I like Taufua starting at lock, i thought he was our best forward behind Corey when he was there before his injury, actually made some effective metres too and he is one of our few defenders that dominate tackles consistantly.
Looks like we are going out hard with our most aggressive players around the ruck, with our workhorse defenders (tolar/edwards/hilder) to come on to tighten the ruck when the boys tire later in the first half like they always do. Not a bad move, we need to put points on parra early imo if we are a chance.
Feel a little sorry for Con, wes is such a waste on the bench and with three non impact players in Dan Eddie and Hilder, cons energy and aggression could have been a real asset to compliment them.
Good luck guys....Show some ticker, play well and il be happy.
