2. Ferguson
3. Gutherson
4. M. Jennings
5. G. Jennings
6. Salmon
7. Moses
8. Mannah
9. Mahoney
10. Alvaro.
11. Lane
12. N. Brown
13. Moeroa
14. Paulo
15. Niukore
16. Terepo
17. Ma'u

Sorry Lingard but Mannah and Alvaro starting is just guaranteeing BA loses his job. No variety in their attack and almost no offloads. My pack would be:
8. Paulo
9. KP (would be Mahoney but still in development squad atm)
10. Alvaro
11. Lane
12. Niukore
13. Brown
14. Kaufusi
15. Terepo
16. Moeroa
17. Ma'u

Mennings will play every game he is available. Even at last year's form he is in the top 20 centres in the NRL. He wasn't up to his usual standards but merkins are overstating how bad he was.

He was that good that he left Gennings posted defending against 2-3 attackers in Souths game to let in 4-5 tries. And that wasn't the only time he did that and he was terrible for Tonga as well.

Mannah will be in the team, hopefully on the bench

Mannah is only good enough as a backup these days, reliable yes, but we have better players ahead of him. We need more punch from the forwards and unfortunately he doesn't provide that.

He will be in the 17.

I think that with Paulo now back, he will be the one tasked with providing 'punch'. We don't need it from Mannah as well. Agree that Timmy is on his way out, but he will still play a massive role in the team if fit.

You're blaming a centre for the overlap now? I'm surprised you're not blaming the winger. That's what most of you idiots do.

Mannah was good when he dropped back to bench this year. Like Scott the previous year. He’s 100% still a 1st grader. Plus the only props in front of him will be Alvaro and Paulo. He’s still better than Penishands (close call), Evans, Gower and Kaufusi (although he has time on his side)

He will be in the 17.

Agree but by round 10 he will be looking over his shoulder.

Alvaro,Jnr are infront. Terepo potential to be. If Taka fires or Niakuore it may push Tepai into middle.
Then there is Kafusi,Evans and Stefano. If room needs to be made cause there form is to good it will be at Tims expense.

Also Mannah still works well off the bench because he doesn't need to warm into the game like a few players. He gets on and is into the game straight away.

it'd be great if they all turned into good defenders - so many options

On form Terepo was best Prop in 2018
Also that he is now in peak years and mannah is in decline years if I was a betting man and planning for future I'd lean towards Terepo if had to chose.
If Mannah gets injured and his replacements form is too good I doubt he walks into the side.

Terepo is perhaps our best defensive middle prop.
Niaukore is a great defender and Kafusu seems to be.
Jnr will never be and I have no idea on Stefano.
Some people seem to think your either a good defensive workman like forward or a impact type. There is however elite props or more balanced props who are great defenders and also provide more attack then you average pluggers.
Alvaros game improved due to developing a pass before line and an offload.Makes him less predicatable.

My grammar passed away years ago.

When my grammer passed, wee buried her in her favourite flour dress and it was such a lovely black tye and choux service, knot a dry I in the hows.

Then wee all went out and eight fiche soop, two celebrate her favourite mill.

 

[TheRam]

With unlimited TPAs it doesn’t really matter though, does it?

So you're saying he knew/privy to our rorting? Interesting.

No way did BA know how our TPA's were arranged or managed.
