Looks like Hoffman got injured in todays Broncos game... 8-10 weeks.

Kiwi injury curse continues. Spewing.

[DIEHARD]

It's now officially Test Footy time, my favourite time of the year!

And as Steelers said, it looks like the Kiwis will field their best ever side.

Im doing a road trip to Newie. I have to with the mega amount of flags and banners I'm taking for the Roo Crew.

[Princey's Titanz]

are we gonna see Kevin Locke playing fullback for NZ instead of Lance Hohaia? Surely Shaun Johnson is gonna be in the squad. Cant wait to see Marshall and Foran in action.

[Steelers]

My New Zealand team:

1. Kevin Locke
2. Manu Vatuvei
3. Steve Matai
4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
5. Jason Nightingale
6. Benji Marshall
7. Shaun Johnson
8. Fui Fui Moi Moi
9. Isaac Luke
10. Adam Blair
11. Alex Glenn
12. Simon Mannering
13. Jeremy Smith

14. Kieran Foran
15. Ben Matulino
16. Sam Rapira
17. Frank Pritchard

It scares me. Notable players not in the team are Lance Hohaia, Sika Manu, Russell Packer, Lewis Brown, Josh Hoffman and Kevin Proctor.

Could consider Junior Sau instead of Alex Glenn. I would put Sau in at centre and shift Alex Glenn to bench instead of Pritchard. Farout JOHNSON AND BENJI!! WAT A COMBINATION! JUST THINK ABT IT! Johnson steppin and dancing his way around the defence and passing it off to Benji the magic man who will do the same thing but better. The opposition never wants to see 2 side stepping, dancing, exciting playmakers in the same team.

I screwed up and put Glenn in twice. Sau didn't have the best season if I recall. Would probably bring in Matai or Lewis Brown.

yea fair enough. I still dont think Pritchard is a good option. Kieran Foran can play centre. He could possibly play centre for a bit and swap with Johnson and put Glenn in at centre.

[Steelers]

Shillington in but no Hannant? WHAT?

[Boofhead]

Shillington in but no Hannant? WHAT?

Bizarre huh?

Seems to be lots of Tigers love as well, wonder why?

Surprised Tuqiri isn't there And how does Tony Williams deserve to be there? Just because his team won the comp doesn't mean a second rate player deserves a token selection. Someone like Mateo deserved a 2nd row spot much much more.

[TITAN PETE]

I thought Mateo should've been there for sure as he's 1 of the reasons the Warriors finished the season so well but there's no way Hannant should've made the squad, his finals series was very average..

[Chaos]

Hannant was struggling to make the Broncos side...if you want a Broncos player start looking at McGuire.
