<p>If <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Riccitelli gets the call up that'd be some meteoric rise for him, from Hurricanes squad player, to bench, to starting to ABs all in a few weeks.</span></p>

<p>Yes, to think this 21 year old wasn't even named in the squad or WTG initially. He only got a short term injury cover contract when Coles was injured at the end of 2015 and that contract was extended because the coaches liked what they saw during training and a few short stints off the bench when also Matu'u and Apisai went down. Apisai recovered from his injury but Riccitelli had already overtaken him ... </p> -
<p>I went Elliott and RR...never been a fan of Parsons, although this year was considerably better to the one where he got his AB cap.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If an emergency SOS I would expect they'll fall back on someone like Elliott rather than a newbie like RR, although it wouldn't surprise me if they took a punt either.</p> -
<p>Well, with Coltman and Parsons (my least favourite hookers of this lot) being asked to join the ABs, I guess the positive for Magpies fans is that they get to keep both their hookers. I was a bit worried about that, considering the number of injuries we already have and all the players we've lost from last year's squad.</p>

<p>I doubt Riccitelli was even in the selectors minds. His time will come. Parsons deserves his call up as he has performed well all season. Is Hika Elliott injured? He didn't play for Counties this week. I wouldn't have picked Coltman personally but I'm sure he won't let anybody down if required.</p>

<p>shows how much the collective Fern knows huh...the 2 least favoured options haha</p>
<p> </p>
<p>although I guess most were picking who they'd prefer, not who they thought the selectors would pick.</p> -

<p>Yes, but still expected Elliot (if fit) to be asked, and also Dixon to be picked over Coltman, considering that Dixon was the preferred starter for the Highlanders since Coltman got injured (who couldn't claim back his starting spot when he returned).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To me there is a gap between the top 3 hookers and Elliott, and a HUGE gap between the top 3 and the rest. Glad it's only the Wallabies and only two of Parsons/Coltman will travel if Taylor's concussion is not too bad.</p> -

<p>Is Hika injured, or just a massive dickhead? </p>

<p>Plenty of Super Rugby players weren't playing yet this weekend, not just Hika. Maybe wait and see whether he'll be named for the second game?</p> -

Well, her <em>real</em> name was probably not Shania, but that's who I'm going with.<br><br>

FFS, no ones going to pick up the obvious " that don't impress me much" jibe that can be directed at Nick? -

<p>Fucking Hansen - must have got pissed and lost his phone in the pub on Saturday night, so he couldn't look up who he should pick.

<p>Seems quite hard on Dixon,<strong> given Coltman couldn't get a start for Clan.</strong></p>

<p>We need to put this misconception to bed. He couldn't get a start for the Clan for much of the season because he was injured! </p> -
bro, you know better than throwing facts about all willy nilly!

<p>Just an observation, this thread title was horribly misleading.</p>
<p>I thought we were off on another discussion in the vein of the stripper thread in off topic... and I was getting ready to post a longwinded reply.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have to admit my first thoughts would have been, do I add her to the poll using her real name or her "Hooker" name?</p>
