Round 1 v Tigers

[Meth]

ok, still a long way off...and the pre-season carnival and trials to get through...but what is our 17 looking like.

I'll have a go;

1- Tuivasa Sheck
2- Fusitua
3- Lolohea
4- Hurrell
5- Vatuvei
6- Robson
7- Johnson
8- Lillyman
9- Luke
10- Matulino
11- Hoffman
12- Thompson
13- Mannering

Res- Lisone, Vete, Henry, Faitala-Marriner

I am pretty sure Leuluai will be first choice 6

Most difficult selection for mine is right wing and the last spot on the bench- particularly Faitala-Marriner v Sao

 

[Iafeta]

Well, that'd be easy. Raymond's not allowed to play with a bucket so for turnovers sake alone, Ligi get's the spot. Other than being a rank average defender as well, it'd be RFM all the way.

We have some serious depth now...

 

[Meth]

I guess the other question is, if Henry is on the bench, what role does the 4th sub play?

 

[ozbash]

limited interchanges this year, isnt it ?

Like that team - I think TL is more use on the bench than Robson or Henry - and surely Robson is more use at 6?

Will be interesting though - good thing is the pack and the spine bar the 6 jumper is sorted injury permitting

forgot about that.

still...Matulino, Thompson, Mannering, Luke, Hoffman. They can all play big minutes.

Yeah. Apparently Robson came to the club understanding Leuluai was ahead of him for the 6 jersey

 

[Izz]

Big chance TL will get himself injured...

 

[lafai]

It's the Tigers lol

 

[Rich102]

I think Kata will take one center spot and I wouldn't be too surprised if Wright is named on the wing.
Other than that I hope Robson has the 7.

We also have an option in our favour for 2017.
Depends how he goes this year under the mentoring of Robson.
Hope he kills it in the Vulcans and pushes into first grade.

ok thanks, I missed that.

I don't rate him though.

 

[Izz]

Lino reminds me a bit of Isaac John.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Are we still waiting on Watmough and Foran? Probably should factor that into your squads...
