Payne wouldn't make CB over Hall or Pinjanker and he doesn't start RB.
LKH is no where near De Vries at this stage. Picking LBS over Gillion is a massive call. Both are raw, Gillion is more polished but LBS maybe has him on X Factor. Also Gillion is a likely bench player for Auckland, whereas LBS looks a starter for us.
We haven't seen EZE as you say - but May is very good.
Yes coaches want different things, but the quality of player makes a difference and we are not in the same ball park. Aucklands new winger is better than any of our options.

Yeah i think the only 3 players that get in is Josh, Rufer and Ishige atm. But a lot of it is based on last seasons form like Pijnaker could have a bad season and Hughes has a good one and you'd switch the two, likewise with other players. Kosta would be a good example of this, the season he had under Uffie you wouldn't pick him in a best 11 but then the next season under Chiefy he'd be nailed on.
