Team vs Broncos

Does anyone know what’s going on with Afoa, Luai said he was the standout in pre season but hasn’t been sighted as yet ?
Or have I missed something.

Yeah the prop rotation won't be changed unless injury. They are going to well. I could possibly put Bunty and Royce on in one game against certain sides. Bulldogs come to mind. Sides that have smaller .mobile forwards. Bunty, Royce and Sione coming at them for 15 minutes either side of halftime. Wow

Very difficult team list this week.

Taylan, Luai, Tino, Laulilii all potentially back. Injury clouds on Turuva and Sam Fainu.

I don’t have an answer but it will be interesting.

This is where having a strong list gets tricky ? Benji and the coaching team will
have plenty to work out.
First thing is injuries, who’s available and who’s not.
One thing for sure, I can’t see our million dollar man playing any grade but firsts.
And how we can drop Madden will be darn near impossible. That means Douehi to another spot , but where.
I’m glad it’s them choosing the team and not me !!

It great that we could rest injured players instead of playing them like before it's such a long season
 
This will be polarizing but here's my take:

1. Bula
2. Turuva ( if out, Tavana)
3. Douehi
4. Taylan May ((if still out, Herbert)
5. Makasini
6. Luai
7. Madden ( must be there as true halfback)
8. Terrell May
9. Korosau
10. Pole (prefer Sione but is he out?)
11. Sione Fainu (if out, Sukkar)*Also assuming Samuela is out.
12. Pearce-Paul
13. Twal

14. Latu Fainu
15. Herbert
16. Hunt ( will he be cited?)
17. Sukkar

18. Afoa (or could be Seyfarth)
19. Laulilii

First time today Seyfart played more then 20 minutes he was playing on average 15

You don't think Latu can play in the middle for 15 minutes he's defence is great

And with the 6 man bench if we lose a forward to injury we are covered

seyfarth covers second row and front row
if jock goes to bench he covers halves and AD can move to centre if injury happens and we have that game managing 7 comes on.
Unfortunately I see Latu missing out
 
Yeah we've got a dilemma .. team has won 3 games in a row and looking like they gelled well as a team.. a few injuries out of yesterdays game .. and previously injured and suspended played ready for return against the Donkeys. Here's hoping injured players will recover in time for the game .. otherwise a little shuffling of the deck maybe required.

1.Bula
2.Skelton - (Makasini to the wing)
3.Makasini - (Taylan May straight back in)
4.Herbert
5.Turuva
6.Madden - (Jerome Laui in)
7.AD
8.May
9.Api
10.Pole
11 Sam Fainu - (if out Seyfarth or Mavrik Geyer)
12 KPP
13 Twal

14.Latu Fainu - (Jock Madden to the bench .. Latu Fainu drops out .. ??)
15.Sione Fainu - (If out Bunty Afoa onto the bench)
16.Hunt
17.Seyfarth - (if Seyfarth starts, Mavrik Geyer onto bench)

INS: Taylan May returns .. Jarome Luai returns .. Luke Laulilii returns .. Starford To'a is ready .. Faaletino Tavana is ready .. Bunty Afoa available .. Mavrik Geyer available .. Tony Sukkar available

OUTS: Sam Fainu (possibly) Sione Fainu (possibly)

** Here's a thought from left field .. if Sam is out move Twal to 2nd row .. Doueihi to 13 .. Madden to 7 and Laui to 6 .. ??
 
1. Jahream Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Adam Douihei
4. Taylan May
5. Heamasi Makasini
6. Jerome Luai [C]
7. Jock Madden ✨️
8. Terrell May
9. Apisai Koroisau [C]
10. Fonua Pole
11. Samuela Fainu
12. Kai Pearce-Paul
13. Alex Twal

14. Latu Fainu
15. Sione Fainu
16. Royce Hunt
17. Alex Seyfarth

18. Bunty Afoa
19. Patrick Herbert


Tannous Sukkar in for Samuela if he's injured.
Bunty first choice bench replacement any changes.

I think that's the team mate, although I'd give Jock a chance and rest AD if his groin isn't up to kicking.

A couple of little things with AD cost us a shot at 60, running when the backline move is on and throwing cutouts when turuva can't run.... would have loked to see KPP used more on those shifts, and Herb too in the 2nd half. I love how he's playing overall and don't think Benji drops him.

Can I contradict myself. Heard Adel Hage analyse our performance and based on that I think I'm at least partly blaming the wrong half for some of today's missed opportunities. There is hardly any real footy analysis in the media so this was a great listen. His perspective (I'm paraphrasing) was AD made the best of questionable service on the inside.

Wests Tigers TV poddie for anyone interested.
 
Turuva looked more like he got a cork, and tried to run it off - I doubt he would have continued playing if they thought it was bad

Fainu is the concern. Was limping a fair bit after the game

Spot on. Think we need Madden in there. Like Tannah Boyd at the Warriors, Jock isn't a world beater but he does his job, organises the team and gives space to the outside backs with his direct running. Luai or Douihie compliments him well. Need Luai in there for defence as well as a left kick option.
