Change 1 - KG and Ava swapping. Only for better balance. Ava will improve as a player starting and we need someone like KG to come on in the back end of the first half and still be the forwards leader. Not a demotion by any means.

Change 2 - Santi out, Akauola in. Simply for impact. Akauola back to the backrow yesterday in reggies carved up and his time in the halves revealed a bit of a short kick. He'll be better for starting the year in reggies. I think Halatau has actually been better than Santi this year hitting it up and in defence and that's who Santi needs to aim to displace.

Possible change - Lodge back in for Buchanan if fit. He's just bigger, meaner and more dynamic. Buchanan is okay but Lodge offers more.

Possible change - Liolevave in for Sironen as a straight swap to the starting side if Sironen is injured, otherwise 18th man.

If fit Nofoaluma to centre in reggies to catch up on centre defensive patterns with a view to displacing Lawrence. I believe Naiqama deserve to keep his spot for now.

Halatau has little impact off the bench, Would like to see what Lamar can do
 
I would drop Brooks before Moses and I agree Drinkwater needs a start, I also think our bench needs some impact players Liolevave and akauloa come to mind

Well I think maybe either Galloway or Taupau to start from the bench until Lodge is back and Akoula comming in for Halatua who isn't offering much in attack or defence atm. Nofoaluma comes into the centres for Lawrence who's in the same category as Halatua…maybe Lawrence holds a bench spot

Halatau is a wasted bench option for mine. Good experience and solid utility but lacks impact.

Lawrence didn't trust his man again on 2 occasions, one let in a try. He doesn't look like beating his man. The writings on the wall I think. Back row or move on. He wasn't terrible, but he just looks and runs like a back rower these days.

Liolevave will bring some impact off the bench.

Love the starting pack at the moment, but it is a bit scary to watch once the 3 main middle men come off. We seem to leak points.

Nofo will probably need a few weeks to find his feet though.

That team will do do do do :laughing:

In all seriousness though I wonder if Taupau will need to face the judiciary with the unprovoked hit on Reynolds ??

Is the 1 because some have criticised Teddy's game? Is he above criticism for an off game?

I'm worried after seeing Woods Stats again today, and while Buchanan does a good job, we needed some more Aggression off the bench today… We will need aggression again on Friday, and I wont be surprised to see some boys out injured and suspended.

Maybe its time to bring up Graham or Funaki to see if they want to rip some dogs heads off?

Reluctant to do it, as I'd prefer 4 Forwards on the Bench, but maybe have Drinkwater on the Bench also?

Yesterday hurt us for the next couple of weeks, but put us in a great position for later in the season.

FIRE UP TIGERS!!!

Like your team willow…imo if Taylor doesn't want to rest Farah then halatua's place in the team is obvious.

I also agree with Willow, but it will not happen, Halatua will play as Taylor needs a Farah back up and he has identified Halatua as that player and Brooks will be given the 2015 season to learn his trade regardless of how he goes and I suppose their is merit in that call
