    As biased as the selectors

    There's gaps in MMT's game. A good prospect but needs to work on not drifting out of games and keeping up the effort on defence

    Haha. Here we go again.
    Fox - New Plymouth / AKl
    Plumtree - Hawera / Welly
    Foster - Putararu / Waikato

    Who exactly are they biased for or against? Against the south I suppose? If they don't pick your favourites (from your biased point of view) are they the biased ones?

    On the other hand they might be looking to find the best players so that their team wins? (ABs not North / South). Who would have thought that!
    They might also want to see some guys play again and know what they get from others?

    I really don't understand why any selector would deliberately undermine their own team.

      my main takeaway from the squad naming is

      our depth isn't great. There are a lot of guys in those two groups who won't ever realistically be pushing for Test level.

              I don't know why I thought it was important to add that.

                @Duluth We discussed it a while back that you thought all selections had an element of bias and that none of it was objective for any team I disagreed, but never mind.

                        South should fuck Ennor off to the bench and start Tomkinson at 12, Goodhue to his rightful place.

                                      Fox has been impressed by Ioane’s work at 13 for the Blues in SRA

                                      “He a big, strong man, very quick, and he’s tidied his running lines up the last few weeks, got a little bit squarer, and more abrasive into the contact area. He’s got a great set of hands, he’s able to set guys free outside him, and defensively he’s sound enough, though he’s still got a little bit of work to do there.
