Marshall and Johnson

[AmericanHistoryX]

this should be the new zealand halves with foran into lock. what do you guys think? i just want to see a competitive match.

Foran is too good to not have in the halves. Benji switches between first and second receiver for the Tigers, so throw him in to halfback and Foran at 6.

 

[underdog]

The try Johnson setup to put the warriors out to 18-12 looked almost like a carbon copy of the 2009 try of the year - marshall setting up ayshford in the corner - except without the round the back pass.

the Dummy he put on Cronk in particular was straight out of the B.Marshall Playbook.

 

[pacey]

He probably will be on the bench and they will rotate him with Luke at hooker

 

[WestsSupporter]

i still think 6 and 7 should be Benji and Foran. if Johnsons comes in now maybe it could ruin him

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

nah seriously - if new zealand want to challenge australia then johnson has to be at half. He is being labelled as the next benji marshall. he put the last nail in melbournes coffin.

foran can play centres as well so thats an option but the kiwis will have an awesome squad no matter what

1\. Locke
2\. Nightingale
3\. Matai
4\. Foran
5\. Vatuvei
6\. Marshall
7\. Johnson

8\. Rapira
9\. Luke
10\. Moi Moi
11\. Pritchard
12\. Manu
13\. Blair

14\. Fien
15\. Warea Hargreaves
16\. McKendry
17\. Smith

Rest of Squad

18\. Hohaia
19\. Kenny Dowell/Duffie
20\. Sau/Perrett
21\. Harrison
22\. Matulino
23\. Packer
24\. Mannering

Plus a few bolters i guess can be tossed in

No Asotasi Bazz ??

 

[Bazzinator]

asotasi hasnt played a test since 09 played minimal time this season and the young forwards they have going around are better prospects anyway guys i didnt put there who would be in front include tamou, FPN, masoe, bromwich, proctor they're set for a long time the kiwis and no need to go back to the past

 

[happy_tiger]

Fair enough point Bazz

 

[Goose]

The only thing I disagree with is Mannering , he IMO has to be in the starting squad, at the expense of Pritchard, Id also bring in SKD for Matai.

It is a good looking side

"If New Zealand want to challenge Australia" -

New Zealand are the current World Champions, last years four nations champion and the are in the First grade GF, Under 20's GF and the NSW GF….I think they'll be just fine challenging Australia.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Wouldn't pick both. They're both hot and cold, and if they're both off it could be a disaster. Marshall at 6 with the more consistent Foran at 7, with Johnson either on the bench or not in the side. Might be a bit early for him.
