At full strength for season 2008, which would be the team you would field?
My team:
01. Luke Patten
02. Hazem El Masri
03. Daryl Millard
04. Willie Tonga
05. Matt Utai
06. Daniel Holdsworth
07. Aaron Groom
08. Chris Armit
09. Michael Sullivan
10. Jarrad Hickey
11. Sonny Bill Williams
12. Andrew Ryan
13. Reni Maitua
- Interchange
14. Ben Roberts
15. Danny Williams/Charles Leaeno (can't decide)
16. Nick Kouparitsas
17. Lee Te Maari
Interesting to have just one prop on the bench, I know, but my thinking is that we could slot Ryan into prop, which will allow us to have both Te Maari and Koups (2 super sub back rowers) in the side together. This ploy was used with Price in his second rower days if I'm not mistaken and he is now one of the best props in the world, so it's not that far fetched of an idea.
Roberts can come on and spark something big in attack from hooker. I'd rather have a combo of Sullo/Benny than Hughes/Sullo, even though Folkes will always pick Hughes.
I can't decided between Danny and Charles because on one hand, you have a more mobile prop/second rower in Danny when I already have 2 back rowers on the bench and on the other hand you have a bulldozer like Leaeno, so it's going to be touch to pick between the aray of young forwards to have on the bench.
