We are talking spine players who played rep football (irrespective of positions)
All this talk of rep players and no-one has noticed the depth of rep players in our Round 11 squad.
In fact, of the 7 players from last week against the Raiders who played in the middle, only 1 isn't a current or former rep player and that is Moreoa who is tipped to be a rep player of the future.
T Mannah 2008 NSW
S Matagi 2013-2017 New Zealand & Tonga
N Brown 2016 NSW City
B Scott 2010 - 2014 NSW and Australia
D Alvaro 2017 NSW Country
S Vave 2013-2016 Tonga
We also had a rep player on one edge:
M Ma'u 2015-2016 New Zealand and Tonga
Our spine contained 2 rep players:
K Pritchard 2016 Samoa
C Gutherson 2016 - 2017 NSW City
In the outside backs we had a number of rep players:
M Jennings 2008-2016 Australia, NSW & Tonga
K Auva'a 2016 Samoa
J Hoffman 2012-2013 New Zealand
S Radradra 2016 Australia 2013 Fiji
So four non-rep players only in:
French
Moses
Moroea
Edwards
We should be shoe-ins for Premiers.
