But how do you feel about Sarge?

Did you get my selection memo boss?

Sure did, Guvnor.

Very messy selection process today.

Ray K · « **Reply #601 on:** March 24, 2012, 05:47:45 PM »

Picked mine.
If ever there was a day to avoid the main forum I guess it's today

My loyalty remains untarnished.

Just to clarify, the next player you want is the first player in the list of three, correct?

Anywhichwayucan · « **Reply #608 on:** March 24, 2012, 06:06:24 PM »

Wow, that really sounds like a thick question

I'm just being extra cautious

Haha! Yes please. First name is first choice, second name is second choice etc. Think it'll catch on?

Sarge · « **Reply #612 on:** March 24, 2012, 06:28:28 PM »

Number 11 - Wing

Sound exile.

Trumps · « **Reply #615 on:** March 24, 2012, 06:41:12 PM »

Needed a 7, got the best ball winning and support running openside of the professional era (IMHO) in Josh Kronfeld

And I mean that over McCaw, who has a different style. You'd never see an All Black go into a tackle without Kronfeld on the shoulder to rip the ball or take a pass. Nor see a ruck without him bent over it. BEAST

Sarge · « **Reply #616 on:** March 24, 2012, 06:41:54 PM »

Trump your up again.

Bastard. Thought he had slipped under the radar and was waiting to pick him next round, but needed a prop badly.

Anywhichwayucan · « **Reply #618 on:** March 24, 2012, 06:50:39 PM »

Great shout on Kronfeld.

We are back to the top of the queue?

Why is everyone posting players in here? Thought it had to be in the other thread only?

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #621 on:** March 24, 2012, 07:03:12 PM »

I went for Contepomi to play inside centre. Always good to have a second kicking option and he should be able to get the pacy men outside him moving.

Beast of a backline but didn't Howlett play at Wing and Fullback internationally?

Trumps · « **Reply #630 on:** March 24, 2012, 07:43:54 PM »

Number 14 - centre?

Think your backline looks balanced. Better than my rusty-induced shambles. Not a fan of your loose forwards so far

Kronfeld re-wrote the book for Number 7s

Ahead of his time.
