IMO, pretty happy with the backline [Thank F**k green isn't there,

I would have the following forward pack

8- Creagh
9. Rein
10. Cooper
11. Frizzell
12. Thompson
13. Merrin

14.Pumipi
15.Matthews
16.Hunt
17.De Belin

You had the opportunity to PUNT Hunt and you left him in the 17??????? Get rid of him and bring in Alaomai. Not sure about Pumipi so we'll have to see how he goes, he is good in NSW Cup without being a superstar. Your starting pack is as good as what we've got and really could match Souths if they come to play and we get the ruck right, complete sets and don't get F##ked over by the refs as usual

Its not necessarily who is selected..its a matter of whether the coach can motivate them to put their bodies on the line...we all hope he can fire them up

It's better. Can't stand Hunt but at least there are some positives. I expect Marshall to play a lot better this weak. Hopefully Widdop gets a bit of confidence back. But it comes down to the forwards really. Souths are a bit one-dimensional. Unfortunately for us that one dimension is exactly where we are weak. Can we actually pressure them enough up front to make them look elsewhere?

10. Dan Hunt
11. Leeson Ah Mau
12. Joel Thompson
13. Trent Merrin

yes, the website has it as "mitch hooker"

Creagh to prop, matautia to centre

Why Dan Hunt is starting i will never know.

Another player we can put crap on.

To be honest I like the team named:

1. Josh Dugan
2. Brett Morris
3. Peter Mata?utia - Like this choice better than Green/Thompson
4. Gerard Beale
5. Jason Nightingale
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Benji Marshall
8. Ben Creagh - Like this idea
9. Mitch Rein
10. Dan Hunt
11. Leeson Ah Mau
12. Joel Thompson - Back in the forwards thankfully
13. Trent Merrin
14. Tyson Frizell - back in the 2nd row hopefully
15. Jack de Belin
16. Mike Cooper
18. Shane Pumipi - Rein needs backup don't know much about the guy but has to be an improvement than no-one.

Hope the final 17 looks like this.

With one exception

Runciman, easy. Needs to get used to first grade.

Quinlan would be useless on the wing, doesnt have the defensive ability of an outside back, would be targetted under the high ball, cant really use support play, which is his best asset
