I really don’t know if any of the Highlanders young guys would even be considered to even be at the level yet. Millar possibly just for a look? I wouldn’t think so though.

@Chris-B not sure if Devlin can be trusted in any way, his contact is himself most likely

I could live with that if he/she was actually right more times than just the odds of flipping a coin.

@Frank No some big names may crumble
Can you be even more vague?
It's possible that some notable contenders might not perform as expected.
It's possible that some well-regarded participants might face unexpected challenges.

In the short term, the Crusaders’ Quentin Strange could be the man who gets the nod.
I should have referenced the article but this is coming from the Press I think so obviously someone like Strange is in the picture from a Cantebury lense. I'd have someone like Darry or Walker-Leawere before Strange.

The article was written by Paul Cully, and is in all Stuff newspapers.

Rumour I did here yesterday is that Papalil may play 6 ,with Ardie at 7, with Hoskins 8 only rumours tho just putting it out there ,
playing two out of three players out of position? Sounds crazy
is ardie out of position? isn't he playing 7 in japan? (could be wrong), and obviously has that history at 7

An absolute clown on twitter who calls himself a ‘journalist’. Journalist is a very loose term these days it seems.

He's a journo that covers league and rugby. He's not bad but his lack of knowledge can be annoying (I.e. not knowing the HIA protocol etc). He tends to troll on twitter and made a series of tongue in cheek team previews to start the season that some fans got upset about.

Blackadder shouldn't even be considered until he proves he can play a couple of months of rugby without being injured. There's so many good loosies around.
If Cane is selected off of a back injury it's even more risky to include Blackadder

It's another good bias test really, he's never done anything in Black that demands his selection on the back of being injured most of the season, and career wise he's been so injury prone it's not even funny. If he makes it, it is purely because of how close he is to Razor, no chance a player from another franchise would be selected on the same criteria (e.g. potential at test level despite long term injuries).

Any fern Blackadder circle jerkers should have this post tattooed on them for reference every time they want to shout his name from the rooftops

Goes without saying. Never going to please everyone. Don’t think there’s ever been an AB’s team named where people don’t complain….
