Better than I thought it would be, although it blew out in the end. A bit of luck in the first half and we go into the sheds a little closer (Lawrence no try, Reed try and Milone being a spastic hurt us).
I thought Ava was great when he came on, loved him putting Blair on his ass, unfortunately he didn't get enough game time. Cherrington also looked the goods. Next week I'd go with this pack (assuming Ava is right to go)
8. Ava
9. Halatau (plays opening 20 at hooker then shifts to the back row like Young did for the Dragons)
10. Woods
11. Sue
12. Lawrence
13. Taupau
14. Cherro
15. Lodge
16. Keithy
17. Sirro (made some good yards when he came on)
Unfortunately the backline is a mess with players out, the drop off from Nofa and Simona to Milone and Hoeter is huge.
