Forward Pack Discussion

IMO Benji is doing our attack a lot of harm not establishing a ball playing lock to help our halves. I actually dont care who chooses, but he has time choose someone. and train them there in that role. Guys like Pole and Twal just cant play 13, well not the type of 13 we require anyway. The best at it is Latu, but he is also our best 7 and you dont want him being banged up the middle so young. Other options that have shown the skill to possibly get there are Sione, Doueihi and Seyfarth. Just pick one of them Benji and train them in that role. This 3rd front over crap is killing us.

Twal at lock to start game
Latu Fainu comes on at 7 and pushes AD to 13 in attack
hinges on May being able to play close to 80

This is what I'm hoping as well. Gives us a bit of flexibility throughout the game and a chance to throw two different attacking structures at our opposition, which would be hard to prepare for. I don't necessarily think it means we need Terrell to play big minutes though. With Sione, Hunt and Bunty on the bench and Twal joining the rotation, we should be able to give him a decent spell.

Anyway, that's just my two cents worth of pure speculation.

The comments from track watchers at open training seem to point towards it being more of the same from last season with a defensive 13 to start off with possibly Latu as the utility.

But part of me thinks Benji has something up his sleeve that is different to last season in that spot.

food for thought, the 'starting pack' at the open session was Bunty, Twal and Seyfarth.

I dont think we want two halfbacks during one game...our attack has been rubbish in the red zone the last few years...two 7s wont be helping that

First Galvin now Bunty why is it always the new blokes leading the way

latu can play as a second 6 on other side of ruck and AD can distribute from middle much like how yeoh does for penrith, it will get latu and luai that bit wider

How do you come to that conclusion when our attack looked at its best last season when we had Luai, Doueihi and Latu Fainu all on the field at the same time ?
The issue with them all being on the field at the same time is how we will cope defensively, but it’s perfect in regards to our attack,
