Simple game with those conditions will work in our favour to limit the pain & give us a chance. Jock has a great all round kicking game. If they are up for it, the wet would ideal. Pack playing well & bring Bunty in for a bit of spite against the team that didn't want him.

Andrews & Madden for mine with Latu or Murray at 14.

Bunty in for Hope.

My only question is does Herbert play over Luke or Skelton to sure up our D.

I have a Sheenius move based on conditions.

If it's a wet game, late change 60 mins before kickoff. Sione Fainu to 5/8. Hear me out ... Sione adds another big body out wide on the left, he has arguably the best passing game of any of our forwards and has ok speed. Yes laterally may be vulnerable but that is negated by the conditions!

Said someone in a bar about Darren Lockyer once.

If Bula’s showed half the ability of Lockyer I’d give him a shot at 5/8
Problem is he has not.

 

[TheGreenWookie]

We have to fit Bunty into the squad. Herbet deserves at chance at centre, Bula to center, Attard at fullback.
Madden at 7, Andrews at 6, Latu at 13 for 80 mins. Stack the bench with forwards. Doubtful we can win but keeping the margin to less than 18 is a "win" for this match.

On a par with Twal the speedy, offloading 5/8

Too many changes. Disruptive. But dream on.

 

[Gus Gould]

We need the rain

Warriors destroyed the raiders and roosters at home on a wet track.

 

[Tiger Woods]

We need the rain

We need a miracle

Yes, agree TS, I was confused with all those changes but I get confused rather easily these days !

 

[Le Tiger]

Not what I would want but have a feeling whether named as this today or not, I think Latu will be on the bench and Api will start in the halves with Madden, Hope at hooker.

Then once the sting is out of the game Api moves to hooker and Latu come on to play 5/8.

I hope API stays at 9.

Drop Pole for mine.. very unimpressed this year.

Why do you say that?

He's been going okay, numbers aren't too bad

Maybe swap him with Hunt, and Pole comes off the bench. I think both May and Pole have both been a bit flat.

Maybe, but the start of the game is very quick and that might stuff Royce, I think he's best when opposition is tired

I don't know if the weather conditions change the trajectory of this game. They also just humped Newcastle on a dry track who are probably a good peer comparison for where we are as a team. Hope Benji doesn't make the same mistake as last year where he tried to challenge the wahs through the middle. We need to run expansive shape at them this time.

So they are due for a lost

We Can Do It 💪

 

[The Chad]

Assuming Doueihi doesn't play & Latu isn't ready..

1. Bula
2. Skelton
3. Herbert
4. Makasini
5. Turuva
6. Mason
7. Madden
13. Twal
12. KPP
11. Sam Fainu
10. Pole
9. Koroisau
8. May

14. Murray
15. Hunt
16. Sione Fainu
17. Seyfarth
18. Afoa
19. Andrews

Murray & Mason to cover #9 if Koroisau needs to come off. Andrews to cover Mason if he struggles or outside back (along with Mason). Murray to play some defensive 5/8 if need be.

Added beef on the bench to match conditions.

Win through the forwards. Play players in their correct positions as much as possible. Herbert in the centres to add defensive structure. Skelton in for Luke Lualili'i to add extra metres from early tackles & to add size against Warriors outside backs.

Bomb the midget Warriors fullback & have Bula, KPP & Samuela contesting kicks all night if you can.
