I've seen a bit more of the ASB Premiership than I'm ever going to tell you about...

You're embarrassing yourself further. Go rewatch that game. Ive seen him a few times in asb. To leave him out of under 20s is nuts. 

Hang on what? How on earth is EG embarrassing himself? By that logic, you are equally embarrassing yourself. Bloody hell.

If you've seen this seasons ASB Premiership you won't have seen much of Biss as he can't even get of the bench most weeks for Team Wellington but should walk into the U20 side?

Thats a huge call. Yes, Biss is a good player but im sure Payne will be playing midfield.

So a player that can't get a run in the 5th placed ASB Premiership side is the best choice for our U20s?

We're fucked.

Would Ryan Thomas formerly from Waikato not get in ahead of Biss assuming he's fit and I'd say Howieson would play more central as this his role at club level.

Also with two good RB options, and with Tuiloma been as versatile as he is (was top scorer at galaxy in their youth squad playing up top) I could see him moving in to the CM role next to Payne.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't he linked up with a youth team for a MLS side. If so, the training day in day out there he's getting is probably of more value to his development than coming back to NZ.

The backline looks quite solid with depth with a couple handy young attacking players.

Raniga was at Waitak the last time I heard, I think you may be thinking of Bill Tuiloma? But I think I heard that he was released from LA Galaxy yoof recently, not 100% on it though.

 I thought the deal was that he had a contract offer at LA that he couldn't sign until he was 18, so he was going off to Europe to see what else was out there for him.

Tuiloma is using LA as a fall back option. Hes in Europe trialing with clubs at the moment
