Looking forward to this 330 NZ on saturday . Love Tuaupiki at FB. If Ford has to be in the team he might as well be at prop. Yeah why is Kosi in the team are there no fast kids who can catch available? All stars games after woohoo League is back summer sports are so boring!

 

[Penrose Warrior]

As long as Kosi doesn't play round 1...surely CNK back to fullback after the Maori game, and Tuaupiki to wing

he really doesn’t have to be in this team

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

I hope we can snare an outside back with Zyons space, surely we can't persis with Kosi.
Even a blind man can see this won't be good for us

Tana Boyd doesn't get a run in either trial? Don't think he was named last week was he? Is he injured?

Honestly, I don't feel like DWZ out for round 1 is as big as Aussie media want to make it out to be. OK, if Kosi plays it might be...but I'd feel OK if Tuaupiki played there, or even MGT.

Unfortunately Webby keeps picking Kosi, so alarm bells are ringing

Aussie media mainly think it’s a big deal because they wanted DWZ finishes in Vegas.

exactly.

give him a haircut and it’s not a story

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I've heard a number of people (online and off) talk about Tuaupiki playing wing while DWZ is out. While I'm not saying it could never happen, I feel like this is overlooking the last 20+ years of what a winger is in the modern game. Tuaupiki is a loooong way away from what anyone is looking for in a winger these days so....expect Kosi I guess.

 

[Big Marn]

Tuaupiki would be a massive upgrade over pea heart Kosi, regardless of whether he is not meeting the ideal winger specifications.
Class takes him a long way.

 

[Rich102]

As does speed and effort.

Do you mean size-wise? Yea he'd be one of the smallest wings in the comp if he played there.

But to be fair he's not too dissimilar to Turuva, who I also thought would struggle due to his lack of size when I first saw him play. But somehow Penrith made it work, and with a backline contingent who weren't that much bigger than him too.

We're no Penrith but for someone of Taine's ability, I think its worth a crack.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

HAS to be a better option than ...you know...

 

[Scott]

Taine has to be in the team somewhere. If he is on the right wing until DWZ is fit again, I'm fine with that.
