No Finau! FFS.
Christie.
Havilli.
🤮
Ah well, time to shut off my phone and hopefully watch a good movie over the Ta$man.
Drama queens a plenty on this forum. You’d think these guys are disabled cripples. Sure Christie is no world-beater but he’s hardly dreadful. I don’t think Webber is so amazingly good that it’s a shocking decision. And I don’t think ennor is so incredible that Havili is lucky. Besides ennor is probably injured. As for finau he had an anonymous first half then showed up better against a tiring Aussie pack.
-
maybe they are going to stack the bench with wingers like the fijians do

Gee just when we were getting comfortable with fozzies randomness, we are back in that uncomfortable place
given us something to talk about
you read through the list and it's all good right up until 5 loosies, which is madness.
then the undeserving ginger
then 5 friggen wingers
and the fact they keep listing BB with the first fives when he is clearly no longer an option to be named there, and is in fact the fullback. They've taken two tens and 6 outside backs

@mariner4life yeah unfortunately Foster keeping his Waikato jersey on under his AB coat

Dreadful is just the word to describe him. Or do you not actually watch him play?
-
they have gambled an awful lot on both Retallick being fit, AND Frizzell maintaining form.

Finau made 17 tackles in that game, carried well and showed himself to be a good line out option. He should have made the squad.

This!
Plus Dmac is quite likely the next cab off the rank at 15 if Beauden gets injured.
Very very strange squad. I cant believe they didn’t name an addition lock or loose forward (or both!)

Interesting is the squad makeup and who missed out.
-
An extra wing and just five loose forwards is pretty bizarre - but other than that, it's pretty much as expected. I thought Moody would likely make it, so interested to hear if he's close to fit.
On The Breakdown Laura McGoldrick says, five loose forwards, does that mean Scott Barrett will play some games at 6. The expert analysts all howl "no". I'd say that's exactly what's in the offing, Laura.
