@Snowy it's all good, sure be some GCs on here, I mean if I was walking down the road and @mariner4life was on fire, I'd piss on him to help a brother out!

I think Collins has retired.

I was yelling it from the stands after about 5 minutes.

It took him another 35 minutes to listen to you unfortunately.

No. For those minutes he was thinking, ‘I wish that noisy prick would STF up!’.

Cane
Savea

Frizzel
Sotutu
Papali'i/Boshier

If it's six loosies that's what I would go for (assuming Dalton over Boshier)

The first 4 would be in the 23 for the big matches
Sotutu would get less game time but is worth getting into the AB system
The 6th loosie is an all rounder mostly as injury cover

MMT, Boshier, Robinson all worthy of a spot. I expect plenty of tantrums on the forum about who misses out.

Foster won't pick that though..

Wotcha reckon? Boshier a definite and a lifeline for Fifita?

[Duluth]

@Bones

No idea what Foster wants. Maybe he's really keen on a 6/lock option and Robinson makes it despite missing so many games? Maybe he dislikes Akira's facial expressions or hates Fortnite?

If it's a 50/50 call between Papali'i and Boshier I doubt the deciding vote goes to Papali'i

[Bones]

@Duluth wuss.

Ok you talked me into it. My prediction for Fosters squad:

Cane
Savea
Sotutu
Frizzel
Robinson
Boshier

The only journo I have seen selecting Boshier in an AB squad was a Cantab no less (Knowler). But that was in place of Cane!

Boshier might make the NI squad but would be no certainty to start in that game either. IMO he is on the outside looking in for AB selection too.

The wildcard amongst the selectors is Plumtree, and he will have as much say as Foster on the forward selections. As long as Plumtree picks locks that are taller than our props and loose forwards.

[Machpants]

Boshier is like Pocock, a one trick pony (in that he's still great but what stands him out is turn-overs), and his trick is not so good with new 'interpretations'. I really hope he's not in when we see other players much better around the field and still out turn-overing him. Sotuto, until his injury, for ex. I really don;t rate - ABs wise. Great player but not one of our top 7 loosies

Second First Five

Waaaaait a miiinute....

He was excellent for the canes throughout the noughties.

Don't disagree. But his play for the AB's was on another level entirely, particularly in his later career.

[Frank]

I just watched a YouTube highlight reel of Peter Umaga-Jensen and have decided he should start for the ABs at 13.

[Bones]

@Frank oh sure, so we're just pretending man bun isn't a consideration when selecting ABs now?
