    You know things are dog tucker when you have to retain players like Paea and Dawai. Might as well lock us in as whipping boys now. What a joke of a squad. Knew most of it was coming, just hoped some of the rubbish would be moved on.

    Most other teams depth squad embers would walk straight into our 23. A lot of our 23 wouldn't make other squads. A really said looking squad.

    The Highlanders should have promoted some of their U20 backs now.

    @Bovidae seeing as though we've only got four Midfielders 1 of which is regularly on the sidelines, we'll probably see Jake te Hiwi feature during the season

    IS DLB converting to hooker?

    Another disappointing aspect. I would have thought Abraham Pole should have been a lock in over the top of DLB.

    Yeah, he was one of the players I was thinking of. Faleafaga being the other.

    He can play 10, 12 or 15. I think he is probably best at 10/12 might not have the top end speed for 15. I'm just concerned Millar doesn't have the out and out play making ability to stand out at Super level. A similar prospect to a Banks or Garden-Bachop. While I feel Faleafaga is more likely to create something. The other guy is young Finn Hurley, who must be about 70kg wringing wet. Would get smoked at this level.

    @SouthernMann dont get equating CGB and Banks...CGB has been a bit of a standout when fit over the last couple of years

    @Kiwiwomble I think that Banks is a wasted selection when Faleafaga is contracted 12 months later.

    @Bovidae agreed, already said in here im not sure why banks is still here

    i would be worried if we ended up with 9 arscott 10 millar 12 Faleafaga...thats a green axis

    edit: comments on the socials pretty bad with a lot of the same comments, bloody hell i'd like to just walk a comp one year...its bloody tough most of the time

    I meant Jackson. Millar gives me vibes of him and Banks. Historically reminds me of guys like Matt Berquist, Chris Noakes and James Aldridge. Or even Blair Feeney. I just can't see him breaking a game open.
