Your team vs Dragons

[Betterdays22]

Looking a little slim atm..

1. Bula
2. Staines
3. Feledy
4. Olam
5. Alaimalo
6. Galvin
7. Sullivan
13. Pole
12. Sam Fainu
11. Seyfarth
10. Utoikamanu
9. Koroisau
8. Twal

14. Matamua
15. Sione Fainu
16. Miller
17. Kepaoa

I don't think we will see Kepoa anywhere near first grade again. He has been awful in cup.

Apart from that (L.Fainu if fit or TDS in for Kepoa) I think this is probably the side I would pick. I think you would have to move Pole to start if Miller is on the bench. Those two would provide great impact together but god help our lateral defence if they were on the field at the same time.

I think Kepaoa's 'dumb plays' along with Naden's will keep them out of the squad. Only reason I had him there was because I was literally typing SUKKAR and realised I had chosen the games most inexperienced bench of all time.

If Latu Fainu is fit- he's on the bench, no question.

Pole would ideally rotate into the prop rotation once Matamua comes on to the field. I would expect Miller to have no more than 10-15 minutes on the field at this stage. Again, was going to add someone like Porter but in every fibre of my being, I feel you strike while the iron is hot with Miller who has been a stand out the last few weeks.

I've heard whispers Latu is back. Would I be wrong in sayin this?

I just bloody hope his hammy is 100% if he is. Not fair on Latu or the team playing him at 70-80% speed/power.

would much prefer him build up to 80 minutes in Cup as opposed to 15-20 minutes from the bench in a position he doesn't play. if he's replacing Sullivan then I'm pretty excited, but again I'd prefer him just ply his trade in Cup.

I think u will see Staines at centre with lobb outside him this Friday. Think Staines always takes the soft options in attack, like not taking on a player of similar speed down the sideline. It’s like he’s scared to get pushed into the sideline. Hope he will take them on more now without that threat. Expecting a roughy to come in for the forwards. Maybe a Sukkar type.
Doueihi now running in opposed sessions without the injury jersey. Can’t be long now. Make a good centre in my opinion.

Anything else of note from training @lathami ? Where were Staines/Lobb lining up in the opposed session?

I thought Sezer was back this week and should go straight into 7 over Sullivan.

I would also have TDS at 14 unless Latu is available.

Isn't Latu a type of coffee?
