Given all the "outs" it is a fairly solid squad with a decent pack of forwards. For me hooker and center are a problem plus who partners Hughes in the halfs. Will be very interesting how Jones forms the lineup and what game plan he decides on.
@@WahsUpTV Yeah Jones was right up with all the great players however to date I don't have a lot of faith in his coaching abilities but hopefully he proves me wrong and has a good run with the Kiwis. He has a hard act following Madge of that there is no doubt.
@@jackohere1878 It'd have to be Nikorima in the halves with Hughes wouldn't it? Unless he's under an injury cloud?? Yeah, the centres quality may have dropped a notch, but far out, when are we gonna be able to finally field a hooker specialist ffs!
Didn't realize Scott Sorensen is one of us cool! A lot of senior hands so looking good, your field list looks about right imo, pump the 👍 button team support the channel 👍...
Yeah, it's a decent squad considering all the quality outs we have this time, but Aussie still reads better on paper and is also able to have their 4th or 5th choice in a position player be a big name and still bring top quality lol. BUT, if we have similar belief and confidence to our last game, we can achieve anything. 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Don’t like to rain on the parade but with all the players out and Stacey coaching I think this year it could get ugly for us. Stacey was an amazing player but so far he’s not had much success with coaching, but fingers crossed and hopefully I’m completely wrong.🤞🏼
I think there are a few in here that haven't had a very good season. CNK, Papalii, Riki and Niakore. Hope after having a bit of a rest they turn up when it's time.
@@mikeholling8830 Stacey has a lot to prove being a first time rep coach. So let’s see if he can get this team going after 2 matches. International footy is about getting a team to peak in a short amount of time. Hopefully he can do that.
The team is not as strong as last year, so it will be a huge challenge for us to defend our title. Also, Australia is filthy with last year's loss, so they are out for vengeance. I believe we have only beaten Australia back to back once in 2015 I think.
Timoko did play left centre for us last year bro, Joey was on the right. Charnze most likely in the centres I think. Super solid side for the outs we have
Classic flashback to days gone by. They suspended NAS. Back in the day they always use to suspend a couple of our players before tests against Australia😂 Hopefully Kini gets a start with CNK in the centres and I think Sorenson deserves one.
Nice haircut and mo trim
Thank you! 😃
Go the kiwis

Yeah I think he’s Kurt’s nephew I believe.

@@Jazz_Tamatea yeah bang on there Jazz.
Thumbs up the stream
🙏
Honestly excited for the debutants, especially Kini & Warbrick
I think Warbrick will get a go. Not sure on Kini but hes worth a shot.

Still a solid squad!
Yeah it is. Its got a nice balance of young players as well who can do a job I believe.
Will miss manu, nikora and mulitalo. Some big names off
Yeah it’s sad they are top quality players. Ashame we also haven’t seen JMK yet as well but great opportunity for some young ones.

Yeah it’s a big challenge to beat them twice. If we could do it it would be a good reflection of our growth as a rugby league nation.
Timoko did play left centre for us last year bro, Joey was on the right. Charnze most likely in the centres I think. Super solid side for the outs we have
Yeah I just remembered he was left. I think he probably stays left I would imagine.
We could name a whole nother team just as good as this one with the amount of players that are injuried 😂
no moses leota?
Booked in for shoulder surgery?
Yeah i believe he is injured from what reports are saying.
I was wondering this as well 🙏 Sucks to see 🤦🏻♂️
Yes our team can 😝💯💪go the Kiwi's
Always gotta believe.

@@tonybjjlife68 yeah that was always the case back in the day. Especially around the anazac test specifically. Would be nice to see Kini get a shot.
Welp, one last hurrah for SJ now that Hughes is injured
Peta Hiku playing in the superleague GF this weekend? Hope Hull KR win it but Warriors are looking really good
Yeah should be a good final. I’ve heard peters been playing well.

Crossland was injured last year otherwise he would hsve played
