All Blacks World Cup bolters

Good call on Zarn Sullivan, able to cover multiple positions. More than capable of filling an All Black spot this year.

Zarn really seems to know how to manipulate a team around the park with his boot too.

As in the opposition D. He pins them back really well.

Future Allblack 10 from the current crop for me.

@Steve Think I would rather Clarke signed to go overseas than Big Lester.

I don't think Clarke will ever hit the heights his physique and junior career promised.

He needs to be a bully. He seems to be too nice.

Dallas Macleod named MOTM surely on current form he must be in with a chance.

I would take Proctor before picking McLeod. Proctor is starting to play some useful footy.

Nankivell, Poihipi, TUJ, and probably about 2-3 more ahead of McLeod at least eh.

This aged well.

Not really bolters, but there is starting to be a silly amount of loosies in contention that are ramping right up at the pointy end of the competition.

Luke Jacobson and Billy Harmon on this week's performances.

Mark Telea was an absolute freak tonight.

[cgrant]

Bryce Heem. He's a perfect utility back.

Yes and for a big 34 year old he seems to have a decent turn of pace.

[Magpie_in_aus]

Is John Afoa a bolter?

[SBW1]

@Magpie_in_aus Probably too early to tell. What happened to Luke Romano he could easily make a comeback, he was great last year for the Blues.

[SouthernMann]

Is Billy Harmon a bolter?

Can’t see how he fits without injury to Cane or Paps.
I get that he is performing at a high quality level but there’s only so many spots in the squad.

[Kirwan]

@Bones He covers 12,13,wing and we've played him at fullback. Is extremely consistent, hardly every has a bad game and makes everyone around look better.

Would be a great player to have in a size restricted squad.

Put that way he would be a replacement for Havili.

An injury chance.

Covers 12 better than other midfiled/wing options. Should be ahead of Ennor in the rankings

I'd agrre wth that but would also not want Ennor anywhere near the squad

[Kirwan]

@Duluth I admit, that's who I had in mind more than DH who is also emergency 10 cover. For a centre/wing Heem is significantly better than Ennor, and covers two additional spots.
