i would like to see Latu at 14 and Bud in reserve game, i think he is looking a bit shot for confidence atm

 

[weststigerman]

Did Benji watch Kepaoa in NSW Cup?

Latu only played 40 minutes in the NSW Cup game. Not ready for NRL minutes yet and for the first time ever we don't have to rush a half back into NRL.

Did we not do the team announcement videos anymore?

AJ hmmm

Welcome back King 👑

 

[weststigerman]

I hope Olam is on the same side as Harper.

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

AJ hmmm

Yeah not ideal but tbh what I thought they'd go with. I think if he went to second row, papiliii could do a good 20ish minutes at lock.

 

[IronTiger]

expect changes.

 

[KingRobbie]

I hope Olam is on the same side as Harper.

He's not, Harper will be the left centre for Parra.

Olam, the left centre for us.

 

[Stevec]

Come on AJ really ?

Alex Twal is starting to rack up concussions. It is a bit of a worry.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

I understand Benji's thinking. AJ gives us backrow, centre & wing coverage with Samuela & Seyfarth covering middle.

The selection of Latu would just be about showing him he is high in the pecking order. I doubt they would have any intention of playing him this week.

 

[jrtiger]

will be interesting what the bench rotation is this week. assuming Seyfarth and Klemmer do bigger stints, but is there a chance Bateman moves into the middle?

I also think we should give AJ a chance under Benji's system, he has always shown glimpses of what he can do.

I think papalii is more likely to do a stint there since he's got the size to play prop

HE'S REPLACING A PROP!!

SHEENIUS.....

I'd prefer the size over the mobility
