Taupau has been on fire the last month or so

Luke should be the 9 but who knows what Kearney will come up with, might try Bromwich again ....

Leuluai should be in the 6 too I think

True forgot about Taupau.

Taumalolo

K.Nikorima

Absolutely monster them up the guts with that pack & Luke, allowing Johnson to play the game against opponents on the back foot for as many minutes as possible.

[Shaun Hewitt]

Kata would be a decent shout if eligible.

Other than that, I have no idea who'd partner SKD in the centres. Alex Glenn? Nikorima?

 

[Burns]

How are you guys feeling about the 4N? Confident? That pack is immense. Any chance of RTS being fit?

 

[Penrose_11]

I wouldn't go with anyone who hasn't played about 3-4 games to finish the season. I wouldn't pick RTS, Kahu or anyone else with injury concerns.

I wouldn't go with anyone out of position either. No Harris at standoff and no Lolohea at fullback. We have the depth across the board, so let's use it.

 

[vinnie delpino]

Is Nathan Cleary eligible in any way for NZ?

 

[Big Marn]

Is Nathan Cleary eligible in any way for NZ?

sure. If he likes L&P i think theres a clause somewhere that makes him eligible for the Kiwis

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Nathan Cleary surely went to school here or did he stay in oz?

If he did school here I wonder if he played union or league..

Hes the best 18 year old half Ive seen in awhile. I'd be chasing him if I was NZRFL, I reckon hes worth it.

 

[jaseg]

Cleary has lived about half his life so far in NZ. Yes, he's eligible.

If he wants to play for us, that would be great - parachute him straight into the halves alongside Johnson.

I'm not counting on him wanting to play for us though, with all the "future Origin" wraps on him at the moment. And I'd be surprised if he identified as Kiwi.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Scratch Shaun Johnson
Hes week to week with the Warriors.
Doubt he will tour

 

[Penrose_11]

He was interviewed on radio here before the played us at Mt Smart. Pretty much said he's lived in NZ since he was 3-4 yrs old till bout 14yrs. He went on to say there's no chance of him playing for NZ as he's an Aussie and NSW through and through. He played Aus U20's this year as well.

Hopefully Foran sorts himself out and gets the help and quality advice he needs so he's good to go for NZ from next year on.

Ok thanks for that. So thats Cleary out the window.

 

[vvvrulz]

On another note, imagine if we pouched both father and son at the Warriors, would solve our two biggest problems!

 

[Rich102]

I can see Cleary now the rain has gone,
Gone are the obstacles in my way..

Beale, Josh Hoffman, Winterstein possibly.

Pending eligibility Hurrell, Taane Milne, Fusitua, Simona
