@antipodean I'd rather try Jordie at 12. Massive boot, big frame, ability to pass. Honestly, he'd fill a hole for us.
I know this sounds very Hayman to 8, and it won't happen, but he ticks a lot of the boxes
Na, I’m hoping they’ll see how he goes on the wing. The lack of pace could really surprise a lot of defences.
finally some out of the box thinking, really feel that will fix everything
Speed is overrated. Who needs a guy running quickly ? When someone glides as slow as Jordie it gives defenders far more time to doubt themselves.
@mn5 he's also quite tall, ticks all the boxes

*I wonder how highly they rate DMac at 15/10 cover.
**I'm not sure what is happening with RM/BB at 10 or BB at 15. I'd assume JB is ahead of his bro at 15.Beaudy came out and said he wanted to play 10, so if he holds that line with Foster it will be him and Richie in the 10 and 22 jerseys.
However, if he's still willing to bend to Foster's two playmakers thing, then I don't think your assumption that Jordie is ahead is necessarily correct, because at the last AB waypoint Beauden was at fullback and Jordie on the wing.
I reckon they'll be pretty happy with DMac as their third first five - because from what I've seen this year, next in line is probably Mitch Hunt. Nothing against Mitch, but he's a substantial drop from our top two and I wouldn't want to see him as the number one goal kicker in a tight test.
@chris-b i can see your line of argument but I don't think they will put JB at wing again but they won't start without him so I doubt they'd start BB at 15. Then again I've been wrong before, I mean I wanted a Crusader to coach the ABs, what was I thinking!?

I don't think they'll put him on the wing again either (I'll be heading for the "Fozzie Must Go" bandwagon if he gets played there ahead of Will Jordan). But, I also don't see that he's indispensable - I could readily see a team with Jordie on the bench - or even missing out on that to DMac.

Biggest puzzle is fitting RM, BB, Dmac and JB into the same 23.
Maybe we could ask John Hart what to do?

the harsh reality is, not a single one of those players is so good that they absolutely must be in the 23.
I can only think of 3 players in the whole country to who that applies.

i honestly dont know if BB walks back into the teams. The other have all been playing against/with each other and so we have a good gauge

Did you hear Razor on tv last night? He apparently talking to NZR and reckons if it works he will be staying with Crusaders for another couple of years. Seems maybe he in line for ABs then, if not before?
On the JB thing, I suspect he will be at 15 , Jordan on wing (which is where he is better I think). Could be DMac at 15 but I reckon you'll see them both there at some stage this year , and RMo and BB sharing 10. -

not sure that sounds that great TBH, so he is staying with the 'saders, meaning Fozzie stays at the helm for the ABs?
That said, Fozzie is surely checking into the last chance saloon and has to hit the field running, well, his team need to if he wants to keep his job, surely...I really hope there is nothing signed until at least Aug/Sep.

Not sure I'd like to see that. But just to defend Fozzie, he's been what I expected.

What I'd select
A Smith
Beauden
Clarke
Jordie
ALB
Rieko
JordanMo'unga and DMac on the bench to rip shit up against a tired defense.
Unstoppable.
