^^^^No 1 KPI for a THP is anchoring the scrum. Mobility and work rate are great, but won't help much if you can't scrummage. If Glastras was a loosie last year and has only played prop in an uncontested scrum, he simply cannot be picked at #3 or it will be a disaster for the whole team and a danger to him. By all means the selectors should pick him as a 6 or 7 if he's seen as the best option to play there, but not at #3.

Do you guys reckon CAS have much of a chance
did you watch the UFC last night? Bisping a major underdog beats an amazing fighter
When are the teams for North and South announced?
some of the boys were tapped on the shoulder yesterday - i heard one bolter from Knox that was very unexpected
Chip Kick's team has 7 Knox and 2 Waverley.
Can anyone remind me who won the 16As game between those two?
It also has Glastras at prop who AFAIK has never packed into a live scrum, and omits Byron HD who is by the fastest there and can play.
Tiger Murphy is one of the first picked if fit.
Word from around Barker that the following players have been put forward into the North Harbour squad:
Tom Bullen
Harry Flaherty
Luke Reimer
David Tejcek
Jayden Kitchener-Waters
Ben Bryden
Jamie Basheer
