What's the point of Big Karl when he's leaving.
And has basically played ffuck all rugby this year.
-
@Bovidae so PGS over him then you'd think.

It looks like it. Obviously the squad was picked before the SFs.
-
Is LF signed as a centre or winger? Surely Bailyn Sullivan or TUJ are more deserving.

WTF has Fainga'anuku and PGS done to deserve selection?

And Havili
-
No DeGroot is he injured?
@Daffy-Jaffy Impact around the field is pretty low. Just not good enough.

Covers too many positions to leave out. Hopefully he's not a starter.
-
This is how the forwards line up:
-
Second five is the biggest issue IMO. I really wanted to see TUJ in there, he's the only one in NZ rugby that continuously gets over the gain line.
-
Karl T probably the biggest surprise for me.
LF was our most dangerous back in the first half of the season but has tapered off a bit.
PGS whilst raw and didn’t play great on the weekend, does have a running game that has been very effective this season.
