I don't think that Fonua is a walk up start in the backline. Sure he has looked great in England but we need to remember that he was playing a step below NRL, plus looking at our current side, there are some big improvers there. I know this thread is just a bit of fun but I think I'd like to see some pre season trials before naming a side just because some of our current players are looking hard to leave out - especially players like Marsters, Suli, Eisenhuth, Twal etc seem to have "NRL level" or even "Future Star"written all over them.
2018, just bring it on!
Fonua and Milne will need to earn their backline spots.
The only new recruit that would be a walk-up starter in our backline would be Rona if we get him.
In rd 1 I think Ivan will go:
Tui
Nofa
Suli
Marsters
MWZ
I really am starting to like MWZ, he is big, strong and fast. Going to be hard to leave him out if he keeps improving at his current rate.
