All Blacks 2024

So on the Breakdown last night Kirwan was pushing for Riccitelli to be selected as one of the hookers. He's the sort of guy that doesn't make many mistakes but I wouldn't have him up there as one of the top three hookers.

@Canes4life two of your horses could pretty easily be surpassed by younger models in the next 3-4 years and the other is a hurricane.
The ‘Hurricane’ is also the best player in the world so you know there’s that.
Dalton could also be taken over by others aswell so that’s a moot point.
Let’s be honest, is Razor really going to pick a Blue as captain? Probably not. Is Dalton really AB captain material? Probably not. Will he select Barrett as his captain? Probably.

Que?
Don't get your logic. Won't pick Ble because not Sader but would pick Cane despite not Sader.
Am hoping he's much more impartial and picks who he thinks is best.

@booboo logic is Crusader coach will likely pick Crusader. Crusader coach more likely to pick HCane over Blue because HCane is best player in the world and has captained ABs before. Crusader unlikely to pick Blue because will be given shit by fellow Crusader peers for picking an inexperienced Blue over more experienced Crusader.
In all seriousness Robertson might have Paps in his leadership team but he won't be captain. The odds would be through the roof if this was the opened up at the TAB.
Unofficial TAB odds:
Scott Barrett $1.80
Ardie Savea $2.00
Codie Taylor $8.00
Dalton Papali'i $60.00 -

Why do you Blues fans seriously think Dalton is going to be captain? I will happily eat my humble pie if he's announced in a couple weeks. I just can't see it.
Scott Barrett has captained under Razor at the Saders and has had plenty of success, he's likely to go with someone he knows well, just like Fozzie did with SCane.
Ardie improved immensely as captain last year compared to the previous year and I recall plenty on here wanting him to keep the job even when Cane came back last year.
Taylor has also had success leading the Saders under Roberston.
But let's pick a Blue that isn't even the captain of his own franchise. Righto.

If this is a thing we're in way more trouble than we've ever been.
Coach that apparently likes to plumb the depths and try everything in his power to get the best out of his team.....is hampered by childish and antiquated fears.

There are reasons for not picking Papalii as AB captain
This is not one of them
If this is anywhere remotely true we are absolutely fucked.
The good news is I can't see Razor operating like that.

tell me about it
i dont even think Paps is the fav.....but im sure hes in the conversation and the "it will never happen" statement like its a fact is strange
i think paps is in the running (other than being a captain at super level so not a crazy progression)...Razor might want a fresh start, statement of intent

No chance means I believe he has no chance of being announced as captain in a few weeks because he's behind three better candidates IMO.
'it will never happen' means Papali'i will never be captain but I never said he will never be. His time might come post the next WC. Who knows.
