What are everyones thoughts??

Matulino and McQueen will surely start if fit.
Milne may get a centre spot.

Competition for spots is pretty good.

ET starting hooker for NZ this week will be interesting if we're going to squeeze McQueen into the backrow .
I agree with Milne in the centres too .

Think you've hit the nail on the head TK - for game 1, I think that is the best we could do.

Having seen how well RCG went off the bench for Penrith I like the idea of Matulino at 14.
ET to spend some time at hooker to spell Liddle.

Like your team..but the 16 should and probably will play long minutes as a starter and your 12 will be impact off the bench..but that’s just my guess

I would like to see Aloiai start in the 2nd row with McQueen. I reckon he will be a beast next season…

Lawrence on the bench at best for mine. Love him but not as a starter.
 
no marshall as a utility??….i thought his kickin game was great in the last couple of rounds of the season...he could break the game open for us??

Most Contentious positions are centre ; Marsters or Milne and the make up of the backrow, mostly how best to play ET.
I thought we played best when ET rotated between hooker and 2nd row. When he played 80 mins at 13 he was good at times but ended up getting smashed and fatigued. I thought we were more composed when Eisenhuth moved there. It also gave us a bigger pack and allowed ET to play a bit fresher.
The only thing about ET playing some dummy half is Liddle may start from the bench, then there is no Marshall. Or Liddle starts 9 , ET starts 12 Marshall 17 and one of Aloiai & McQueen Starts and the other on the bench and comes on when ET relieves Liddle at DH.

16\. Josh Aloiai
17\. Benji Marshall or another forward

Without Kev in the side we seem more solid in defence, however do lose a bit of spark. For this reason I'd have Benji on the bench to cover the backs. This way if something does happen we are playing a second rower in the backline.
