Thought I would take you through my selection process for the week.
Here is my final team:
Prop O. Tu'ungafasi , K. Inagaki, T. Nyakane
Hooker S. Horie, L. Apisai (concussion)
Lock E. Etzebeth, L. de Jager, C. Neville
Backrower S. Fardy, K. Read, H. Tui, M. Coetzee
Scrum-half T. Perenara, A. Smith
Fly-half R. Mo'unga, A. Cruden
Centre C. Ngatai, T. Kuridrani, T. Walden (Concussion)
Outside back D. McKenzie, N. Nadolo, B. Smith, W. Gelant
Trades I made:Jaco Kriel => K. Read; Reinach => Perenara; T. Lee => Gelant
The following was considered to also get the chop:Lood, Apisai, Walden
How I choose my players: I normally look at the previous 3 games of players' averages, and the next 3 opponents they will face, the byes and the potential for their value to increase.
Highest possible value gainers not in my team or trades:J Holloway (war), T English (Reb), *C. Brink (Lions), *M. Marx (Lions) K Beale (War), E Dixon (Hig), R Ioane (Blu)
Let me know if you have suggestions or observations you want to discuss. Still thinking on my captain - leaning towards Kuridrani or D. McKenzie
