16. Heamasi Makasini - time to give him a taste of first grade
17. Tony Sukkar
 
Sukkar's only young, and may be a 1st grader one day. He's definitely not at the moment. I think it would be better for all if he continued his development in reserve grade.
Are there better options for his spot?

Good team - Taateo has been really good in KoE and probably deserves a start although Kit hasn’t been bad either. El-Zakhem carries the ball strongly but his defense is a bit hit and miss as is his offloads.

El Zakhem isn't a kid, that was my thinking. We want to continue the run, bringing in experienced heads just helps with decisions.

Taateo probably earns the spot though.

Both have put out decent numbers in the last few weeks, and Taateo has earned a starting role, so his progression works.
 
An intriguing team list Tuesday coming up for the right centre position. Will we see ...

1 Brent Naden slot back in

2 Heamasi Makasini make his debut and if so will it be ...
a) right centre
b) left wing with Turuva/Skelton the new right edge
c) on the bench

3) Krystian Mapapalangi make his club debut

4) Jack Bird a surprise selection at right centre

I hope #4 doesnt eventuate
 
Yeah .. like most of us .. I'd like to Heamasi Makasini or Krystian Mapapalangi make their debut .. but it sounds like Benji is going to bring in and stick with Brent Naden in the centres. We could always put Sunia Turuva into the centres .. and then bring Izaac Tu'itupou in on the wing .. ?? Naden for me is too often .. "rocks or diamonds"

Here's another conumdren .. should Benji select the "human pillow" Alex Say-fart back in or not .. i thought our pack performed well without him .. for me .. the pack did their job and we won .. why change the pack if there is no injuries .. !!

I only wish we could get more out of Royce Hunt .. everytime he hits the ball up it takes 3 or 4 defenders to bring him down and sometimes you see one of those defenders coming out of the tackle with a knock / injury .. which then makes the defence a little apprehensive on the next time they try to bring him down.

Think Seyfarth is suspended for 2 more matches
 
Either Makasini or Naden to come in at centre. I wish Tuitupou could get a shot somewhere too but he's purely wing depth and that'd mean Tino moving to centre.
 
I don’t think it’s the right time for Makasini, he’s doing his HSC at the moment and hasn’t been training with the squad, and we are still fighting for a strong finish to the season. If Naden has a shocker I’d look his way maybe.

From a matchup perspective, Cows have Nanai, Purdue & Burns on their left so Naden would be a decent match for Purdue. I also like Bula chiming in on the right up against those guys.

However if Makasini was to debut on the left wing, I don't mind him being up against Semi Valemei either.

It'll also be Luai (left) up against Dearden (right) so time for Romey to tell Tom "this is my house"!

Just need to keep close tabs on Stinkwater. Would love Skelton to level him out early!
