fucking scraping the barrel here aren't we?
Peta Hiku? Was cooked 12 months ago when every Cowboys supporter celebrated his departure.
More than one fringe first grader
Griffin Neame has had a terrible season.
Oh and a dude who is Cheese's coke mate.We're going to get pounded.
You said that last year to. I'm slightly more confident now.

Leota is injured. Peter Hiku has gone quite well for the Kiwis in the past, he was part of the Stephen Kearney era in which we were very good. Not sure of his form in the UK. This should really be a Four team tournament. I do however expect the Aussies to dominate early and hopefully we can play ourselves into some form against Tonga. A few Kiwis with points to prove, like Riki who is from a gun team which has been underperforming. Hopefully at the very least we are competitive and build some depth for the future. Origin has cancelled out a number of options for us, hopefully we have picked up some good young guns from the Panthers to counter that. Samoa are playing the Poms this year.

Glad he backflipped on his original decision to be unavailable. We're slightly less fucked now.

@Gunner said in Rugby League - Kiwis:
Just realised Te Marie Martin isn’t in the team.
Why the fuck not, he was great for the Warriors this year.
I obviously don’t watch enough league, as the only halves I recognise from that list are Nikorima and SJ now that Hughes has been scratched.
He's injured.

Which confirms my last post.
New Zealand are at risk of copping another blow ahead of the Pacific Championships, with Peta Hiku facing a long ban in the English Super League.
-
Blow? This will improve us
That said i have seen the incident in question and 5 weeks would actually be criminal
-
Yeah, dont think he is that essential either but wow if he gets five weeks for that, there is something seriously wrong.

I've now seen the video and the fact he's being asked to defend his actions is the most idiotic thing I've seen in sport for quite some time.

New Zealand centre Peta Hiku can play in the Pacific Championships, after being found not guilty of touching an injured player in the English Super League.
