Only issue with Piney's rankings is that Tommy Smith gets dropped into the teens because of likely unavailability but Reid stays #1 - no consistency in his argument. Either rank the players best to worst or likelihood of getting picked.
Reid wants to be involved with the AWs and NZ, Smith doesn't give a toss would be my read
Does he?
He hasn't really, he went on holiday once instead of going to camp with the AWs. I'm thinking there's a bit of a bias because A) Reid sounds like a New Zealander and B) he plays at a higher level.
The main way that Reid has managed his absence better is he's shut up about it as far as I can tell.
