4 or even 5 of Randall, Waine, Garbett, Singh, Old and McCowatt will likely be bench impact players for a fully fit AWs at the World Cup.
They all have vastly more experience than LBS, and Singh plus Waine excepted, have been regular starters for their clubs this season in leagues comparable or superior to the ALM.
LBS needs to contribute a goal or assist every Nix game until season end, to be a WC chance. Basically knock down the selection door like Randall has done.
If he could somehow join the squad in the USA as a wider squad member, would be a great experience for him. Even to have him up in Auckland this window training with AWs would be really good for his continued development.
