** Assuming Nofo and Naden are all available.

Update as Stef is out.

Brown to play in the second row. Give him a chance to show what he can do in a position that we are really poor in.

Brooks off the bench to fill in where required but probably 9.

Matamua to come into 13 when he comes on an play a ball playing lock role. Joe O can move to prop or get a rest.

My first change would be Hastings 7 and Brooks dropped but we know it will stay as it was against Panthers so no point bothering with the rest.

I would like to see Musgrove dropped and given permission to look around, Matamua back to reserves playing lock. Dias replacing Musgrove and Tumeth replacing Matamua.

Apart from that, don't change a thing 🤣

Dias is very average in the middle. Very. He makes Musgrove's lateral movement look like that of a gazelle.
 
One fans opinion:
1. Daine Laurie
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Junior Tupou (Would be happy with AJ Kepaoa also)
4. Brent Naden
5. Ken Maumalo
6. Adam Doueihi
7. Jackson Hastings
8. James Tamou
9. Jake Simpkin
10. Fonua Pole
11. Kelma Tuilagi (only because we have no other starters)
12. Luke Garner
13. Joe Ofahengaue

14. Nu Brown
15. Aitasi James
16. Austin Dias
17. Brandon Tumeth

We don't have the capabilities to play anything but a power game and 3 forwards is a must on the bench.

The cupboards pretty bare, deficiencies all over the paddock. Looking at the list I cannot see how they thought they could get a decent 1 through 17 out of that. Player recruitment the last few years has been woeful and no more back ended contracts and have a payment ceiling.
 
Dias is very average in the middle. Very. He makes Musgrove's lateral movement look like that of a gazelle.
Who's left? Seyfarth? He defends well but is poor mans Hetherington and gives away too many penalties. Discipline is our biggest issue atm and he would not help.

It’s going to be a long 7 weeks. Outside of Naden we are expecting anyone back for the rest of the season. Our squad is stretched in first grade and the back ups are either kids or useless.

I’d like to see Tupou get more time in first grade as he looks a talent.

1. Laurie (there is no one else to even consider)
2. Nofoaluma
3. Tupou
4. Naden
5. Ken

6. Doueihi
7. Hastings

8. Tamou
9. Brown
10. Pole
11. Tuilagi
12. Garner
13. Joffa

14. Simpkin
15. Dias
16. Tumeth
17. Musgrove (I don’t want him in the side but we have no one else, can’t run with 4 rookies in the forwards)
