Look like kiwi wooden spooners to me. Sorry Landers fans.
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.

@HLD2023Champions no Moses Leo..?, not often i get a poor source seemed pretty convinced maybe better suited to 7s ..

Going to need another halfback as well.
TTT
Might have to be.

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

@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
Yeah, he was one of the players I was thinking of. Faleafaga being the other.
-
@Bovidae true although isn't he a 10? and we already seem to have too many of those

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.
-
@SouthernMann ok, with ya, i can see that but younger banks did a job for us...hell, i would take jackson over banks...definitely dont need banks and millar

The socials are really nasty. This team is not going to be cut any slack next season. Fans are expecting it to fail and will slam it every week is loses. It really looks like the calibre of team that ran around at the end of Carisbrook/start o FB era. Shithouse.
-
shit its hard to get excited about next season....
-
@Kiwiwomble Fakatava acl injury is tough as I sense he would have his fair share of starts in the 9 Jersey, I just hope the team can have a more respectable showing than last season, losing to the Waratahs at home and losing to the Rebels was the lowest of lows
