It would allow Marshall to be back over halfway with Miller & the team discussing the next set, what he wants and where he wants who,….while Anasta's convering

Always enjoyed mocking Zoolander.
Thought it would be hard to cheer for him.
Reality soon set in though that he is experienced, competetive and hardworking as well as a fine football player and good leader.

Benji is great from the sideline, I would let Braith kick the easier attempts- Benji tends to miss a few of the easier shots at goal

Cant we use them both in games when Braith Anasta is on he will take the kicks when his off Benji Marshall takes the kicks we have options thats a good thing.

Me too Flip, he will be one of our best players next season I am certain.
Just a little bit miffed about where Potter will play him, would have to be Lock? Maybe he will just be shuffled between Lock, Backrow and a little bit of 5/8 when needed.

But this is the question we should be asking ourselves in regards to Anasta
At 6 ,who do you want Anasta or Marshall ?? Answer Marshall
At 13 ,Who do you want Anasta or Fulton /Bell ?? Answer Fulton /Bell
At 7 ,who do you want Anasta or Miller ?? Answer Miller
At 11 or 12 ,who do you want Anasta v Blair ,BMM ,Bell /Fulton,Thompson ,Pettybourne ?? Answer Size ,Mobility and good Defence
I really want to find a fit for Anasta who does have many great strengths in his game ,but to put him in his key positions ( 6 or 13) he plays the Tigers will have to trade down and play guys who are better suited in those positions in roles which they aren't as strong at
If Benji was a better defender you could look at him playing in the centres outside Anasta , but he isn't so we can't
If we play Anasta at 11/12 we lose size and go forward that we can't afford to lose and if we play Anasta at 11/12 you can't pick Fulton either
Does anyone else have a solution ,because Happy can't see one

Regardless of who is the more accurate goal kicker.
On Ink's point alone I'd plump for Braith to be back over halfway with Miller and co discussing the next set.
With all due respect to Benji, when the little genius is at his best no one knows what he's up to …him included.
Braith's more your bread and butter general ...you know, barking obvious stuff like ...
"Cmon guys they've got nothing. Punch it pigs. Speed up the ruck we want to fast ball em down the guts. No sillies, just get to this next kick... Blake can you please stay awake out there buddy ...and for fffffs sake if the kick off goes near Moltz it's mine!"
That sort of thing ... Braith loves it.
Anasta fits in at lock for me with Fulton on the bench.
Fulton offers plenty to the side coming on midway through the first half and closing the game out being fresher tackling his ring off. While still offering options when taking on the line. Or Fulton starting in the backrow with Pettybourne providing impact off the bench.

Fulton is a waste on the bench imo
He either starts or leave him playing reggies
LaT so who are your second rowers with Anasta at lock ??
@happy tiger said:
Knowing Blair will likely take one spot, I'd have either Pettybourne or Fulton in the other. I know Fulton offers little impact off the bench, but his defence and skill when taking on the line is where I see him helping us out.
It will be interesting to see what Potter does, as there is no clear cut route IMO. Plenty of options though.
Its just too hard to say at present where Anasta will fit.
I wouldn't be so quick to rule out 7\. Benji and 6\. Anasta as most have.
Not my preference but it would be the most experienced halves we've got and anything is possible until we get an idea on how Potter structures his teams.
Personally I'm leaning towards 7\. Marshall and 6\. Sironen with Anasta at lock. For some reason I just don't have much faith in Miller at this stage.
Its most likely that we are going to have players that have played very little (if any) footy together in both the halves and the back row. I think even Potter would be holding out until the trials before he pigeon holes anyone, Benji included.

Totally agree we have plenty of options
But not heaps of options that are standouts and having Fulton and Anasta in the back row isn't a good option in my opinion
