    With a squad of 32 I don't think there will be any true bolters, those not discussed. For the NH tour more likely, or even the trip to SA to give a few the experience of touring even if they don't get to the field

      No bolters for me other than the new guys being discussed in Lakai, Darry, Plummer, Ratima, Proctor, Love and Riccitelli.

        He could be like a good version of David Havilli, covering multiple positions from the bench.

          I like it. In place if one of the midfielders or an outside back?

            I agree AJ could squeeze in as an Ennor like player. A really useful bench option covering 11/12/13/14. Probably the 12 who plays most like Jordie too

              Room for a bolter at hooker.

              Riccitelli is the obvious choice - but, he's pretty small for an international hooker, so I could see them going past him.

              Can't really comment on many of the other options outside the Crusaders - but, I don't think George Bell is ready, so I'll chuck in Brodie McAlister, who didn't play much and his most memorable play was a duff lineout throw - but, he's been decent enough in previous years.

                  Seems to be a fair bit of consensus (or resignation) that the halfbacks will be TJ, Christie and Ratima - but, it probably wouldn't be that surprising if they picked another of the young guys.

                    On the midfield - last time I saw Dave Havili he was wandering off the field with what looked like a torn pectoral muscle and last time I saw Billy Proctor he looked like he had cracked ribs - so there could be a very open space there.

                      Hopefully Billy didn't do any damage and it's just bruising.

                        i normally dont expect true Bolters for a home series, are they not more common for a touring squad that cant replace people so easily?

                          Isn't he off to league? That probably didn't help his chances.

                            Tavayavanawai wouldn't look out of place, and would be a true bolter.

                            Plenty of established talent to get past though

                              Can't see that happening with all the other wing talent running around.

                                100% and if those in front of him were even slightly off their current pace then i think he cold make a push....but theyre not

                                  Another bolter and probably big outside chance is Marcel Renata, but under Vern he's making some serious noise

                                        Etene Nanai-Seturo could sneak in. Sometimes these squads only have a couple of specialist wingers and another that can cover full back. I feel he is a better all round player than Stevenson.
