Your team vs raiders

Ill focus on the halves.
Latu is out for 2 weeks, Douhei for 1 week.

It leaves us with
- Luai
- Madden
- Andrews

Just the body language and way they have played together, something tells me Luai and Madden dont gel.

So we have a few options

6. Luai
7. Madden

6. Luai
7. Andrews

6. Andrews
7. Madden

I cant see Benji dropping Jarome, so given the season is gone, id be inclined to give Andrews a run..

Raiders have found some form. They wont forget our Viking clap at leichardt. It could get messy.

Bloody Latu with his silly tackle. With Doueihi out, we could have had two quality actual halves this weekend without blooding another youngster in a struggling side.

Still, as I have consistently stated, even Madden over Doueihi at halfback for me any day and we will be better for it against Canberra than we would have otherwise.

Seyfarth to start to provide 15 minutes of aggression to take the edge off Canberra. Then rotate in the impact runners & decide if Api can go 80 or if Heyward can take advantage.

Luai to #7 to allow Andrews to play wider instead of putting it all on his shoulders on Day #1.

Bring back Tupou! (But not on the wing)

Agree with all except Tupou. If the club has designs on him playing centre he would be playing centre. Has to be Saukuru if Cup selections and form mean anything at all.

Only reason I would disagree is that we would be debuting 2 rookies out wide, plus having Makasini & Heyward- probably too many in one go.
