlecoddling the poor dears, man up FFS!!!!

    @Dan54 who the fuck said anyone is sooking? The only one we know is sooking is Foster, because he had a wee cry about it on the telly. We have no idea what players didn't answer, ring back or what reasons there are. Or have I missed something?
