NZ National team

[gold_on_black]

Anyone wondering what the NZ team is going to look like this year with the emergence of some new talents

with locke keeping hohaia out of fullback for the warriors and the emergence of shaun johnson at 7 will these guys be pushing for inclusion in the squad.

personally i think locke will be the new fullback whilst foran and benji have the halves spots secured.

It is looking like a competitive team.

One thing is for sure, it is going to be awkward for Foran joining camp after smashing his vice captain in the face last Fri.

 

[Wacko_Jacko]

Hoffman and Glenn should be there somewhere

 

[happy_tiger]

Asotasi also must come into calculations too Perrett if fit would be picked instead of Nightingale

1 Kevin Locke
2 Jason Nightingale
3 Simon Mannering
4 Shaun Kenny-Dowell
5 Manu Vatuvei
6 Benji Marshall
7 Kieran Foran
8 Sikau Manu
9 Nathan Fien
10 Fuifui Moimoi
11 Adam Blair (if he is eligible to play after the game verse manly)
12 Frank Pritchard
13 Jeremy Smith
14 Isaac Luke
15 Steve Matai
16 Sam Rapira
17 Alex Glenn
18th man Roy Asotasi…don't know where he is at right now.
+ (out of these players) for squad members: Ben Matulino, Sam Perrett, Ukuma Ta'ai, Frank Paul Nu'uausala, Josh Hoffman, Bronson Harrison, Sam McKendry, Matt Duffie.

I think Broson Harrison and Sam McKendry will miss out. They have been in poor form for a while now.

Mannering doesn't really offer much on attack, but he is an amazing defender and would hopefully shut Greg Inglis down.

Locke or Hoffman? I think it will be very tough on whoever misses out.

If I was kiwi I'd want Hoffman at 1 hes is getting better week by week.

Thats a powerful and skillful side…gonna take some beating for sure.

Quite a few Ozzies will be underdone as well...Gallen, Petro, Ingliss wont have played for a while when the games start.

 

[WestsSupporter]

im a kiwi most people want Locke over here but then again most peopel have no idea who Josh Hoffman is. i know he is a mean player but in current form Kevin Locke is about as good as Billy Slater. btw i said in current form so don't hate on me

 

[tiger_sean]

It's a tough call I'd probably wait and see how Locke and Hoffman go in the finals.
Both players have yet to prove themselves in finals footy.
Which ever player has the better finals series should get the nod.
