YES!
 
Good team with some pace and height in Naden as well as Latu getting another chance.
Sullivan can get some practice in KOE and Solo can have a break from FG as he looked to be tired on the weekend and being it is his first season in FG it will do him some good to step back.

Bench looks like it can defend which we will need against the Panthers
 
This is our strongest team going on this year's form, with only Naden the unknown. But he's a big body and I think will do a job for us on the right.

Still think it will be hard to roll the Riff but as long as we see a gritty performance like against the Sharks and Eels then I'd be happy. A win would make me happier tho.
 
Not enough points in us to trouble the very good Panthers defence.

I agree somewhat with Solo but think about who he’s been up against in defence lately! They certainly didn’t get the upper hand or where even noticed.
Suli
Herbie
Penis-ini
Takarangi
Taka had a good game but the rest were barely noticed. Does say something about Solos defence, which goes unnoticed by most.
 
I hope Latu isn't being rushed back prematurely.

AJ is unlucky to be dropped. He was one of our best on the weekend and dare I say it, offers real impact from the bench.

Naden is good for at least one brain explosion a game, though he does bring pace and size to our impotent backline.

I am much more confident of our chances against the Panthers than St George. Not only is it stronger Tigers team, our record against the Panthers is also decent all things considered.
 
As good as we could have named.

Only part I’m not a fan of is Latu named. I think he should be given time to get confidence in his body before going into firsts.
