How many Broncos in the Anzac test teams?

[Alec]

Why would Matai no longer be eligible?

Vatuvei would do for them what Vidot does for us, and although I agree he can be rocks, on song he can be diamonds.

I think he selected Samoa or something last year, and hence wasn't in the NZ side. Dunno if it still applies.

17- James Tamou (more impact than Woods)

James Tamou or impact. You can only pick one.

Nah, that goes for Woods. From the bench, the Easter Islands bloke does offer impact...

The only impact Tamou makes is when he hits the ground after being easily tackled.

 

[Alec]

Tamou has definitely been declining a bit. Not as much as Fifita seemed to though, in such a short amount of time.

Im not sure if Hoffman will make the test team...

It would be pretty funny though if Kearney picks him to be 5/8. Wont happen though.

uh oh ...

HE HAS played just seven games in the No. 6 jersey and rarely passes the ball, but Josh Hoffman is set to become a Test five-eighth.Although it is by default.
Hoffman is set to follow the footsteps of Olsen Filipaina, Benji Marshall and Kieran Foran.
The Kiwi five-eighth cupboard is bare, with incumbent No. 6 and arguably their best player Foran out for a month with a knee injury.

After seven games in the No. 6 jumper, Brisbane?s Josh Hoffman is set to become a Test five-eighth | News.com.au

 

[Porthoz]

OMG... ROFL

 

[Foordy]

Australia by 50.

 

[Kimlo]

Wow

 

[Alec]

We can only hope he completely falls apart so more people can bag him and really force Griffindor's hand.
Really though, SBW would be a far better option.

 

[Super Freak]

And that would just add on to his already inflated ego..

Bloody hell, Kiwi selectors are stupid. Australia will be laughing, especially Thurston and Cronk.

They would be better off with Hohaia at 5/8..

 

[Rhys van Beurden]

Who is going to be there hooker though? Luke is out, apparently Loolooeye is too. I presume RTS or Locke from NSW Cup (hehe) to fullback, Hoffman to five-eighth, Johnson to halfback... Hohaia to hooker? That spine is abysmal!

 

[Kimlo]

SBW would make a great 5/8 if they're desperate, it's not like they're short on backrowers to cover

Is Aaron Heremaia injured and still playing? They could bring him back from the UK and get him to play at hooker. Elijah Taylor can also play hooker.

Wow, Australia are gonna tear it up.

 

[Foordy]

It looks like SBW wont even be playing apparently he will be boycotting the game... Nothing has changed with this guy, it is still all about him, what an unprofessional act.

SUPERSTAR forward Sonny Bill Williams is to boycott the Kangaroos-Kiwis Test match on Friday week in a major blow to ticket sales.The Sydney Roosters second-rower is still furious at being implicated in a sleeping pill and energy drink scandal on last year’s World Cup tour in England.
The Kiwi champion will be out of the country on a short overseas holiday from this Saturday, a day before the Kiwi team is named and players go into camp.

It was reported in New Zealand after the tour that SBW and his room-mate, Manly five-eighth Kieran Foran, had been identified in an internal investigation.

They were later cleared of any wrong doing following the probe by the NZRL.
The fact their names were splashed across the front pages of sports section in New Zealand and Australia infuriated the pair.


Unnamed players had appeared “dozy and half asleep” but both SBW and Foran have strongly denied any knowledge of the substance use.
SBW prides himself on his natural fitness and incredible physique.
His withdrawal is a huge blow for the NRL’s Test promotion which has already seen tickets heavily discounted because of sluggish sales.
