I would give Tui a run in the centres, see if he has anything to offer, before we set him free at the end of the year

Here is my team for this round:

1\. Mbye
2\. Nofa
3\. Masters
4\. Naiqama
5\. Thompson
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks
8\. Packer
9\. Farah
10\. Matalino
11\. Lawrence (C)
12\. McQueen
13\. Taylor

14\. Twal
15\. Grant
16\. Rochow
17\. Eisenhuth

Big bench in which we can interchange with Taylor, Matalino and Packer while also coverage across the backrow.
Personally i think it is time to give McQueen a go in the backrow and see what happens. He is not a dynamic backrower but on the money we are paying him, you need to see how he contribute's to the 1st grade team over the course of full game. This week would be ideal against his old club. I think it would okay if given the chance.

Interesting TLT again. The centre spot and the make up of the bench could go either way.

I wonder if Ivan will run with Farah at 9 and Reynolds at 6 with no utility on the bench. It would seem unlikely given their recent history. Gamble might come on to/ drop to the bench.

Id like MWZ in the centres.

My team this week would be:

1\. Mbye
2\. Nofa
3\. Masters
4\. Naiqama
5\. Thompson
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks
8\. Twal
9\. Farah
10\. Matulino

12\. Taylor
13\. Eisenhuth

14\. Packer
15\. MCK
16\. Aloiai
17\. Sue

The backs to me are fairly clear cut - the forwards need some tweaking. I think we are better splitting Packer and Mats. Packer also offers more playing less minutes and can bring some mongrel in after 20 mins. Also think Sue might offer a little more hard running than other suggested options. MCK is there for his utility value over any of our other forwards - in case of an injury in the backs.

Somehow I think Ivan might go for MWZ and Rochow however!
