What’s out there at Second Five?

@nzzp Laumape. There is that argument that he is not getting a chance. He doesn’t play bad for Wellington with TJP inside him. I agree about Fiane. Too small and not talented enough. Where is someone built like Caleb Clark? Jordie could be an option although going do that route sounds like we are buying into the Foster approach to selection. Play everyone out of position. He is big and not afraid to tackle but perhaps he should be playing fullback instead of his brother.
So you'd like someone 10kg heavier (and taller) than Laumape, and is like Caleb Clarke, to start in the midfield? I know someone who fits that description!!

@ACT-Crusader he's only listed as 99kg too...
Ardie plays bigger than his weight (don’t trust the internet) suggests.
If we want size, then Fainga'anuku might be the guy, 6’2 and 110kg

Fainga’nuku will end up at centre the crusaders may use him to cover centre at times while Ennor is injured so I hear around the traps.That way they can take some work load away from Havalli and Goodhue having to front up every week in the MF

Rieko is listed at 103kg.
I wonder if he is the man. OK, we wouldn't be making the most of his speed on the outside channels but Rieko could certainly bend the defensive line. And if he developed a SBW-like offload.

Did you see him at 12 when Tana played him there? Such a waste.
Developing as a 13, but not a candidate at 12 for me.

@ACT-Crusader I was thinking about him as a 12 today funnily enough. Sounds silly right now but with the options the Crusaders have out wide, he may eventually get pushed in.
I guess we could give Rieko a go at 12 after the success he had there with the Blues a couple of seasons ago.

Haha didn't see this while posting. Rieko was a car crash is slow motion at 12 for the Blues. One of the worst selections I've ever seen from a Blues coach and he kept him there all season.

Jordie for christ sake.

Based on a few handy games at 13 this year?
