[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 528926, member: 38640"] Well...let's looks at that check list. 1. Kirwan better than Pat Lam? Can't be much worse - but some of his choices like not wanting/now rewanting Anscombe has me nervous. 2. Toeava, Kaino, Woodcock, Wulf all had injury problems last season - which isn't a big issue for them this season as they've lost all those players overseas/to other teams as well as Mathewson and Benson Stanley and now probably Anscombe. They've recruited some good young talent in Mckenzie, Naholo, Hall and to an extent kerr, but they're all very young and probably not quite ready. 3. I tought Mathewson looked much better than Weepu last season (certainly fitter) while their options at 10 are either average as heck (Noakes) or untested (Kerr). Bryn Hall is a very young halfback but he's looked good in the ITM Cup, but I wouldn't expect him to be quite ready yet. If they've lost Anscombe (which I suspect they have) then a good 9-10 combo is very unlikely. [/QUOTE]
