The Silver Fern

I think I remember Auckland having some arrangement with Blackheath - sending over young players for experience but think it just fizzled out and Blackheath were relegated or bankrupt

Good post. That sort of sums up most of the potentially promising options - he has the size and tools but not the consistency.

That seems true for the other guys in the conversation with size - basically Finau and Parker seem to be in the same boat.

Then there are guys with consistency but they have physical limitations and we’ll continue with our imbalance.

I’d be happy with the selectors choosing two guys who have the tools and then just giving them 20 tests to see what they can get to.
