[SilentOne]

Foran and Benji together just simply doesn't work. For me it's either one or the other and with Benji being stripped of the captaincy it's more important for him to play well for Wests or he may find himself watching the WC on TV.

 

[roughyedspud]

how about benji at fullback...and foran & johnson in the halves...thats what id do


when foran is partnering benji is only job is to receive the ball.....then pass it on to benji....its a waste of his talent

 

[Aragorn]

you obviously havent been watching choker Johnson of late......

Injuries will mean a few guys are out, since I've named too many there. Will be one hell of a squad.

I agree especially with Matai pledging allegiance to Samoa. Im thinking RTS will be a bolter for the Anzac test
