That would be close to my team except Luke Laban will be in mix probably. Daniel Palavi has more experience of those three bench props.
Sam plays centre/second row whereas James plays centre/wing and fullback at a pinch. If you've got Nafe on the bench already then Sam gets the nod. Ben Henry would be slightly ahead of James, he's a little older and played in tougher comps, Senior As and Maori U18s since he was 15 and travelled as 18th man at least once last year.
Thomas vs Sunita is a tough one.

Was that James Te Pou who was linked to Parramatta at one stage? but chose to stick with the Warriors?

Heard he plays in the Centres, big strong kid, one to watch this year.

although I don't like rubbishing guys he is a classic, good on attack, but on 'd' he steps to the side and then chases people down. he's an awesome touch player, i guess that is the problem.
he would get eaten up with big second rowers and centers running at him. but hopefully for the warriors sake he can prove me wrong.

He's great to watch isn't he?

looking at the other clubs u20s, the warriors look the best..

I'm fairly sure that's him.

Beau King - he definately be a regular this year. He ripped up for Auckland Provincial team and also in the Maori Nationals for Counties-Manukau along with Bristowe.

Jody Henry is better than Issaac John imo. John did come good - but I feel he got the nod because henry was older - i.e last chance.

Laiseni has to be given a decent chance - a little skinny but plenty of speed - given his time tbh.

Billy tupou suprised me tbh looked like a bit of a nuffie when I first seen him.

Plenty of pakeha players in the wide squad this year. Which is good.

any relation to tosh ?

Great - Sam Baxter being one.

Hey perhaps the Warriors will unearth the next Clif Beverly or Carl Doherty?

As long as it stops us from having to recruit the next Matt Jobson or Daniel Sullivan.
