You think Hodges won't be picked? Hinchcliffe is in contention for the bench utility spot so I'd have him over DCE coz he's a better utility. Still dominated by QLD'ers though...

NZ team looks pretty spot on except for Vatuvei.

I just went with my preferred teams.

Jennings is the form centre in the comp imo and Hodges is extremely overrated nowadays. No doubt Hodges will be picked though. I wasn't too sure on the bench utility, so I just picked DCE. Hinchcliffe probably covers more positions, but I reckon DCE could fill in at most positions and still do a good job. Couldn't decide on Locke/Vatuvei, but went with Locke because Vatuvei has been awful this year. I do think he'll get back to his best soon though.

Aidos team looks spot on to me, except Hodges will definitely get picked, the guy is still one of the best centres in the game, always a threat

And who cares about the NZ team, they'll be getting flogged yet again ;) I can only hope SKD, Moimoi and Vatuvei play to guarantee Australia win by even more
 
Sika Manu being injured is a bit of a blow for the Kiwis. I've always thought he's performed well for them whenever he got an opportunity.

Can't stand the grub though lol.

Corked shoulder? He's playing this week though.

Matai should be in there too.

I don't see a spot for Foran unless he takes Fien's bench spot.

Will Foran even be fit though is the question. He has been ruled out this week which is his last week to impress. If he is fit, he should definitely be utility instead of Fien. I don't think NZ would get much out of him at centre.

Nah, he's gonna be a step down from Kenny-Dowall and Matai in the centres.
