"needs a spark"???
A competent halves pairing would be a pretty good start.

Along with paws who admitted to being at family BBQ's with him. Maybe sock accounts and its just the 1 person. Had my suspicions for a while. Seem to parrot each other ad nauseum.
I reckon we should go hard for Sualli. Worst case we force the Rorters to pay more for him like with did with Moses. Then we grab Teddy is Sualli wont come. Maybe even try Manu as well. Both have far more longevity than Teddy.

Burton's spiralling bombs are going to give whoever is full back nightmares.
I like to see the following backline this week
Staines
Toupou
AD
Naden
Toa
Brooks running 5/8
Wakeham
Laurie 14 or State Cup
If AD does not like Centre than allow him a urgent release to another club.

no reason Douihie can't play the 13 role Sheens wanted Hastings to play especially if we have papali and Bateman as second rowers (when fit and not suspended)
Why not? He not quick enough for 1, 6, or 7 and can miss tackles just as easy at 13!

at 13 he can have some help in the forwards tackling too. It may well work.
Would also be happy with AD to fullback has played well there for souths

I think this is the best option but Laurie missing out seems a bit rough to me. I also can't see how the coaches are going to change the team now. We'll find our soon but it's only 2 games in.
Doueihi and Laurie won't be happy but it's also professional footy.

AD's ball playing is about as good as Twal's. I reckon at fullback he went okay but a lot of people think he was terrible in that position.
I don't know where you play him but he is one of the only guys in our team who can make a bust so I suppose you have to find a spot for him.

once we get outside the 17 we are very thin on depth. We need to be playing Brooks AD probably Laurie etc. Nofo is probably one of the few positions we have depth in the wing tupou, Ken M etc
Several of your wishes are going to come true. Not all though.
How does
Staines
Nofa
Toa
Naden
Tupou
AD
Brooks

I reckon AD went ok at FB in a top 8 team always playing off the front foot but was found out as an average FB in a bottom 4 side always playing off the defensive. His best position is still debatable but I would be keen on him giving lock a crack, he’s a bit of a hog so he’s still gunna run it plenty, which you want your lock to still play as a forward but would also allow him to have some ball playing in between.
Then maybe Laurie to 5/8, Staines to FB and Topou on the wing.
Or Wakeham to half and Brookes to 5/8, then Laurie and Stains stay at FB and wing and you drop Nofo for Toopou.

Drop Nofo. Wakeham to 7 and push everyone a little wider so Brooks to 6, AD to centres and To'a to wing.
Laurie cops it I think a bit unfairly.
You may be disappointed in an hour or so then. But Wakeham will be in the 17.

Thanks scoop.
Ha! But that will be the backline this week.
If Sheens keeps Nofo then that proves he’s lost it. Same goes for Brooks at 7.
Wakehem should be our 7 and Brooks and AD running off him either side.
Then again I thought Sheens lost it a long time ago.
