I like the lineup. Joey Manu must have been pretty banged up to miss the Roosters semi final though. Would he be available? Also not sure if Kris's suspension carries over to international games. Are those exempt?

I am picking he must be related somehow to Joe Warbrick, the captain of the Original NZ Native team that toured Britain and Ireland and gave the northern clubs the idea of changing the rules to a more open running game.
2 minds over SJ. The Warriors part of me wants him just to get over the injury and go into next season refreshed, but tbh i'd love to see him back in a Kiwi's jersey, he's had so many great moments in it and he deserves it too. If he does play then CNK is my fullback for that ready made combo in the spine.

Man do we SJ, Tohu and DWZ not play? I wonder if they put themselves on ice for a chance at a title? These things are never certain. But after this year they must thinking they are close.
I thought Tohu already said he's not playing international. But could be just my old man brain.

Man im amazed at what you base your read of players on sometimes......in contention to pick up Dally M 2nd rower of the year......probably the best line running backrower in the game.....and an already made combo with SJ.
I think he's NRL level not international level.
Cool......based on?

Mistakes he makes, avg 2 miss tackles, runs less than 100m per game. I'm no pro, just giving my 2 cents.
Cool so who are your 2nd rowers?

You need to relax bruh. I'm not a selector, I'm just saying I wouldn't pick him in my team.
You seem to have more knowledge than me regarding kiwis. You can simply say, we only have 4 good backrowers and we kinda have to pick him.
I don't know if any of these guys are injured but riki, tapine, Sorensen, fisher Harris if we got enough props, papalii
Jesus didnt realize asking someone who they'd pick for a Kiwis team in a Kiwis thread discussing all thing Kiwis was over the top.
Its just interesting your reasons for not selecting Nikora over defence and yardage who has a 92.7% tackle efficiency rate and averages 102 metres this year yet Riki makes your team with a 91,7% tackle efficiency and averages only 80 metres. (id gladly have them both btw)
Incidently Nikora also has the most line breaks this year than any other forward in the comp which imo makes him a great asset to have out on an edge......and with the combination he's already struck up with SJ i cant see too many downsides tbh.
However each to their own
