Are we really that short of locks that he is starting for the Blues?
It’s a specific situation. The Blues lost 3 locks in the off season (including the 2 most experienced)
Selecting an experienced, off contract, lock was importantI think he’ll drift out of the 23 during the season. When he is in the 23 he needs to start so he plays until he runs out of puff

@kruse Yea there is Wendy's in Chch, and he's been that fat for about 6 years now lol.
Yeah, I find it weird people are commenting on Romano's fatness, he's clearly been hitting the pasta and pizza for years now. Put him in a Blue jersey and everyone notices.
He’s been fat for ages. Basically since he first made the ABs

Mitch Hunt might be a smokey to make the squad this year.

any chance we can find someone who can kick the ball more than 25 metres?
LF seems an absolute certainty doesn't he? If the ABs are wedded to a gameplan of beating defense with individual brilliance, we better start picking guys who are actually dynamic. Can't think of many more than him at the moment.
The back 3 is ridiculous at the moment. How do we fit all of Jordie, Jordan, Reiko, Reece, Clarke, and LF all in? No wonder we are desperate to make one in to a 13.

Should have been in the ABs last year.
Mitch Hunt? No chance.

I may not be giving Foster enough credit. Perhaps he moonlights as a magician, because there’s all those players and he magically finds room for Ennor and Bridge. Slight of hand, illusion or the old disappearing player act. Encore encore.

....huge maybe in 2020 or 2021...after some injuries maybe...but not on current form surely
-
If Hunt is in Black this year we are in trouble.
-
My Hunt suggestion was more an insurance policy for next year’s World Cup should we have a 2011 scenario again.
-
@act-crusader Ive said before, if we had a 2011 situation again i think someone like hunt could step up and not loose it for us, he can play safe...but i dont think we're strong enough at 10 to start blooding these kinds of guys just in case...we didn't do it when we had people like DC and Cruden, lets not start now

BB, Clarke, RTS, LF, Reece, JB with Jordan and Reiko on the bench

ya know what, pick 4 or 5 forwards who just love to smash really hard in to things and i would take that. Not sure we would lose any more than we are now, but at least we will be fun to watch.

Yes we did, Slade was brought into the squad in 2010. And there was also Donald who had been in the squad when there were other options ahead of him.
-
@act-crusader i think there was the honest opinion Slade could be a good option at 10, not just a super backup kind of deal, and even if he was, we had very solid options at 10 so had the luxury of being able to experiment...im not sure we have that luxury currently

They tried Delany and a returning McAlister on the 2009 EOYT too.
Still I don't think either Slade or Cruden were considered "blooded" when the RWC came around. They had been capped, but Slade looked like a total deer in the headlights against Canada in that final pool game.

Reiko still my 13. Can't see Havili getting back to 12, so ALB.
Personally I've got 15 Barrett, 11. Clarke, 14 Jordan, and ... oh fuck ... I've got no midfield cover with Reece at 23 ...
