TEAM LIST Round 2 Vs NQ Cowboys

Team List
Cant disagree with anything as players form last year can be very different to this year especially the young ones however surprised to see Luke Laulillii starting with Jeral Skelton on the bench ?
Would have thought Toa in the centers with Makasini on the wing !
Also just my opinion but never see KPP do anything special for Newcastle so not rapt atm .Hope he changes my mind
 
So bunty is living and playing in australia whilst his family is back in NZ?

What could go wrong.

Guess it explains why he hasnt been upgraded. Alot of risk .
Well he hasn’t been upgraded to a top 30 contract yet. Maybe they were waiting for that to happen before making the move. He was rolling the dice coming to us.
 
Def worry about the left edge defence.

I don't think Herbert is great but he was signed to the top 30 as right centre cover and they've immediately picked May there instead.
 
Trying to get my head around the bench - Hunt, Sione and Seyfarth are self explanatory and Hope is possibly an indicator of the plan to rotate Api out and also provide an option at 13 late in the game if some spark is required (would have preferred Murray personally).

Who is spelling Twal or is he now an 80 minute 13? Madden and Skelton are sensible back cover and I guess Skelton could fill an edge if we were desperate.

It’s a weird bench
Terrell’s probably playing 80

Drinkwater predominantly attacks down his left side from memory so may be that played a role in Taylan shifting to our right as Taylan / Doeuihi & KPP more experienced to defend him. Perhaps.
