      New sub forum started here.
      Create, debate and finalise your all time selection from your province to play.
      Once we get enough entries a draw will be held and a poll based comp started.

      One thread for each team.
      I will make up rules as we go.

        @Crucial I presume with the reference to NPC it is only players since the NPC started in 1976?

          I've been working on that concept ... otherwise Dagg would lose his spot to me, I mean George Nepia.

            You are free to pick from pre-NPC if you want.
            It is up to each team 'owner' to decide and to debate the merits of an old era player over another.

            eg I have gone for an early NPC era front row as despite being probably smaller than todays pros they had the skills and hardness to compete

              The Magpies will look a lot different, basically a mixture of the 1920s and 1960s sides.

                @Nepia But ... how would you know whether players from those early days were better than players of, say, the 90s? I doubt there's footage from those early games, so it's on reputation only? Not sure what the earliest videos are that I've seen ... 🤔

                Edit: unless you're over 100 years old, of course. 👴

                  Yeah, reputation and reading. Although I've seen footage of the 60s team.

                    call the quarters @Crucial four one sided games.

                    Semi finals look about right, the draw will be interesting.

                        You could have had the same match ups as the NPC this week if your draw had gone the other way.

                          I did warn everyone that if I had control I could just make shit up as I went along.

                          I should be in line for an award simply for getting rid of Tasman first round.

                              After postal voting was lost or declared corrupt, yes 😉
