Ultimate NPC: - Otago

[shark]

Brew was garbage for Otago early on. It was only his last couple of seasons at centre when he started to come right and was just starting to dominate when he disappeared.

[booboo]

@Kiwiwomble couldn't squeeze Timu in? Could he play on the left instead of Cook?

[booboo]

@Nepia said in Ultimate NPC: - Otago:

Damn, some weird recency bias in this thread - Evans over Randell, Hunt bracketed with Kronfeld?????
No John Timu?

Ioane mentioned before Bachop?

Could do but as I said, record try scorer counts for something and I think ioane has a long ABs carrier ahead of him competition permitting

[Kiwiwomble]

so apparently first NPC team gets dibs and goldie played for southland...so...Cooke and timu on the wings?

[Kiwiwomble]

so...my revised list taking some advise onboard

1. Kees Meeuws / Carl Hoeft

2. Dave Latta

3. Carl Hayman

4. Simon Maling

5. James Ryan

7. Kronfield

8. Randell

9. Byron Kelleher

10. Tony Brown

11. Paul Cooke

12. John Leslie

14. Timu

15. Bender

so 6. and 13.? Joseph and Ellis?

That was my thought when I saw the gaps

[Kiwiwomble]

@Crucial i was just starting to wonder about someone like Thomson at 6, more games for the AB's means he's better?

[dogmeat]

I'd put Randell at 6 and have Pene at 8. I know Taine played well at 8 for Otago but he always looked like a 6 to me. carved it up there for AB's too

[Kiwiwomble]

@dogmeat me too but after my original post people seemed to list him as an 8 more often

[Bovidae]

@dogmeat said in Ultimate NPC: - Otago:

Yeah, I mentioned that at the start of the thread. Some wanted to move Randell to no.8 so that Joseph was at 6.

[dogmeat]

6 Randell / 8 Pene is significantly better than 6 Joseph / 8 Randell and also gives your team a much better chance of finishing the match with 15 players

[Kiwiwomble]

so....

1. Carl Hoeft

2. Dave Latta

3. Carl Hayman

4. Simon Maling

5. James Ryan

6. Randell

7. Kronfield

8. Pene

9. Byron Kelleher

10. Tony Brown

11. Paul Cooke

12. John Leslie

13. Ellis

14. Timu

15. Bender

can i suggest this as the current position?

[mariner4life]

that's good enough to play a semi i reckon, and push that game hard

[shark]

I'm happy with that.

[Bones]

I was going to suggest Maka, nice @macmanus

Did Stanley play for Otago, or only Auckland?

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones just Auckland I believe

[Gunner]

@Kiwiwomble no Jeff Wilson, whaaaaaaaat?

How did Brewer miss out on this team and Pene make it? Justify yourself Otago-ites.
