Probably what I’d go with too. Morgan Harper is also an option as is Setu Tu on the wing.

I'd be considering..

1- Tuaupiki
2- Pompey
3- Berry
4- Capewell
5- RTS
6- CHT
7- Boyd
8- Fisher Harris
9- Egan
10- Afoa
11- Halasima
12- Laban
13- Clark

14- TMM
15- Vaimauga
16- Ford
17- Healey / Niukore


Although I've been advocating for TMM to take the 7 jersey, CHT has been doing enough to hold the 6 and TMM has actually been a really good 14 playing the role Walker used to for us. If we're going to be serious about Boyd, it's now or never, and we know he can play.

Niukore seems like an absolute passenger to me.

Yeah, has to be Tanah to 7, right?

I know this won't happen, but I'd be tempted to play Tanah 7, TMM 6 - the same combo that was destroying at Cup earlier in the season. That'd be pretty harsh on CHT though.

CHT would be 14? It could happen I think, if Webster thinks that’s the best combination?

They need to debut a winger from the lower grades against the Tigers. Cant be Kosi, cant be MGT. Reggies is 15/16 wins this season. Give someone a crack against a nonserious team and get them some first grade experience.

He’ll continue with Kosi I reckon
i dont think so. did you see Websters reaction on the sideline when kosi dropped that pass for the try? Hes not NRL standard and its time to roll the dice on someone else. It couldnt be any worse and it may be alot better.

Just that he keeps going back to him… I hope not but also not many options

Kosi can bugger of to Super League right now as far as I'm concerned, although whether any SL club would take him is another matter.

I am actually excited this could be one of the best teams of the year and maybe one of the best games and heading into the pointy end of the season with momentum
I know Webster is very stubborn with sticking to what he he wrote down in preseason but a lot of that has gone out the window now fwiw I reckon
1 RTS, not worth playing Tuaupiki there the other team will just keep bombing to him and smashing him until he is hurt. Roger is bigger and ready for contact
2 Pompey, goal kicker
3 Berry
4 Capewell
5 Tuaupiki, would have not made any of Kosi's mistakes
6 CHT
7 TMM
8 Fish
9 Egan
10 Afoa
11 Halasima
12 Laban
13 Clark
14 Healey
15 Vaimaunga
16 Ford
17 Niukore
18 Boyd

Two weeks to practice the new line up and then smash a bottom 8 team at home leeessshhh go!!!

The worst part about Kosi is the attitude.

Dallin has problems, but at least he's genuinely trying.
Ed just seems to mope around half bored.
I don't think he consciously goes out with a shit attitude as such, but he does have a major mental resilience issue. When he's up - like at Cup level - he carries with intent, moves well with good energy, all that good stuff.

But seems even the most minor setback, like losing one collision, saps his confidence and he becomes tentative, indecisive and spirals from there. If he had Chanel's mentality he'd be test winger by now.
