    I've never been a fan of Rieko at centre but he was rock bloody solid during the RWC and that combo with Jordie is looking better for each test. I just hope he continues to improve his passing game, which is still pretty average Actually passing the ball isn't the same as being a good passer or distributor. What I like is that he's been very good on defence and is a genuine threat whenever he touches the ball. IMHO that makes up for his deficiencies.

    Cane has unfortunately proven to be a liability. Maybe he can be an impact reserve but not as starting captain. I would add that to my very amateur eye, he stands way too upright when tackling and cards will be inevitable.

      Under Razor I would not rule out Akira being selected if he has a big super season.

        So we're sorted.

        Finau, Ioane, Blackadder, Papalii, Cane, Savea. Grace and Harmon bubbling under.

          I reckon add Simon Parker as a Squad bolter with a big SR season.

            Akira should have left the Blues already

              If he continues to improve, Proctor might be considered for the midfield, too. Never thought I'd say that.
              And Flanders for no. 8/6.

                Jordie, Rieko, Proctor, ALB, McLeod.

                So midfield sorted too, nice one.

                      He will be another guy to add to the competition for places. That is a good thing. Based on Reputation, Razor will leave no stone unturned before picking his first side next season

                            @ACT-Crusader McLeod provides great utility off the bench too. I'd even be tempted to have him on the left wing.

                            Will Jordan can't even handle wing and people want him at fullback. He's a flash in the pan, flat track bully with not a lot of real rugby skill. Has he grown as a player in the last 4 years?

                              Yeah I can't wait until he's at fullback getting the ball twice as much, in pressure situations. It'll really bring out the best in his poor decision making and vision.

                                I could see cane as a straight up 6 but not as a 7 for Razor, he has always had a fetcher in his teams.

                                  He'd have to do a Frizell and get selected from being a bench player. I can see Parker take over the PGS role at the Chiefs but wouldn't expect him to start regularly.

                                          @ACT-Crusader McLeod provides great utility off the bench too. I'd even be tempted to have him on the left wing.

                                          Will Jordan can't even handle wing and people want him at fullback. He's a flash in the pan, flat track bully with not a lot of real rugby skill. Has he grown as a player in the last 4 years?

                                          It’s hard to grow even more awesome

                                          Yeah I can't wait until he's at fullback getting the ball twice as much, in pressure situations. It'll really bring out the best in his poor decision making and vision.

                                          @Bones Do you not watch Crusaders games. The guy is an elite fullback.
                                          I’ll put it here , I think the crusaders will be average next year. Never been a fan of Penny. Might be my hatred of all things Burnside
