Fifita on bench in front of Gibbs (big call I know but Fifita provides an X factor from the bench similar to when Laurie had a good game)

Lazarus has been ' the next big thing' for a couple of seasons but hampered by injury. Time to give him a go and see what he's got.

Heighington is no where near big enough to play in the front row.
Not sure how you can leave gibbs out given his recent run.

15\. Todd Payten
16\. Jason Cayless (I still hold hope that he will be a good buy once fit)
17\. Mark Flanagan/Junior Moors/Andrew Fifita/Tame Tupou

Agree with that team no fitzhenry yeeha

It hink lote will get his chance at the back when hes more match fit and i think sheens has mentioned that in a interview.

Heino needs to pick his game up and i would have 4 forwards on the bench and im sure you were crying out for that last year.

This is the best 17 we can put on the park IMO.

Mullaney, fresh from 20's would be a big step up. But after watching his performances in the NYC finals series last year, the bloke is fast, a try saving tackler, good goal kicker.

He is our future full-back and in that I have no doubt

Mine is a little different but the core pretty much picks itself. I've gone for more off-loading ability in the second row, size on the wings, and another domestic prop on the bench to simply just hit it up.

1\. Tuqiri
2\. Tuiaki
3\. Lawrence
4\. Moltzen
5\. Roqica
6\. Marshall
7\. Lazarus
8\. Gibbs
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Ellis
12\. Dywer
13\. Hieghington

14\. Fulton
15\. Fafita
16\. Moors
17\. Woods

**Tuqiri** with the ball in hand more, playing at liesure either side of the ruck is a must. He has this natural pedigree to sniff out something is happening.
**Roqica** is our future Manu Vatevi. With a few more years development and discipline, I think this kid has a bright future.
**Moltzen's** speed and ball playing ability on the fringes will be devastating. Centre is the position he will represent Australia in.
**Lazarus** is the missing link between Robbie and Benji. Give him a few weeks and he will remain for life…
**Dywer** has the off loading & line breaking ability of a Sonny Bill. With a few more years, we will know if he can tackle as good..
**Fulton's** ability in the backrow and natural playmaker ability is a more suitable 14.
**Woods** is that second domestic prop like Bryce Gibbs who will keep hitting it up and make his tackles every game.
