Well it's back to the Warriors and oh god we have the Storm. A few changes need to be made here and now:
1: Brent Webb- I think he's the club's most consistent and committed backliner. There's a lot to like about Webb, apart from his kick returns.
2: Francis Meli- Just getting back from injury, so he is spared the axe. A higer workrate nessecary to keep his spot.
3: L. Anderson- Just outshines his bro in this one, gets more involved and is very solid. Solid is what we need at the moment.
4: Tony Martin- A lot to like about him. He's commited and gives good service to his wingman, providing they are both on the same page.
5: Manu Viteivai (spelling)- Time to give this kid a shot. Why not, gives a greater size to this side of the field to compensate for Martin. Let's see what he can do.
6: Lance Hohaia- Time for a change, something has got to give. We have to change a halfs combination that clearly isn't functioning.
7: Stacey Jones- The side can't go without him, Leuluai may have taken his spot at test level, but he clearly didn't deliver. So why do it at club level.
8: Ifeata Paeleasinna- This forward pack needs rearranging. He's been going well in the BC, so he deserves the call up.
9: Tevita Latu- A part of my rearranged line up, but really Latu and Dezolt would just be rotated as neither are at full fitness.
10: Jerry Seu Seu- More go forward from Jerry would be good, I think he is getting there slowly, still down on fitness.
11: Epalahame Lauaki- A lot of pressure goes on Lauaki now. He needs to keep going the way he is and he should be alright.
12: Sione Faumuina- I think you have to put up with the mistakes with this guy. he plays flamboyant footy, it's high risk. But when it comes off it's worth it. Keep him more focused to one side of the field though.
13: Awen Guttenbiel- He should be fit for this one and in his more natural positon where he can deal with the higher workrate.
Bench:-
Richard Villisanti: More to stagger the current situation that we have at the moment, using Villisanti as an impact player.
Matt Jobson: We have to fix this go forward problem so just add another prop.
Paul Dezolt: A constant rotation with Latu should see a more effective service from dummy half.
Wairangi Koopu: The unrecognised work horse, probably gets lost in all the stats, but he is always up there.
It will be very interesting to see what Mr Anderson does after the Kiwis result. Probably happy he doesn't have to deal with Vagana. Toopi needs to be dropped after that effort tonight, he is clearly struggling.
It just makes you wonder which fringe players are going to come into the side, if any. Surely there needs to be some new blood injected into this limp team.
