    bit of a change around, i thought MMT had been firing quite well

    Collins might have been my preferred 13 once paea got injured but im nervous for his first start of the year against a good blues team

    and i'll say it every week..sio? another card last week and still starts, whats TUJ got to do to get a run?

    and no Alaimalo, will have t have a look around to see if he has an injury

    is it me or does Hugh Renton look like hes in his earl 40's, 24?!

    Damn, Hawkes Bay really is a number 8 factory these days. Imagine how cluttered the Magpies would be if Renton was still around.

      Blues forwards should be too strong up front. Heart says the Clan of course but head says a clear victory for the Blues. If it goes all helter skelter though....who knows... I will be wearing my Speights T-shirt but I will be drinking something better.

        Mr.Coventry didn’t play Brodie Retallick in the Development squad for the Chiefs.Remember how that turned out.

              Dont worry that ain't Ruru at 9, one half of Milli Vanilli is making a comeback. (I nearly said Terence Trent D'arby but that would reveal my maturity)..

                    Tolai was probably better than Eklund in the NPC last year, so good to see him given a chance at starting.

                      agreed, i would like to see these two

                      actually 12-15 is pretty good

                      #11 is quite decent. He was a stud for Southland.

                      Makene was quite good for Hawke's Bay too.

                          @kiwiwomble It seems the Highlanders don't know what to do at fullback this season, so maybe he gets a shot there at some point.

                                    Good to see he looks more solid than he did in the NPC.

                                    Coventry seems to rate him highly and he's being correct about most things. Hopefully he goes well

                                      The other tweak involves Jonathan Ruru's promotion to replace Sam Nock at halfback. With Finlay Christie, the Blues best halfback, nearing a return from a calf injury, both nines are on notice.

                                        @tim woulda thought all 9s are on notice, aside from Leon seemingly favouring Christie, I dont think any of them have claimed the 9 jersey yet.

                                          Wheeler is such a gronk. Embarrassing.
