    I’m more setting my barometers of evaluating the new coaching panels selections bias and ability.

    That sort of opinion and discussion is what a forum is for.

    I’ve pointed out selections that will show bias (IMO obviously) and another will show, well, let’s just say a path I’m not a fan of.

    Darry could be a quiet contender

    I don't think it's quiet. If Strange gets selected and Darry doesn't, I'll lose pretty much all faith in Razor. I could understand Vaai ahead of him, but not an inexperienced, ineffective numbnuts.

    I can understand an out of form incumbent being chosen over an in form newbie. That example doesn't qualify

    If Vaa'i also had 25 games as an AB I was expecting more heart in a Super Final-maybe he was buried in the tight but I didn't see much fire and leadership...

    Savea, Telea, and Scott Barrett were NZ's best in the the 2023 final, so, if fit, they are the first names in the XV.

    Hoskins is probably the favourite for it

    According to who or whom?

    Super Rugby player of the year, official statement:

    The Rugby Direct Podcast has had a top 3 players of the week system this year, and Sotutu was way out in front. You can safely disregard that though, because the only polls that matter are @Duluth 's Blues MOTM threads. Obviously the clear winner for the season was Dalton Papalii, because he is the best player in NZ by a mile.
