@Duluth Tuiali'i looks a better pick.

I looked up his Blues career. 3 games as a sub, 0 starts

Depends whether the selection policy is "best team of players from the province who played for the Blues" or "best team of players from the province based on their performances for the Blues".

Thanks bro, left off my bench loosie.

And it’s an old school bench of 7 given most of my faves played during that time.

African Monkey

@taniwharugby Yes he did very briefly in 2003.

@Tim bench: Moulds/Dow, Storey, Waa, Maimuri, Pryor (either haha) Gibson/Nock/Senio, Arlidge, Heem (although possibly start him and Hyland on the bench)

I'd start Tuiali'i at 8.

No Hayden Taylor? (12 games)

@Pepe he'd be a wing/FB option, I did mention him above....he can play mid0field, so would be a good bench option over Hyland
