I reckon Nofa needs to step up or Staines may take his spot.

good team
I don't like nofo but I think he gets one wing spot though
Staines and Tupou fight out the other

 

[tony soprano]

Still not convinced with Laurie at 1.

He seems better in the front line.

17.AJ..

I have no idea of how Sheens is thinking but this is my team for first round,question mark over Bateman until we know what Sheens wants...I left Twal out just to see if Bateman is ready otherwise Twal in at 15....

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Still not convinced with Laurie at 1.

He seems better in the front line.

Still not attacking the bomb. Support play seemed better today though.

 

[TrueTiger]

Still not convinced with Laurie at 1.

He seems better in the front line.

You just cant leave him out until he shows what he can do once the season starts...its up to him to prove he can be in the 1 or top 17 at least...

[sparci]

best 13 has nofo out, but lets be honest, that's a decision we know they won't enforce..

Laurie gone after 2 games, he's not a fullback. He should keep training as a backup for the halves, but is a talented and big hearted player.

[Tom Shines]

Still not convinced with Laurie at 1.

He seems better in the front line.

I agree… Will start the season at 1 but I think he struggles for confidence under kicks… not a great asset for a fullback…

Staines will be the 1 before too long…

Still think Laurie can play a role at 14 and halves depth

 

[old_man_tiger]

All of a sudden lots of good options, especially with either of Blore or Kepaoa emerging as decent second row options if Bateman isn't ready, and so happy for young Tupou, should be his spot irrespective of whatever ken's issue is. Tommy Talau needs to be that aggressive every week and in that sense having a quality second rower next to him will be a big help.
