[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1030489, member: 74704"] Picking a team is so much mprecthan the players on form. There also needs to be balance. Look at SA in 2019. They had 2 playmakers in the backs, 2 battering rams who could offload and 2 strike runners, and it seems NZ are trying to copy that with 10/15 being the playmakers. The major difference being the way round they have them, SA has the free role at 15, and NZ at 10. For the summer, maybe we should try this. Option A free spirit at 10 9 Care (in form, experience and club link) 10 Smith 11 May 12 Devoto 13 Lawrence 14 Marchant 15 Slade Option B free spirit at 15 10 Simmonds J 15 Malins Other options include a split playmaker 10/13 that was used by most of the great NZ teams. In this case 10 Simmonds J 11 Big Joe 12 Devoto 13 Slade 14 Marchant 15 Steward This would give a squad backs of SH Care, Randall, Robson FH Simmonds J, Smith C Devoto, Lawrence, Slade, Joseph W Marchant, Big Joe, May, Thorley, Nowell FB Malins, Steward [/QUOTE]
