@chchfanatic is this some kind of wind up?

[booboo]

@chchfanatic that'll wind up the southern North Islanders

[Nepia]

Some of these teams look like who they think the coach will pick rather than "your AB team", I'll pick mine (and pretend they're all uninjured):

I dunno it was @Nepia's no-one-injured team, so I was asking if he thinks that the 3 9s he listed are better than Roigard

It looks like the AB team to me.

You lost me at Havili. If Sotutu misses out he will feel very hard done by

Take both you may need them.

[george33]

@Chris can't see at least 7 of those players being involved

[Frank]

I reckon chchfanatic is on the money.
Razor has strongly plumped for experience (even then I can't stomach Havili ahead of AJ Lam)
Sititi is the only true bolter.

-Name them
-and is it your source or personal opinions about the players?

Forgot about Jordan too, or I remembered his perfrormance in the RWC final.

[george33]

Personal, Bower, Bell, Va'ai, Sititi, Cane, Blackadder, Havilli, and even Narewa would be 50/50 only , And on Sititi way to early, he was out played last night

[Chris]

Ok we will see officially tomorrow.

[Canes4life]

So much for Razor picking the best players.

I agree with a bunch of those. If Sititi played himself into AB contention in Wellington, for now the final should count against him. Sotutu has been strong all season. Cane could help with leadership transition, but our loosies stocks are strong and it feels like an opportunity lost to try out another player who could be a find for the next 4 years.
