World Cup Squads

[Matua]

So I guess with that squad it's confirmed that Tohu Harris has retired from international footy. If that's the case I'm pretty disappointed with him TBH.

England gonna be losing a few players for the world cup opener. I'd be worried if I was a English fan

That forward pack could match any team in the world. They just need the halves to do their job and it's game over. If they play samoa in the quarters or semis that would be the game of the tournament and hopefully a start of a samoavs tonga tri series for next year

True but An Amone and Lolohea halfs combo doesn’t inspire much confidence in a big game.

Great player but would he have even made the squad?

 

[Stinkfinger]

Samoa squad named. Two May brothers in the team, the third must have been close to making it. Imagine Tyrone will be the 14 after a solid season for Catalans. This is quite some side.

1. Suallii
2. May
3. Tago
4. Crichton
5. To'o
6. Luai
7. Milford
13. Taupau
12. Leilua
11. Sua
10. Papalli
9. Levi
8. Paulo

14. May
15. Aloiai
16. Leniu
17. Tualagi

Good looking team but the bottom line is if they make the final then Anthony Milford has to wind back the clock to 2015. I don't see it happening.

I certainly wouldn’t put money on them but it’s a team on paper who can trouble any team in the comp. Hopefully they deliver.

Harris Tevita 7

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA God no. Decent player but nooooo...

He'd compliment Luai perfectly.
Great kicking game, good organiser and will give Luai quality early ball.
Samoa needs a cool head like him.

Milford is the absolute last thing they need!

I disagree I like CHT but Milford is a different player in that blue jersey.

Class players all over the park. Only area they might be light on is edge backrowers. I don't think Su'a, Tualagi or Leilua are going to worry the top teams. Schulster and Nania would have made a huge difference.

By the looks of the that team if Samoa's forwards gives the halves good ball. That star studded backline will be there weapon against England. Especially with Suaali'i at fullback.

It was a rough way to audition but he was shit when he went to fullback for Easts. I'm not sure he's better than Critter yet, obviously he will be in time

If you're talking about that finals game they lost souths your way too harsh on the kid. He showed alot of potential and he almost broke the line most of the time. But also his age and inexperienced showed too by not letting the ball go out wide. Even Billy Slater was impressed by how much potential he showed in that game. You've also got to remember Suaali'i probably hasn't trained at fullback all year being behind Teddy and Manu. And than he was rushed in to one of the most intense game of the year. All I know is england loves kicking high balls at the back everytime they play samoa and having Suaali'i back there would make a huge difference

Samoa have more players in the NRL GF than any other country. That must be a first for Australia!

Think they're 7 now because May pulled out. Same number as the Kiwis. Funnily enough some of those kiwis have samoan heritage as well
