If Brooks and Doueihi can’t conjure up a winning game plan behind this toward pack .. they’ll never be able to win games .. this will be a do or die season for them both. Having Api out of dummy half is going to be a big bonus for them both. I’m still not sure to have as Naden’s partner in the centres .. Talau or Kepaoa .. after watching the trial game against the Raiders, Kepaoa has developed into beast, he’s huge .. not super quick but quick enough to be a real handful out wide. I can see Sheens and Benji him turning into a hard running back rower this season.
Also gotta think whether or not we go with speed in Staines on the wing .. ??
Anyways .. bring it on .. Sunday is our 1st game against the Titans .. let’s go lads, rip in .. !!
