Mitre 10 Cup standout players so far ...

[cgrant]

Who have been the best players of the round robin in your opinion ?
Here is a list :

LHP : good ol' Crockett is still fit and makes his presence feel at this level. Karl T not bad either. Ollie Norris had his moments.
Hooker : Dixon, Makalio, Aumua. Hard to tell who is the best.
THP : Lomax, Fidow (no real standouts there)
Locks : Romano, IWL (maybe Parkinson)
Blindside : Papali'i (obvious choice)
Openside : Havili
Nr.8 : Ben-Nicholas
Halfback : Judd, Hall
1st Five : Trask, McClutchie
2nd Five : Laumape, Nankivell (a FAB ?)
Left wing : L. Fainganu'uku (a FAB for sure)
Centre : Tupaea
Right wing : Narawa, Nareki, Jordan
Full back : Havili, Jordan

Surely Koroi has to be in there and chase tiatia they’ve both been playing well and so have Aso and Goosen.

No love for Kirifi? How's the Waikato hooker going?

Sotutu deserves a mention at 8. Shame he got injured

Yep, Kirifi has been the standout no.7.

Taukei'aho has had a solid season, although he still needs to work on his lineout throwing.

Sam Caird deserves a mention at lock, as does Jaycob Matiu at 8, I dont think either player expected to get much time before our season started, a few injuries later, by end, 2 of our best and most consistent.

haven't been watching much of hte naki but you'd expect guys like Naholo to be on this list.. or has he lost interest?

He looks like he is going through the motions

Last week was put in space by a pass and Marcel Renata was the nearest defender. The prop keep pace with him for 20m

[Canes4life]

Would have to throw Goosen and Aso into the mix. They’ve been dynamite for Wellingtonthis year.

Haven't watched many games the magpies haven't played but Ash, evans, Fakatava and Toala have been our best IMO. Chase Tiatia seems be tearing. Laumape is a beast. Hard to say with Ta$man there whole team has been shredding

Has TTT been playing for the naki?

Yes, most of their games. But like many in the Taranaki team has been below par.

[African Monkey]

@Duluth And then getting smashed into touch by little Jordan Trainor not long after that.

[Jailbreak7]

McClutchie also and Fakatava deserve a mention, they've been bloody good.
On Kirifi - reckon he is quality, and depending on how Cane/Paps go, could see him wearing Black in 2020.
Also liked Gregory, and Rayasi

[Chris B.]

Most of the Ta$man team deserve a mention - but, Mitch Hunt and Ethan Blackadder have both been very good.

[Yeetyaah]

From what I had seen, I thought Wainui was alright. It's good to see him at his natural position of 13.
