Wish i could be a selector - 1. Nightingale 2. Duffie 3. SKD 4. Matai 5. Inu 6. Bunji 7. Foran 8. Rapira 9. Fien 10. MoiMoi 11. Mannering 12. Harrison 13. Smith 14. Luke 15. FPN 16. Matulino 17. Brown So much win
Proctor is crap tbh. None of the blokes you named in either post would really add much to the team except maybe Pritchard. The big disgrace is Brown missing out.
Can definitely agree now i've seen he's 18th man tbh. In saying that, it shouldn't be a surprise. Kearney picked Sika Manu without playing any FG last season. He has his men who he wants playing (Eastwood and co), despite being quite average
At full fitness, Eastwood should almost definitely be in the NZ team IMO. He's so far short of that at the moment though; he's just going to be a liability.
Manu played alright in the black jersey last season I thought. Made some good runs very destructive player who is at home in the jersey.
Matulino,Eastwood and Blair would give us so much versatility with our interchanges if all fully fit.
Yeah, I thought for sure Eastwood would end up as the 18th man just because his fitness levels at the moment are horrible. Can't believe he's actually going to play Friday, he's struggled big time in the two games he's played for the Dogs this year.
Everyone's saying how Matulino and co shouldn't be there etc. Brown should be at second row ahead of Harrison. Actually Mannering should be there with matai at centre.
I'd probably pick Glenn ahead of Harrison and Matai. Not that I'd pick Glenn over other players who were left out though.
