15\. Packer - Would provide more impact off the bench

The problem with that Ben is that you generally want two quality stints out of your best props. If we played Packer off the bench then he'd have one long stint across the middle of the game and he's just not the sort of prop you're going to get effective use out of for 40-45 minutes straight. He needs to go on and make a big impact, come off for a big rest and then finish the game off with a bang.

Matulino would be a better option off the bench than Packer because Mats actually could punch out an effective 50 minutes straight across the middle of the game. He'd dominate most of the bench props out there and his offload would also be very effective against tired opposition. Penrith are using RCG in this sort of role at the moment and he's been making metres at will.

I would do Milne for Founa because Founa has a big body and a strong run for a winger.

I still think we are a prop and decent edge backrower or 2 short….Grant was average today, got stood up for the first try and even though ran for over 100m, i just think he was average....Patrick Kaufusi and Ash Bateman or Ben Curries from England would be prefect.

Grant was great today, one of our best.

That bench is way to light.
 
Liddle Will be the no9 if his shoulder is okay and I would imagine Reynolds will be the player to give him a break with Benji being the no14\. Killer has had a great year, but Liddle is a better all-round no9 and is only going to get better

Chris Lawrence 100kg - 207 games
Alex Twal 106kg - 6 games
Josh Aloiai 110k - 36 games
Benji Marshall 92kg - 265 games

I know what you mean but, I don't really see any other players to put on the bench with our current roster. I guess we could put Michael Chee-Kam on the bench.

Gee whiz, no matter how you look at it, someone is going to miss out or be hard done by - spose thats a fantastic problem to have.

1\. Tui Lolohea
2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Moses Suli
4\. Taane Milne
5\. Mahe Fonua or Rona if he's actually signed.

I mean WOW - raw strength and aggression across the 2-5 will get those sets off to a great start.

Unlucky: Masters, Naiqama, MWZ,

6\. Josh Reynolds
7\. Luke Brooks

The only place we look thin IMHO - If we have an injury, Benji and Tui go in, and MWZ, Naiqama come in and the back line shifts without issue.

If we have more than two injuries in the halves, We are bringing in players like Tyson Gamble and we are screwed…

20\. Matt Mcillwrick
21\. Benji Marshall
22\. Tim Grant
23\. JJ Felise
24\. MWZ

I haven't seen much of Milne play but I would give masters first crack in centre I think he has been great for us this year, tigers rookie of the year in my opinion

2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Moses Suli
4\. Taane Milne - give him a go and see how he goes, Esan can replace if need be
5\. Curtis Rona - we must sign this guy, he's important

6\. Josh Reynolds
7\. Luke Brooks

8\. Russell Packer
9\. Jacob Liddle
10\. Ben Matulino - if Woodsy stays, he can slot in a bench spot and provide impact
11\. Chris McQueen - if fit, we can always slot in Lawrence or sign someone decent from the fire sale
12\. Elijah Taylor
13\. Matt Eisenhuth

14\. Benji Marshall
15\. Sauaso Sue - needs to pick up his form, could be our next Marty if he stays consistent
16\. Tim Grant - unless we sign someone else, he seems our only option
17\. Twal
