This is the best structured team to date factoring in Suli & Liddle not being ready. Any idea of playing a Utility and a 2nd DH on the same bench is simply crazy. For the first 4-6 weeks, we need to play structured football building on the implemented structures of the Pre-Season [these are traditionally simple]. Maybe once we can achieve these things week-to-week, we may see an expansive style of football that includes 3 Halves? [Winning the GF wont be important until September]

However, I wont be surprised to see Kev get a start over Fonua though, considering his good WC and tenure at the club? [both are plodders]

See even Watto says so..
 
Geo's team looks good, yes, but surely McQueen has to be in there somewhere. But where?

For mine, Eiso is a must, and Taylor is a must. Aloiai also has shown he should be in there somewhere even if it's a bench spot.

Even starting ET as hooker, that really only leaves one more second rower, for Lawrence or McQueen, and I think McQueen (assuming he's recovered from the neck surgery) has the goods on Chrissy.

What does that do for our captaincy, idk, Taylor perhaps?

Biggest headache is going to be the bench… I Also reckon they might give McQueen a few games in reggies due to his injury to get back his confidence, but he'll find himself in the 17 after a few rounds.

Replace Grant with Eiso and have Aloiai play prop and I'm good with that squad.

Without McQueen you have no cover for an injury in the backs. You are also trotting out your highest paid prop off the bench for a single stint when he's not a long minute player. Also, Tim Grant is a deadset trundler…

Id love to know why everybody puts Lawrence in their starting side when hes lost his pace and hes to small for backrow . Why wouldnt u have Aloiai he runs hard can make a break he can score closs to the the line and at 110kgs can fill in at prop if need be What do u think people

Why not keep Aloiai on the edge and play eiso as prop. He's already playing in the middle and he's got the size for it

Just looking at the backs and I'd like to see this but don't Fonua, Milne, Marsters and Nofo all play on the right hand side of the field. I hope at least two of them can play both sides.

Losing Suli really impacts our depth as well. We still have MWZ, Thompson and Kev as depth players and they are really good depth players but we don't have as many options.
 
Lolohea
Nofaluma
Milne
Masters
Fonua/ DWZ
Reynolds
Brooks
Eisenhuth
Lawrence
Aloia
Matulino
Taylor
Packer

Twal
Mcqueen
Sue
Liddle

20 mins - Taylor to backrow,Aloai to bench and Liddle on
At 25 mins Twal and Sue on for the props
At 50 minutes Mcqueen on for Lawrence
At 55-60 min - Packer and Matulino back on for Sue and Twal
At 65 minutes -Eisenhuth off for Aloia
At 75 minute - ET off for Lawrence

Assuming no injuries thats roughly the team although the backrowers will be based on how each is going in each game and in reality orob an injury will dictate most matches
