Team v Roosters

[Meth]

A delightfully inconvenient result in some ways. I am still not satisfied with the shape of this team, but that win earns some breathing space, right? In saying that, this team can and should be judged on 2 rounds, so their performance is....mixed?

1- Tuivasa Sheck. It's inconvenient, as it pulls him off the wing and we don't have wingers. But he isn't a winger anyway.
2- Berry. As well placed as anyone right now to take this spot.
3- Leiataua
4- Nicoll-Klokstad
5- Tauipiki. Also not a winger, but as I said, we don't have wingers. Any reason why he can't switch sides?
6- Harris-Tavita
7- Metcalf. Still not sold on him in 7, but he played well enough to get another shot.
8- Fisher Harris
9- Egan
10- Barnett
11- Capewell
12- Laban
13- Clark

14- Walker
15- Vaimauga
16- Halasima
17- Niukore- I wasn't as impressed with him as some seemed to have been, but did enough. Put him back in the middle, off the bench.

Pompey and Ford out
Laban and Berry in

I'm so keen to get Healey into the side.

Hopefully Metcalf's nose won't be an issue

The more I see of Tauipiki the more I see him as a half.
The try he scored in the first half, leaving Jazz clutching at fresh air, was so reminiscent of Stacey.
He could ignite that backline.

Yeah, I'm still a bit anxious about him on the wing, but he's some sort of player. Just not sure what kind of player, but a player.

On a side note, I think CNK's body might be done soon.

his body seemed to come alive in the second half, was a bit of husk early in the game.
