For the AWs I’d make two groups- Wood and Mata, and goal scorers/play makers potential forwards who we expect a bit more with their feet and ability to cover distance. A bit more versatility.
That category I’d have Kosta, McCowatt, Waine, Rogerson, Just, and perhaps even Singh and Garbett. And even Marco, Greive, OVH, Gillion and other less obvious potential selections. (Cacace?)
Kosta and Waine are also 9s, but we expect different things to what we expect from Mata and Wood.
So possibly Waine would lose his place to Kosta and Rogerson more than Mata.
And as for Mata’s misses we haven’t really seen that at Auckland tbh. Remembering the Woodsman’s 30% odd is considered top notch for being clinical. If you’re in position to score the easy ones you’ll occasionally miss some as well. As long as the others keep going in nobody cares.
