[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 515514, member: 24910"] I've got a lot of time for Coltman too - if he can sort out his throwing he has the potential to go a long way (especially with the aging New Zealand hooker population .....that statement just sounded so wrong ;) ). He may struggle to get a starting role for Otago this season though as Horie is a top quality player. I've just read a bit about out new prop Seiula ([URL="http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/sport/7230690/Seiuli-named-in-Otago-squad"]here[/URL]) - I didn't realize he was only 19! He sounds very promising (and he will have a great teacher in Kees Meeuws!), which is great as prop is a bit of area of concern. The lack of quality experienced players for our young players to learn off is a bit of a concern (as you mention), though Horie and Tanaka both have a bit of experience (and the likes of Meeuws and Brown have a lot of experience from a playing perspective). I don't think this team will be good enough to win the Championship this season, but if they keep there young players together with any luck they could be back in the Premiership before too long....
