    Following the conversation about them in another thread, I thought I'd start up a thread about them here. There seems to be a perception that they wouldn't have the playing numbers to actually represent but after just a quick look at the New Zealand available players, this isn't the case.

    Basically, as of next season, I really think we should be going by CricSim eligibility for these rep games. Not only do these limbo players deserve to represent something that actually means to them, but having all these ring-ins really detracts from Origin IMO, particularly when one of them is captain (no offence Roaddogg, you cheered as hard as anyone for NSW on here but I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from).

    A New Zealand squad, after about 10 minutes of research, would look something like this:

    1. Davis
    2. Bots
    3. Yates
    4. Harding
    5. Torres
    6. Dorn
    7. Jennings
    8. Weaver
    9. Izett
    10. Humble
    11. D Taylor
    12. Olsen
    13. Morgan

    14. Chung
    15. Denton
    16. Monkeywrench
    17. Astele

    18. Darts
    19. Kirikiri
    20. Lozzana
    21. Ritchie
    22. Witters
    22. Scoble

    Bold = top 100 post rank

    That forward pack is actually gun, based on RLSim postcount anyway (which will be more relevant next season than anything that's gone before) and the backline has some really active blokes in it who will get better as things go along too.. plus obv Bots and Dorn who are already quality players. It's not a great team, not yet anyway, but I actually think it's better than the team they field in CricSim... and although that CricSim team isn't in the PC (yet), they play against GB and Vic regularly and don't have their players all eligible for other provinces.

    I'll see if I can do the same for Vic and GB. I actually think it could really encourage some of the Brits who are so active in Seasonal Rugby to join up and get more interested if there's a GB spot at stake.

    Good work Cribb. I had a feeling NZ could do it. It also means we get rid of Izett. Just you and me, Cribby boy.

    Anything that frees up a bit of space in the QLD selection room, and improves my chances of making the team is a positive IMO.

    I always seem to chose a position/role where New Zealand are actually decent at.

    HAHA! Can't believe I have the halfback spot and I don't even have a club!

    Damo and Gazza are two of the best young props in the comp. Damo can play 2nd row as you've played him also.

    On the Gb issue. I've got a few in the clones squad who could form th e basis of a side.

    Slog Graham, Logan, Verigotta, and Swimmerdoog all seem to be showing some interest, I know a few other clubs have some GB fellas also.

    GB's a lot harder - they have 20 odd players too but lots of them are backs.

    1. Ames
    2. Logan
    3. Graham
    4. Luffman
    5. Fittaman
    6. Whicker
    7. S Laing
    8. Blunder
    9. Hornby
    10. Nova
    11. C Laing
    12. Verigotta - not in the top 100 post ranks but only joined a few days ago and has 41 posts without playing, so he'll get there
    13. Short

    14. McGrath
    15. Clough
    16. Johns
    17. Deane

    18. Morris
    19. McDougal
    20. Sweetman

    I reckon they'd lose to NZ, but it'd be close as it's a competitive team. I reckon you could get a few more to sign up if there was a GB jersey on the line too. Farny for example actually has 15 posts in this subbie but hasn't registered..

    Cyclones RLFC pioneering the integration of players from GB, just like it's cricket counterpart.

    Yeah definitely give it the thumbs up obv. The last time I checked the numbers for both sides was before the season started so I probably should have checked again since. I knew NZ had quite a few, didn't realise GB had so many and Eds was keen to put together a combined side so that was probably going to happen anyway. But yeah as you said they are lacking in the forward department which can be made up with some more of those brits.

    Someone to 'do the right thing' and sign me up IMO.

    Would sign you but I have absolutely no requirement for a half.

    I don't understand how you only have 35 posts here, you are always in threads looking for a team. I guess there's not a lot else to post about when you're not playing. :p

    I think I brought up the possibility of signing you a while back in the Donkeys forum.. I don't think anyone had any objections, it just wasn't likely we'd play you unless you upped your activity heaps so we kind of meh'd it and moved on.
