Nice team Ryno! I was going to choose Maguire as well. Need to rethink my coach.

 

[warriors55]

There's not a lot of good Kiwi coaching options is there!

Its tough for me to choose either Bluey or Kearney as a coach, even knowing the success they had with the Kiwis.

As an outsider looking in for mine i like the look of Wizard Rage's backline and Defence's forward pack (altho who Wizard picks as his last prop could sway me).

Great work tho all you guys there's great names in all those sides.

[warriors55]

Some poor bastard is going to have to choose Kidwell or Kearney as coach 😆

 

[Weno]

Shuffled again on my final pick.

Put JFH back into the 13 jersey and moved Eastwood into 12 where he started his career at the Broncos.

So went up front again,had one of the quickest play the balls no matter how many came in on him.

Biggest legs I ever seen,but had knees like mine always on ice.

1- Dave Watson
2 - Richie Barnett
3- Jarrod McCracken
4- Clinton Toopi
5- Krisnan Inu
6- Frano Botica (G.K)
7- Clayton Friend (C)
8- Brent Stuart
9- Brandon Smith
10- Terry Hermanson
11- Tony Puletua
12- Greg Eastwood
13- James Fisher Harris

Coach - Graham Lowe

Glad to see Dave Watson in your team Weno (and not just because the missus is the same ngati mutunga whanau). He was old school mongrel!! For too brief a time him and McCracken as the kiwi centre pairing had oppositions shitting themselves!

Thanks brother.
Thought about reuniting that pairing and putting Toopi to the back.
But Toopi in his prime was sublime at center.

Thought you might have wanted Lomax to go with Todd so I took him first 😣
