Your team vs Raiders

With Klem and Alaimalo unavailable but Twal, Lobb & Sullivan back. AD in Reggies again.
My team would be:

Bula
Lobb
Faataape
Olam
Staines
Galvin
Sezer
Uto
Api
Twal
Sam F
Seyfarth
Pole

Sullivan
Porter
Sione F
Me (no one else left)
 
We are very short on troops especially for decent bench spots next week. It would be timely to pick up a couple of mid season NRL players right now.
I worry that Miller would be found out by the Raiders pack - on their day they are one of the best and as luck would have it they are due to have a big game. Our current pack could end up as speed bumps if Raiders turn up with desire.

I’ve been one to hammer him regularly but the thing I noticed yesterday is he kept the dumb shit out of his game. If he does that consistently then he’s worth a spot in the team. I’m still firmly of the belief there’s no room for him & Twal in the 17 & based on current form you’d have to go with Red.
The other thing he did well was sprint into the line and step. Those ranga legs really got working for a change!
 
Don’t why people are putting Matamua in the starting line up. His lazy efforts in defence and poor discipline led to a Titans try. The raiders will definitely exploit that.

I’ve shitted on Seyfarth a lot but we were much better when he came on and Justin went to the bench.
We need to give Matamua a string of games as starting lock. The more games he plays the more he’ll build his match finess & confidence. He’s a player especially in attack, the coaches just need to work with him on his weaknesses in defence.

Galvin gets Masons mins and a bit more, have Api move to 9 once Da Silva’s has a spell. Seyfarth first middle off the bench moving to 13, he can also cover 2nd row like he did on the weekend.
