@African-Monkey

I agree. He needs game time to develop though.

Next year I’m fine with him starting wing and covering centre (or covering both from the bench because Clarke is back)

@Tim

So the best players to not make it?

Ross Wright, Vula Maimuri, Dean Budd? (ignoring players who barely played for the Blues or briefly passed through Northland)

Probably about right then

@taniwharugby Quote it and then copy and paste the link from the composition box.

Interesting way to say you don't like the selections.

@Tim I even used my mod powers to see the original link And that didn't work.

Maybe a couple of ones you could find to quibble over, but looks pretty good.

[African Monkey]

I'd have Lachie Munro in there instead of Berryman or Holwell. He did far more for the Blues then those 2. Other than that, I can't think of anyone else so yeah, not bad!

[KiwiMurph]

Halfback looks wrong - and no not Bryn Hall either.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Sharky Robinson.

[Bovidae]

What's the criteria for selection? Do you need to play for the Blues and province in the same season?

[Duluth]

Apart from Robinson there's not much to complain about again

Here's all the NH Blues players:

I didnt realise Walter played for the Blues and Frank didnt, thought they were always a combo...

Haha, Ranger never actually played for NH, just took thier money

For the Chiefs.

My question above about selection criteria was related to Lomu who played for the Blues and NH, but not in the same season.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae yeah I didnt recall that Walter played for the BLues, but thought if he did, Bunce would have too...

Who remembers this cheesey TVC from the 1990's ? :)

[Nepia]

@taniwharugby IIRC Bunce had been retired (maybe playing overseas) for a while before Little played for the Blues in maybe 2000?

[Bovidae]

@taniwharugby It was Little's last year playing in 2000, and only 5 games.

Looking at the full list of NH Blues players I think you could make a good case for McFarland at hooker.

[Dice]

The Auckland team has been named. Very close to being the overall All Time Blues XV.

[nzzp]

@Dice almost exactly what I voted for. But Kev instead of Sean? Really?

Delighted to see slammin' sammy at 12 ...
