Starting Lineup (Barring Injuries)

1\. Moltzen
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Koroibete
6\. Marshall
7\. Miller
8\. Galloway
9\. Farah
10\. Woods
11\. Pettybourne
12\. Blair
13\. Anasta
14\. Fulton
15\. Naiyaravaro
16\. Ben Murdoch-Masila
17\. Utai

Naiyaravaro is going to be there round one imo. The hype train is building and if he goes well in the Parra game he gets a chance to shine on TV cameras in the foundation cup. I probably would choose a different side to that but that's what I reckon we're gonna see.

Fulton and Utai would give us a small bench. Given his form last year and he can play prop you have to say Matt Bell should be picked ahead of Utai.

I prefer Teddy to Moltzen if he is fit to go.
 
Has anybody actually watched Adam Blair play ?

I don't wanna be harsh on the bloke, it's not a personal attack but I don't think I would even have him in my 17.
Are we picking him on his name? Surely not on form? You've got rocks in your head if you would have Blair in front of Fulton

I put BMM, pettybourne, bell, fulton, anasta, all in front of Blair, maybe even boden thompson. With our current lack of depth in the front row due to Groat and Gavet injuries, i would be starting Blair on the bench and playing him 40mins in the front row at best. He's not good enough to be out there for 80 mins. From memory Bellamy used to play him in the front row at times at melbourne.

I would have Fulton play 80mins all day every day, with heigno and ellis gone the tigers are going to be extremely vulnerable up the middle (if we weren't enough last year)
 
But blair has the potential to play like he did in 2011, and with his price tag potter can't legitimately not play him in the 17\. I reckon he's getting more used to the tiger's style of play (opposite of storm) and potter is making the tigers play more like storm, so blair should have a better season in '13\. Potter and co. have made some encouraging statements about his enthusiasm at training, especially in contact which is encouraging considering his biggest problem was hiding from the ball last season.

My team would kick off with
1 Moltzen with Teddy to take over if Timmy is to timid again.
2\. Koro got to give him time
3 Ash needs speed & a bit of a passing game
4 Lawry hope his speed returns
5 Nofo assuming Loti is injured
6 Benji - will somebody give him some sprint training we can't afford for him to be slow & not tackle
7 Miller hope he comes through
8 big Keithy
9 Farrah hope he brings his kicking boots
10 Woods with Bell as a stand in
11 Pethybourne
12 Fulton if not Thompson
13 Anasta hopefully he'll take control on the 5th and get us out of trouble and also looking forward to more repeat sets which will mean less defensive work load.
14 BMM
15 Bell
16 Utai
17 Thompson
