Team List - Trial # 1 - 2025

JC said he expects to be back for round 4.

I think there is something about OK at 13. We have as props AFB, Kaufusi, Toby, Tuku, BHU, Hazo, JC off the top of my head. At lock we have McInnes and in the last 12 months have lost Finucane and Williams. Putting Kaufusi there allows us to be a monster middle and if Cam ever goes down with an injury who else is there to put at 13? Sif? JC? Wilton? They could have put Sif there to see how it goes but it seems they want to use his skill set out wide.

you are probably right, I just read it as they had to fill the team for the trial. Might not be a bad move. He can play big minutes.

Agree. OK has decent passing skills as well being a very effective tackler. It's worth trialling him in that role. I could see Sifa playing 13 with his hands and power but not sure he the motor for big minutes in the middle.
