I hope Benji plays Jock and AD appropriately tonight. I fear he will give Adam the main on ball role and Jock will just be a fill in at 6. IMO that takes away from both their strengths, especially in the wet conditions.

Get Jock on the ball, push the team around and try and dominate field position with his kicking game. Then allow AD to use his running game off the back of that. AD could have a big game if he allows Jock to organise and straighten our attack.

Agree I hope that's the plan too KS.

I do feel an 11th hour late change though, AD out, Api & Madden to start in halves, Hope to start at hooker then Latu comes on at 5/8 after about 20-25 mins, Api back to hooker. Just have a feeling.

Fully agree with Jock @ 7 and directing play.
I would think he would also be too slow and too small @ 5/8. Wasted there.
And Jock would still want to direct - manage others. That's his forte.
Can't have two players doing the same job.
Doueihi harder to tackle and have more room to run and get it to the outside backs.
Surely Benji is just playing silly buggers with us.

Either way, with Luaia out of the halves we can expect more stability and less Benji ball, making it easier for Bula to support. I'm hoping for a better game from him with less chaos up front

Lots of changes in key positions just as they should be warming into the game.
Dont like it myself

i dont think AD does much in the way of directing and managing when he wears the 7 alongside Luai. At the moment we look like 2 x 6's one playing on the left and one on the right. A bit like the way Munster and Hughes play. One might be the default kicker depending on where we are on the field.

Don’t like it either but the Issue is we don’t really have any other option than to do that if AD was ruled out.

I really don’t want us chucking Latu in for 80mins against the Warriors team given Luai is gone for next few weeks.
 
Big task v Wahs in Aeoteroa, they are flying and deserve to be absolute favourites.

Just want to see us take a strong attitude into this one. If the lads can defend like its a lifestyle then no doubts the attack can take care of itself. We have the talent on deck.
Written off by everyone this week, sometimes the football Gods shine on the underdogs....

Flown over for the game. Currently sitting on Auckland harbour and you could not ask for a better day! (Yesterday was apocalyptic levels of rain). Expect a fast track and open game.

Parasol at the harbor has beers and a superb view. Enjoy and hopefully we get the dub to kick off a mad weekend 🥷😎

Ali Leiataua in the final team sheet for Warriors in NSW Cup. Warriors must be pulling a late change at right centre in NRL - Nicol-Klodstadt maybe with Tuapiki at the back.

Further to this Bunty Afoa on our NSW Cup team sheet starting at prop. Late change coming in NRL, Latu Fainu onto the 6 man bench.
