    @akan004 Reiko hasn't been helped by being in Blues training environment and the lax fitness standards at that franchise.

    @akan004 Rieko is not a 50/50 call. He’s still a lock for the 11 jersey.

    @Gunner Yes that's just being silly, especially with the way George Bridge defends.

    @sparky Surely Ennor deserves a whole Test match to prove himself. He seems to have it all and is arguably the fastest of the lot. The biggest letdown is Reiko Ioane tbh, he's gone from being the best winger in the world last year to a player who is a 50/50 selection now. At least Ben Smith's excuse is that he's getting old, Reiko can't even use that.

    Shag said he started Super with a hiss and a roar (and he did) - has just eased somewhat. He's rusty, they're mostly rusty as a team, and frankly I still think we'll put in a stron gshowing at the world cup. It may well not be enough, but RWC are bloody hard to win.

    I think I'd prefer to see a fit and well coached Pat T starting, with ScoBar off the bench ... but ultimately the Cartel will know who's showing form in training and who can do the job for them.

    WTF! Reiko had one poor game. ONE! We are going to have no players left if we are dropping everyone for one off poor games.

    He's been poor since April. To be fair to him however, I think he has been overworked by the Blues, just like his brother.

    The next cull from the AB squad is Wed (39 to 34), and you would expect that both Tuipulotu and Hemopo will likely get a reprieve now.

    Not advocating dropping him, but that’s hardly the first poor game he’s played this season

    His second half of the blues season wasn’t great

    I'd seriously be considering getting Rieko to work with Tai Lavea at Auckland to help get his mojo back. Lavea had the Auckland backs humming last year.

    @Duluth I actually agree, not a great tweet, but the message is concerning

    His thumbs were over worked?? He was playing games so therefore he didn’t train? He was up late so it’s impossible he slept late too?

    He had his worst Test but this tweet is really silly.
