Second this. We already have an attacking based hooker in Liddle and Godinet just wasn’t good enough. Mcilwrick has been pretty good in ISP and can help a lot in defence.
 
Until Russell Packer arrives I believe either Felise or Grant should start. They are big and hit the line harder then Eisenhuth who has a ‘big motor’ but doesn’t hit the line hard.

Or at least on the bench with Twal starting.

I don’t know who the poster was, however I agree that Alioia is better starting off the bench.
 
with a fit Packer we win that game

Forwards have been less intense since his injury.

Hopefully Rowdy is back and Sue drops off the bench with Aloiai going onto bench who provides excellent impact

I said it in the game thread, we really missed Rowdy out there.

Rowdy and Tayor do all the 1 percent plays and clean up so much and Taylor in the ruck slowing it down

Nofo, Sue and Godinet dropped
 
The team needs a 4 ….Kev N fullback,...Fonua ,Thompson or. Mwz wings . The need for another center is priority.

Put MWZ into the centres and Founa into the side for some mongrel out wide that we missed on the weekend. Have both Mahe and Nofa returning the ball like forwards.

Marsters has gotta start hitting the line with some venom, he's 108kgs of power, he should be smashing through the opposition outside backs, instead of this dancing stuff .. he's kind of been watching and doing this Woods like approach and just walking into the defensive line hoping to make meters backwards.

I think Aloiai has more impact off the bench.

Taylor might be ruled out with the concussion rule.

Gamble should be added the side and will add "X" factor off the bench as an impact player.

Question .. is Liddle ok, he looked busted up when he came off ??

Interchange:
14\. Elijah Taylor
15\. Alex Twal
16\. Michael Chee Kam
17\. Nofo or Tui.

Three changes:
1\. have Elijah Taylor as Hooker relief.
2\. move Kevie to the wing. Kevie is doing so awesomely well. He still has a stack of pace on him and man he is killing it. I don't want to take him out of his spot but I see no other alternative. Nofo leaks tries while Kevie has been solid in defense.
3\. Founa, give him a shot.

We do need some bench cover. So keeping Nofo there incase someone gets injured.

18\. Mckillrick cover for Liddle
19\. McQueen Cover for Lawrence

Heavy machinery outside - two potential weapons in fonua and masters on the same side - or swap MWZ and Fonua for more balance.

Gamble to get blooded.

Looks a pretty good side to me. I think Fonua deserves his chance and Gamble too onto the interchange bench. McQueen should be getting match fit now and start to press the existing 2nd rowers for a shot- mainly Lawrence.
 
A lot of people who were on the Nofa bandwagon look to have quickly jumped off it by the looks of many teams.

I would give Nofa another chance even though his defence was abysmal on that wing.
Coaches always said to me as a winger - "If the try is scored inside you then its the centres fault. When its outside you, its your fault as the winger".

It may be time for MKZ to get a rest and Thompson pushes over to the left wing because we need that X-Factor Tui brings.
