theyre not all copies of each other either....im hoping to see a little rotation depending on opposition, if we can keep all four fit and sharp (experienced) and actually play to their strengths......im getting excited

Isn't Reece heading off to France later this year? I'd pick Clarke, Telea and Nawera. Reece's defensive issues were still apparent in the tougher games, will be exposed even more at the higher level.
I'd rather take a punt on Nawera.
Rumor only, signed until the end of the year, I think

he was a standout in a bottom of the table team.
That's not always as good as you're making out.
Think Aumua when he was at MP...

They've all got defensive weaknesses. I doubt Tele'a will be used on the left wing, and wouldn't be surprised if Reece started ahead of him on the right.
-
through Tavatavanawai in the discussion if we're talking defence, he's been bloody solid and LOVES a turnover
-
@Kiwiwomble He's like a Fijian Rene Ranger.
-
I though Nareki would be in the conversation. His left boot would be a weapon like Lowe for Ireland.
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack he's also a machine on defence, text book hard low tackles....but he shone at super level before and not got a sniff so assume they just see something they dont like

Happy to wait untill he's got his pace back, certainly signs of it in his last game.

Or, there's a logjam of talent outside.
Reece
Clarke
Jordan
Barrett
etc ... there are a lot of really really good outside backs. -

how he didn;t get a shot above bridge i cant explain

I really like ENS too, just does things right, makes good decisions and seems very error free.
Good boot too.

Yeah and smart kicking, not just hoof it and hope.

No mention of Shaun Stevenson ?
-
-
The winning SR Final halfback will probably start against England
-
Christie has had a bloody charmed run.
-Got selected for the ABs because of there being no viable alternatives behind Smith (admittedly showing some good form)
-Has never showed anything special in Black
-Inexplicably preferred over Roigard for key finals match-ups in the World Cup.
-Clearly usurped by his back-up at the Blues this year.
-Tin-asses his way into the ABs because of Roigard's injury, his rivals' inexperience, and perceived steadiness.
-Now, if the Blues win, he might ride the coat tails of the Blues forwards as the starting halfback for the ABs.
(oh - and he's ginga)
