Team vs Storm

Gotta fix that right edge for me it's either Turuva or Herbert to right centre & Skelton or Turuva right wing. Makasini back in the team on the left wing & Luke Lualilli to fullback. Assuming Samuela & Doueihi out, Sukkar to the left edge where he has been playing in Cup & Madden to starting half. Latu at 14 to come on at some point as the ball playing middle. Murray into the 19.

Turuva is a gun winger but a very avg. fullback and stop gap centre. Maybe Toa should be the back reserve so Skelton can get game time in cup while mr I won’t even try to defend can warm the bench.

Attard an option?
Isn't top 30
 
Grind the first 20-30 minutes with Sione at dummy half with the focus being on our defence. Then bring on Latu to get creative as the forwards tire.

Looks okay with all the injuries and suspension. Charlie is due for a start in the 17.
 
Unfortunately Benji has replacements that struggle defesnively.

Out best players are Api, AD, Sam Fainu, Bula and they are likely all out. We will struggle until after the bye at least.

Channelling your inner Sheens TYGA - I like the Sione F move to hooker cos he is a smart mature player who is leadership material and will do the job. Also gives us an extra grunt on the bench.
 
Physically throws Storm around, like the Warriors did to Storm recently.

The team picked hopefully has a much better completion rate, limited errors, and of course wins 25 - 18.

I know many have written off Mason as a back up fullback, but I still remember his games at the back end of the 2024 season where he played very well at fullback filling in for Jahream.
In saying this I think it would be unfair on him as we have barely played him at fullback so far this season.
Is Makasini due back next week ?
I would play Luke Laulilli at fullback and make a choice of either Makasini or Turuva at right centre and the other on the wing.
Surely Skelton comes back into the team, but I’m fearing Benji might be stubborn and still leave him out.

agree big risk with mason at fullback bit I like turuva at either centre or wing. Hopefully big Mak is back.
unfortunately I can't see benji dropping tavana 🙁

We’re in trouble.
 
manly are still paying $34 to win the comp
will definitely be having something on them at that price. If they can get Turbo back they are a real smokey

Start of the year i took
Roosters $6
Penrith $4.50

I have tigers already at big price
if we get bula, api, kpp, Sam F all back we are still a rough chance.

I havent yet backed brisbane but I may at $9 not too sure if lighting can strike twice with Walsh

I am laying warriors and Souths i have no interest in either of them at the price.

if I have to pick it in one, it is the Roosters and Penrith in GF
Roosters win premiership at $6

This might sound crazy, but can we put Latu in at Fullback?

Turuva is an elite winger and we lose all his benefit out of yardage.

Latu would be far better at ball playing when chiming into the backline.

Fullback is not an easy position so not sure if it's the best call, but it might help us maintain our strengths.
