Next weeks team

With the latest judiciary news, I'm thinking Sheens will go with:

Staines (positional change)
Nofoaluma
T'oa (promoted from 18th man)
Naden
Tupou (promoted from Cup)
Doeuihi
Brooks
Ofahengaue
Blore (returns from HIA)
Kepaoa (replaces Pa'apili)
Utoikamanu
Koroisau
Klemmer

Twal
Pole (returns from injury hopefully)
Laurie (dummy half & backline cover)
Seyfarth (back row cover & extra middle)

18th: Ngatikaura (in case required if 2 HIAs & one is Api)

If Pole does not return, I'd promote Matamua.

Mamaulo & Reilly should return in NSW Cup, hopefully Mansfield & Jordan Hill soon too.
 
1 Doueihi (nothing that Laurie can do that Adam can't do. He is a stronger runner and a better player as well. Laurie is killing us with his no fs to give attitude and lack of courage. What's more he only appears on an edge and has zero middle third game that good modern day fullbacks have)

6 Brooks ( Can be ok in the wider second fiddle role)

7 Wakeham ( Need a steadier hand)

9 API ( is our biggest issue as his decision making and loose play is costing us building momentum. Needs to really pull his head in and ask if he is committed to the cause or just wants a pay cheque)

13 Bateman or Matamua ( whoever is fit as we need a middle ball playing option to link the good work we ARE doing)

Topou for Nofo. ( One is keen and wants to impress, the other wants out of the club)
Doueihi has played fullback and wasn't impressive. Just my opinion.
 
13 Bateman or Matamua ( whoever is fit as we need a middle ball playing option to link the good work we ARE doing)

I don't care which one it is, as long as it isn't Joffa handing off to Api again, when he needed to put his head down and get some metres.
