OK you Southern men. Who is in your XV?
-
giving some thought to this...just on wiki and none of our records (most tries etc) has been set since 2001...so other than Bender there might not be to many recent players
-
-
Kees Meeuws
-
Dave Latta - beats Coltman and Oliver because he could throw a lineout
-
Carl Hayman
-
Jackson Hempo
-
James Ryan
-
Randell
-
Kronfield
-
Jamie Joseph
-
Byron Kelleher
-
Tony Brown/ Ioane
-
Paul Cooke
-
John Leslie
-
Tamati Ellison
-
Goldie
-
Bender
in the mix: Hoeft, nick evans, Faddes, dickson...lots of other names...im not going to argue too much about any selections, there are loads of bloke of similar skill to pick from with a few world class
-
-
Taine Randell > Evans
-
Tom Donnelly/Simon Maling > Hemopo
-
@Duluth id be happy with that, big randell fan, Dunedin RFC old boy, remember him coming back to the club rooms for a beer when playing at higher levels
partially slipped my mind, partially my personal lean towards underated dudes
@Gunner was a hard choice for me, i just love Hemopo. once again, we've been blessed with a few really good locks, annoyed i straight up forgot Maling, i was working off a list on wiki...historically maling was one of the first on the list for me
-
I'd have Marc Ellis ahead of Ellison too
-
Damn, some weird recency bias in this thread - Evans over Randell, Hunt bracketed with Kronfeld?????
No John Timu? -
@Nepia i just didn't know where to play timu without being out of position, goldie and bender are/were world class and Cooke is our record try scorer both total and in a season, well underated
hunt probably just on my mind...might edit to avoid too much shit

Timu over Cooke I'd say (there's a reason Timu was an AB) but they're both from Hawkes Bay anyway so I'm happy with either.
-
Pene at no.8 with Randell at 6.
-
Here's the start of my Otago team:
- Anderson-Heather
- Maling
- Randell (c)
- Kronfeld
- Evans
- Forster/Lee
- Cooke
- Timu
- Cooper
-
@Nepia timu and cooper over bender and goldie? interesting
-
@Nepia There must be a few other Otago players who drove through Hawkes.

As good as they are they don't quite meet my selection criteria.

You might have missed the joke. Same but different joke that @ACT-Crusader rolls out all the time

TBH, I've been at parties where lots of them have turned up, but I am sticking to players from the Bay, this isn't Tasman we're talking about.

i should declare my bias, Paul Cooke and John leslie coached one of my high school teams, thay flatted together and had the whole team over for fish and chips etc, that was pretty cool for a 13 year old
-
@Smudge goldie as reserve hooker?...big call
-

His reserves are awesome, I'm looking forward to see the other 14 starting with Smith.
-

A squad of 37 seems to be cheating too.
-
@Nepia i think he's saying bender does the first 60 min on his own
-
@Kiwiwomble said in Ultimate NPC: - Otago:

He's good enough. Would beat the Chiefs anyway.
-
I'm suspecting there's something strange going on with the display because this is what I see in my post. Will check on the laptop when I get home tonight.

I fixed your post
It's a silly software thing. When you add a number with a . after it it forces a numbered list and counts upwards
-
@Smudge Worked that time. I think Duluth said something about putting a "." after numbers that screwed it up?
-
Beat me to it.

I think they're all jealous of my brilliant side anyway.

Fatigue shouldn't have been an issue with 37 of them.
-
@Snowy except bender...actually, i take that back, he'd be fine
-
@Kiwiwomble On his own.
-
so, with an eye to a team for the comp @Crucial is putting together, any positions beyond debate? hayman at 3?
-
@Snowy we'd probably be leading
-
@Kiwiwomble said in Ultimate NPC: - Otago:

Hayman is an 8, but you probably don't know that story.

@NateHill74 I'd probably push Randall to 6 and put Maka at 8.

Did Culhane ever play for Otago? Edit: I just checked Wiki and he had 6 games for them in 1999.
