Mar (GK). Surprised no one else given a run really but has done everything needed.
Boxall (RB). Seems to be where he plays now rather than centrally. For me Fenton has had a poor tournie- good ticket but impotent on attack. Boxall offers more both going forwards at at set pieces. Will make up for lack of height elsewhere.
Themi. (CB). Solid and reads game well. Will not be an option against the SA teams as lacks pace (like Durante). But against OFC opposition a perfect CB for knockout games.
Adams (CB). Done all asked of him. Positionally sound.
Ridenton (LB). Personally was very suprised Doyle didn't start v the Solomans and dissapointed that Colvey has underwhelmed. Ridenton is not a natural but got up and down very well. He'll pick Colvey though...
Hudson- Wihongi (DM). Has real talent. Probably has the best 20-40 metre pass in the team. Crisp and accurate. Did well playing out of position too. He'll play Bill but Hudson is showing the benefit of playing regular minutes for a winning team ( and the confidence that brings) that is well coached.
Wee Mac (CM). Not his natural position but has a good engine and as long as doesn't get dragged out of position is a good option.
Kosta (RM). Looking fit and sharp.
Patterson (AM). Great energy and wants the ball. Can support Wood and feed off flick ons but also link with K and Marco.
Rojas (LM). Only picked because I know he can do better and just really want to see it.
Wood (or Fallon if unfit). Don't need both.
This team was posted a couple of days ago in another thread. Does anyone not think this is a better team than the one Hudson has put out on the park?
