What’s wrong with that 17 ? It’s pretty close to the one I’d pick . Blore /Garner , cheekam / Simpkins . That’s about it . Depends on your perspective .

Musgrove?

It’s pretty close but glaring errors as you say. Musgrave doesn’t even get a gig? Liddle isn’t going to play 80 first up, garner starts and blore benched? MCK may get that utility spot, hope not.
Backs look on the money though.

The bench is the thing thats ?. But it’s totally a perspective thing . In the manly team , he said Foran wasn’t going to play 9 because it weakens 6 . When we all know Schuster has been promised first crack . It’s this guys perspective .
Taking a total guess, but looking at the recent training pictures, I reckon the guys in black are current 1st team and the guys in Orange are current 2nd team.
If so, from the pics the guys in black I can make out are:
Mybe - fullback (I think he’s playing the ball in pic11)
AJ & ? (Nofa but cant see in pics) - wing
Roberts & BJ - centre
Brooks and Deouhi- half
Tamou & Musgrove & Jofa & Twal - props
Liddle - Hooker
LL & ? (Couldn’t see Blore in pics) - 2nd row
One of the above- lock
Doueihi is shown goal kicking.
Orange players:
Momers, maddern, Mikaele, MCK, Tuki, Hoffman, Garner? (Pic 13), Simpkin, Talau, Seyfarth, Packer, ? (Pic 19 & 26)

I mean maybe i'm reading into it too much but the recent team photos posted over instagram/facebook look like the actual starting team
In said photos, they had Talau next to the Jet which would probably indicate he may have the wing spot over AJ/Momo etc

I blame Fred Flinstones coaching for the latest series loss
And the cocky attitude the side carried
The club was informed to bring the most likely starters to the shoot, I believe the number they wanted was 14. The photo was taken with the players on the left hand side making up the left edge - Brooks, Garner, Roberts & Talau. The players on the right hand side making up the right edge - Nofoaluma, Doueihi, Luciano & BJ and the middle included the middle players - Tamou, Ofahengaue, Twal and Blore with Mbye (fullback) and Liddle (hooker) also in the middle with Madge.
It's a good indication of how the team will likely look and is consistent with what has been happening with training, however I wouldn't say that those players are a "lock" to start. Trials will be a big factor.

James Tamou on who will play 6 in Round 1 with Doueihi suspended
'I’ve been very impressed with Jock Madden, if he gets the spot he will throw a spanner in the works for it from then on’
Got a feeling Madden is gonna make Brooks very nervous come round 2 especially if he has a blinder in
round 1

Twal looks in good shape, but this might be a bit of an ask coming off an injury...
@cctw said in [Starting team 2021](/post/1297129) said:
Just curious. Who was number 14 in the shoot?
Any concerns with a defensive side pairing of Lucy, Douhie, BJ and Nofo? The right side sounds a bit defensively weak.
Also arent Doehi and Brooks both left footers? I would be playing Brooks on the right, where he can play the open side and touch the ball across the whole field. Interesting though.

That was the joke yes.
Although for the record, I don't think Twal should be anywhere near an Edge, would have to be the slowest player on the pitch in 95% of games. He would get skinned alive by most backrowers, let alone trying to wrangle a centre.
At a pinch we can use him at 13 but I think he should be our starting prop, play big minutes and allow our other props to go hell for leather in 25-30 minute stints.
