23 EvansCribb was always an 8 so that takes care of one of your brackets. And when you bracket a player they also need to be bracketed in the reserves.

Who for openside flanker? Four names spring to mind: Gordon Simpson, Liam Barry, Matua Parkinson, and Craig Newby.
Kevin Schuler was more of a six wasn't he?
Dillon Hunt would be ahead of Parkinson and Simpson.

I’d have sharkey ahead of ant
Yeah me too.
Poor old Richard Turner not even getting a mention for consideration!
Ant over Sharkey for me. Pod (since we're using nicknames) is up against Buck so easy to overlook him I guess. If you don't use him we might put him the Magpies team.

That comment reminds me of this review I took a photo of in the Rugby News after an AB trial.

@JK we’re well sorted from 8 up. Have plenty of options at 6 and 7 without having anyone world class but the lower numbers apart from a couple of obvious standouts are comparative journeymen
To use my favoured airline ticket analogy Our backs Apart from 9 are all looking forward to first class tickets although a couple are on stand by They’ll will be joined by an 8 lock and #1 but the rest are business class and a couple of our bench options are premier economy
Depending on the draw we should still go deep in the Comp but losing semi finalist is the best we can hope for 😟
Of course that’s amazing for a team that’s only played 35 seasons

Sounds about right! We'll probably upset the eventual winners in round robin but then lose the semi final we should really have won

Despite him being one of my favourite players ever I would drop Rushy for Oz and put Evans into FB.
Yep.
Don't think that Northland will "release" Kamo for you. Assuming that is the Jones that you mean. Boric was pretty bloody good though (when not broken).
