Pick Your Team Potential Kiwis Team 2023

[SBW1]

Reece Walsh's mother is from Hastings she is Maori, while his father is Aboriginal and Samoan. Feel that this year Toa have poached a bit from our stock.

Paul Roache could be an option?

Certainly.

I'd take any of them over placing somone who can't pass like Jazz at 9, or subjecting poor old Foz to the rigours of middle defence again.

Paul Roache could be an option?

We could see a Nate/Paul Roache combo for NZ A. If either make the Kiwis we're officially in a dummy half crisis though

 

[Playdaball]

Surely there are better players around than the Roache Bros?

 

[Teets]

Better players sure.

Better hookers, debatable.

If Cheese, JMK, Crossland, Kodi all out as reported the options are thin.

It'll probably end up someone like Te Maire.

It makes me wonder whether DWZ has had a fallout with NZRL or Madge.
I , m disappointed.

Inside word from whanau. His Tongan Nan's wish is for him to jam for them.

Nanny come on being Maori/Tongan and playing for the Kiwi team is cool too.

Brown , holy cow

 

[sballer7]

Still be a solid starting 17. Depth is weak as hell though

 

[SBW1]

Have not heard of a number of these players, only one Wah.

Fa'amanu Brown wasn't even a regular at the Bulldogs or Knights & makes the Kiwis. Shows how dire the situation is at dummy half

Hard when 4 main stay hooking options not available.

 

[Levonsnow😝]

Only 3 second row options?

I have a feeling they're gonna have Nelson play 2nd row.

 

[Dippa]

There are a few Broncos who are worth looking at Jesee Arthurs, Dean Mariner.

Arthurs has earned selection for Samoa?

Wiremu Egan not available either?

 

[SBW1]

We might get a surprise, we have an impressive pack. Foran is a seasoned campaigner for the Kiwis, this could be his last stint in the jersey.

 

[Cces]

Wonder who the 3rd choice Winger would be? CNK to shift there if injury struck? Nabbing Kini's eligibility is great (assuming he gets a Test) but Remis Smith has more versatility

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Oof..

The Kiwis A team will be interesting, I don't think it will be as much better than the Tonga A team as I would have thought, considering a bunch of them are in the main team lol

Bit disappointing that we only have one player in there after arguably our best season, but I think we will get good representation in the A team, if for nothing else but the fact that some AU players might not be bothered interrupting their holiday to go to NZ for a week. The GOAT, Pompey, Taine, Bunty, Ale, Ali are probably good chances.

 

[Teets]

Gee I completely forgot about Brown and Levi as Kiwi options.

Ah well, go hard lads.
