    Some added info on the Steelers squad.

    We really need decent locks. Have been weak there forever. Will be watching the new ones closely.
    Good depth in the front and back rows.

    Hope the plan isn't for Leger to be the first pick 10 but it probably is. Would prefer to see a Taumateine/Roigard 9/10 combo.
    A Tele’a/ Tikoirotuma midfield could be interesting but we have lost some back three speed. At least ENS will be available post olympics although a lack of wing options (unless Tikoirotuma still has some speed and we can have a Leger/Tele'a midfield)

    My dream team (with changes for non-availability in brackets)

    1. Kepu (Lindenmuth)
    2. Togiatama
    3. Laulala (Tuiloma)
    4. Tatafu
    5. Rarasea
    6. Slade
    7. Papalii (Motunga)
    8. Sotutu (Taulauni)
    9. Taumateine (likely Roigard)
    10. Roigard (likely Leger)
    11. Tikoirotuma
    12. Leger
    13. Tele'a
    14. Malimali
    15. Nanai-Seturo

    Jason Robertson is a big loss for you guys, but at least they didn't select Kerr again.

    Do you know where he has gone? I thought he was very good last year.

      Would be a pity. He’s not far off Super squad quality IMO.
      He’s better than Leger anyway so would have been good enough for the Canes.

          Fantastic!!! Great to have him back. Hopefully up for Chiefs too?

          I don't know his contract situation with the NTT Com Shining Arcs in Japan.

          @bovidae I was talking recently with a player who had recently left Japan who suggested things hadn't worked out for him at NTT....so he may well be available for selection.

            @oleoleole Gatland and Trask are contracted so that would depend on whether Reihana is re-signed.

                Yes, but he could still be retained by the Chiefs.

                      I like Reihana as a 1st 5 so would be happy if the Chiefs kept him. He is only 21. If DMac is going to Japan there would be room for Smith as well to add some experience.

                        this is weird and disappointing

                        Faddes who as almost always played 15 or 13 on the wing...Vahaakolo who has only plays 14 for us at 13 and tomkinson who has only started looking good since moving to the wing back to 12

                        Pretty much full strength, and Koroi back

                              @tim A shame that he's stuck in the Canterbury environment. His game would improve massively if he moved up north fulltime.

                                    commentary is rough as an warning, some loose bants if you happy for a casual approach
