Interesting that a few people have named Mellars in their teams for 2026. I would have thought he was very much a development project ? Even with all of Souths injuries this year he was still not able to break into their team.

I think you will find it is the anyone but DWZ selection.

Heard from a coach on streaming saying the right centre is a key position in defense because that's the attackers' better passing side...makes you think if Pompey should be on the right since he's durable and experienced to provide stability, and he seems to be a leftie so does the sweep passes pretty well for the winger

Dunno why I thought Tauapiki was 21.
Except for Pompey over Roger and CHT at 6 I like that team. I don’t mind CHT at 6 I just think it’ll be Jye Linnane a halves pairing of Lynnane and Metcalf could be unreal

That's probably the goal for '27 and how they build towards that in '26? CHT to take TMM's current "utility spot" and Metcalf x Linnane, Berry/Ali, AKP/Kali, Mellars 1st drop winger, Pompey 1st drop centre and Kali 2nd drop centre
Would be nice if Roger is still on fire and keeps 1 wing, then Kali can take a centre spot.
We still need a freaking fullback!
