Wingers 2025

Love CT but he is way too slow

Finau looked very good. But having said that Sloan would have scored those 4 tries as well due to the good work inside.

100 - I think Sloan adds due to his ability to combine through the middle w Gutho and will help us break things up a bit w his speed. No doubt the other wingers are more seasoned and "pro's" at the basics of wingplay but I think the "x factor" might get him the nod. I'd like to see Finau and Sloan personally

If CT plays today a couple of those long range tries don't get scored ,
he simply doesn't have the pace .. which is a shame because he ticks
most other boxes

Great observation.

Probably true, but there are also games where there are no long range tries and the most important thing is muscling up and making some metres with really tough carries. Those games are more common than the 4 tries in a half games.

I think Sloan plays on the right. He only played on the left because Finau got injured. So it could be finau on the left and Sloan on the right for round 1.

CT was one of the reasons why broncos got so frustrated against us last year because of his yipping and yahooing after every try. It’s an underrated part of his game but he can really fire us up and piss off the other team. Reliable finisher as well and gets through a lot of carries.

Imo I think flano would be mad to leave him out if he was fit.

Whoever is up against Jeral Skelton had better be able to tackle.

Lawson.





Why wait?

I think the trials showed that our winger depth is not just a list of players. It's depth, and a nice headache for Flanno. What does the team need more? We need speed for sure... so that leans toward Finau, Sloan and Lawson. But with no Lomax and a lack of power in the middle we need the tough carries and big metres of Tuipolotu and Feagai.

I reckon the latter is probably what we need slightly more than the former. They'll still score a bunch of tries because our edges are so dangerous.

Does anyone know who is the quickest winger? How about a list from quickest to slower.

Finau is the quickest out and out winger, sloans probably quicker than him. From there it would go Lawson, then toss a coin for the other 3 snails in Rav Fegai and Tui

reckon flanno might start w one of each (speed / power)
