funny that, LU has Cheyse Blair in centres instead of Esi

 

[goosie]

nice team!! but very beatable. Up the mighty panthers!!!

 

[spartan2153]

looks like that my be our starting team in round if tonga is out

 

[Eels Dude]

I wonder if that's what Kearney thinks that's what he'll go with for round 1. I'd have thought he'd have named more than 18 players though if spots are still up for grabs in certain positions. Would have liked Blair to get another run.

gee i might be just me but i really dont like our N0. 3 option, i hope he is just keeping the seat warm...

Wish we had an international quality center coming back from injury! That would make me much less worried about that no 3 bloke.

i got an email from the club with a bit of a different team

3.Blair
4.Morgan

 

[Jake the snake]

Parramatta email says that Blair and Morgan are in the 3/4's.

Looks liek tautai and Sio will get spots in the round one team-

 

[FUIFUI_MOIMOI]

That email is incorrect. They sent another one out with the revised list - confirms tonga in the centres.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Looks liek tautai and Sio will get spots in the round one team-

Yes it does!

Also looks like Allgood might be starting ahead of Fui?

And is Lasalo injured or gone? Seems to be B Smith in the 12 with Horo at lock.



Personally I'm unconvinced by Hindy and Smith being on the field at the same time? We just lose so much in the wide running department with Smith out there. I think he needs to refine his game to focus on being a (gasp) central back rower.

Would prefer to see Blair in the centres ahead of Morgan to see what he can do, our centers don't look to strong, thankfully we have Willie to come back and take one of those positions.

I think that's what Maitua fits in but he's injured. Lasalo doesn't seem any better wide runner than Smith, and Smith is a better defender especially out wide. Be interested to see how Kearney uses the backrow this year it could be all over the shop.

 

[Parra Pride]

I'd also prefer starting Paulo ahead of Horo.

No shack.

 

[Parra Pride]

No shack.

Honestly wouldn't have noticed that without you pointing it out.

 

[hindy111]

shack matua still may come in-well reni will
Shack i think may struggle-any news how he has been going?

What injury does he have? Didn't he play last week?

Lacking that touch of class (Maitua & Tonga)!
