Round 1 v Sharks

[BossleyPanther]

Martin to belt "Big Game Nicho" a few times and that will be the end of it.

He would be too busy partying at Vegas

No way Laurie plays wing.

 

[Fangs]

Depends who went on the plane but Garner at centre is an option.

Likely Ramien and Iro to play centre for the Sharks. Hiroti and Talaki the other potentials.

 

[Iamback]

Both McLeans went. No reason both don't play if To'o's out

 

[betcats]

Jesse will be in my if biz out

Henry is out too with a shoulder problem.
Geyer, Patea and Garner all in Vegas ready to go

 

[Sime_11]

Garner - i knew i left someone out sorry

Garner to Centre and Casey to wing 100%

Laurie over Schneider for the 14 jersey? no chance we take Laurie and Schneider together on the bench if Henry is not 100%

eisenhuth makes the squad 100% - Patea only plays if there is further injuries - Ivan likes his safe options so Patea to big a risk in his eyes

Happy Papali'i is having to start from the bench

 

[Sime_11]

footy is back - bring it on

sucks about Bizza and Henry, but we do have enough firepower to beat the Sharks.

 

[age.s]

f**king hamstrings.

 

[Chins]

Garner in the centres is an old school Ivan move and that's not a good thing.

Not sure if Laurie gets on the field. Strange 17 picked

 

[Fangs]

Doubt that team runs out.

Talagi coming off shoulder surgery, no trial and a perceived turnstile. If he is to play then better to name him late to avoid the Sharks planning their traffic around him.

 

[Girds89]

Much rather have seen the two mclean boys on the wing.

Soro and eiso on the bench as prop cover and paps starting 2nd row with garner of the bench.

A whole off season to work out how to use laurie. Lets see what ivans come up with

Garner has earned a starting spot in the backrow. Papali'i should have to earn it off him imo.

Very interesting to see if Laurie has any impact. It didn't work at all last year

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Laurie is an insurance premium we can afford to pay because we work so hard on our fitness…

Agree but only if Garner isn't starting at centre, he's the backline cover.

Also Laurie has huge ability against tiring forwards. Can also play 1 to 7 in the backline, and make a reasonable fist of it if injury or foul play strikes,

That is my issue with the makeup of the side. Assuming Ivan will use Laurie as a lock that is
