I can't imagine it happening as the team performed well vs. The Broncos but ...

Can they fit Louie Anderson into the starting XIII ??

Tony Martin should be fit for the Cowboys. But the spotlight is surely on Toopi. He rushes the line and more often than not, misses his man. I probably would not drop him, but he has to pull his head in.

Unfortunately, League is a 13 a side game. If it was a 14 a side game, Anderson would get starting jumper. I would like to see Latu get a bit more game time, what did he get??? all of 5 mins???? I suppose he is just a victim of the Warriors' new found fitness.

Great stuff from the guys, awesome work!!!

I forgot about Villasanti. Out of Faumuina, Anderson & Latu, one of these guys will have to go unfortunately. Unless someone is injured, of course.

I'd leave Villa out personally. We don't need four props in the team with Price playing the full 80, and Beatrice and Louis give us more versatility with bvall in hand than an extra prop. We're getting plenty of go-forward already so an extra prop doesn't really help us, I'd rather have more pace, defensive workrate and ball-playing ability.

I thought Sione played pretty well

same, he was like a dog with 2 dicks

latu looked good in the short time he was there, same with feka.

i reckon leave the team as it was on saturday.

Sione can cover most of the backline, which was obviously needed against the broncos. It would be nice to see Latu get more time but out of Fein, Jones and Ropati who are you going to bench when he's on? Don't change a winning team would be my thoughts.

Definitely leave Latu in there. The thing with the Cowboys is that they have a good, strong forward pack. But it's their little men that will hurt you. So the more mobile our pack is, the better.

Thurston has been a bit rusty for them but has still managed to pull something off. He might start to get his game right against us, he's one to watch. Carl "where's my barber" Webb needs to be stopped. He also needs a haircut, a proper one. :lol:

Webb was in blockbusting form. That try he scored would have to go down as one of the great prop tries. He will take some stopping. Ruben - he's yours.

Travis Norton and chris Sheppard are both in doubt for the Cowboys this week. Good quality players so that mite help us. Norton is a good ball player

If the Cowboys are missing Norton, they could be in a spot of bother. He takes on a leadership and organisational role on the field. Another guy to look out for is obviously Rauhihi, he's always up for a big one against us, damn it.

Great to see Wiki (358m) & Price (338m) are 1st & 2nd respectively in "most metres gained" for the comp. Closest forward is Jason Cayless (5th) on 282m. I know stats are just stats and we are only 2 games in, but great to see none the less.

Also great to see Jones on the top pointscorers (& top goal kickers) list, where he rightfully should be. :clap:

I'd look at starting Paleaaesina and having more faith in him. He can go longer than he's been given credit for.

If Norton is out, the Cowboys have a more than formidable replacement in Luke O'Donnell ;)
