Where's the Norwegian lad they signed, and Ben Deeley? 

Wonder if it's a managerial fudge up or the team just isn't up to scratch

Wingate looks good but has only started twice going off injured at half time in both & made a brief appearance off the bench against Auckland. Where is Ben Deeley ? Hard to believe he can’t make the squad. They seem to favour Spain who is clearly and repeatedly showing he is an athlete but not a defender. Maybe better suited to a wingback role but that would mean a formation change, something the coach seems unwilling to do ......just like the up and under down the right wing to start every single match. 

No doubt injuries are hampering the squad. Cox would add huge solidity to the midfield or central defence. Neil, Wade, Anderson, Kiore, .....no shortage of lads capable and worthy but coach prefers his S&C coach over them. Hard to see true local development when decisions like that are being made.
