@KiwiMurph I also see Damien Faiane in the Samoan team. He's TJ's brother.

Definitely Nonu at 12.

I'd have Jane at 15 and NMS at 14.

@Machpants They got the pack almost spot on, but the backline needs a bit of work.

Mathewson over Pulu at halfback. His first season or so was easily the best play we got from a halfback in the last decade.

I'd probably go with Wulf on the right wing over Halai, even though he did play quite a bit of left wing. Rarely ever had a bad game for us and was always an automatic starter.

Toeava was probably our best 15, 13 and 12, but didn't even get in the team.

@KiwiMurph That confirms Parsons as an automatic starter again this season.

@Bovidae Not sure if they're any cheaper to be honest.

Just looking at the ESPN mock draft and they have Ball going 1st and RJ Hampton going 5th. I haven't watched every Breakers game, so I'm wondering if Hampton is worth a 5th pick?

It's kind of hard for teams to assess him because he's playing in a pro league rather than college like most of the other guys going into the draft. In college he'd surely put up better numbers. The one thing I do notice with RJ is that he plays within the system and isn't just jacking up shots or being ball dominant to improve his stats.

@Bovidae The Breakers go all out with promotion and game experience, it's probably why they still get good crowds despite the poor results.

The shorts and socks look good though...

Seeing Beaudie in a Blues uniform makes me feel a little better about the jerseys. It's too bad we have to win our title(s) in this jersey though.

@taniwharugby was that a jersey or a t-shirt?

We use to have a jersey with those maroon stripes on the shoulders. No cambridge blue on it though.

@Stargazer Clermont really make the most of his versatility in a game. Even though he's got 13 on his back, he still pops into 1st and 2nd receiver during games.

Clermont's my Top 14 team and they've been playing Moala and Ice in the midfield this season with Fofana out injured. They've gone pretty well together, although I'd rather see them switch positions. I can't remember them ever playing together for Auckland or the Blues?
