Best Youngster in the New Zealand team?

Long time lurker, first time poster. Recently moved so getting active on the forum too.

Was having a debate the other week with some friends; besides Ryan Thomas, who do you think is the best youngster in the NZ team?

Between Tuiloma and Rufer for me. But if we think about performances, Tuiloma should edge it. Rufer is pretty inexperienced.

Thoughts?

Tuiloma miles ahead of Rufer. In my opinion, Bill should be started, and Alex shouldn't be in the squad.

Lewis has performed far better than Rufer for NZ as well.

I am just going to leave this here.

All jokes aside, I do rate Tuiloma but I don't think he has shown what he can do just yet.

Elijah Just

Just was largely AWOL today.

Michael Woud

And I counter with this

Oh it'll happen...it'll happen. It's just a case of when! Probably sooner rather than later if we don't make it to the WC, but let's hope that we do!

Keegan Smith ... oh hang on

t y l e r

but apart from him, between Lewis and Tuiloma for me (if Hudson ever realises that he actually needs to play Tuiloma for him to have an effect)

Bill Tuiloma, Clayton Lewis and Keegan Smith

Sorry guys if this was an unncessary thread. But you just helped me settle a debate, sort of, or intensify it!

Luka Prelevic

it's a good thread, ignore the grump ^

i vote for lewis

What's he up to these days? I thought he was OK when I saw play for one of the AW junior teams (can't remember which one)..

It was a gag from me. Wasn't his fault how he got in to the team (Smeltz injury) and why Anfony played him so much. 

He might be good int he future but he didn't set the world on fire in the Islands. It was the fact that hudson played Prelevic over other players that was baffling (no news there... Hudson is baffling at times).

Prelevic playing still for Pascoe Vale. 20 Games, 2 Goals in last Vic NPL season.
