Your team vs Titans

For me im starting the best 13 players we have available and the putting unproven talent on the bench. Maybe that talent hasn't earned it yet, but sometimes those naturally gifted guys respond to opportunity. So im giving Broaderlow and Saukuru debuts off the bench.

1. Bula
2. Skelton
3. Turuva
4. Makasini
5. Tavana
6. Fainu
7. Doueihi/Madden/Luai
8. May
9. Api
10.Pole
11.Roberts
12.KPP
13.Sione

14.Broaderlow
15.Saukuru
16.Murray
17.Mason

18.Andrews
19.Sukkar
Api will play origin. Hooker a huge problem. Lets hope Doueihi is ready.

I'm anticipating Doueihi will do all he can to play, Skelton to miss with HIA (it didn't look good at the time) & Makasini to go back to NSW Cup to build confidence.

Bula
Turuva
To’a
Herbert
Laulilii
Luai
Doeuihi
Seyfarth (starting in place of Charlie purely for his experience)
KPP
Sione Fainu (to play first 20 mins on the edge before moving into middle rotation)
Pole
Latu Fainu (also halves cover)
Terrell May
-
Hope
Murray (rotation with Seyfarth)
Afoa (our Hunt replacement)
Sukkar (to replace Sione on the left edge after 20 mins)
Haywood (in case Latu has to move to halves)
Tavana (backline cover)

So you're saying that Makasini is proven Sirro? General consensus is he was abominable yesterday and a lot of people believe he's simply not ready yet. I'm one of those people.

No im not saying that at all. I said im picking our best 13 that are available. We have no other option for centre so he becomes the best available
 
This is damn hard with so many out of form or plain awful options but gave it a crack!

1. Bula
2. Tavana (not really first grade standard but ..)
3. Turuva ( generally defended well in position)
4. Herbert (another weak defender but .. )
5. Laulilii
6. Luai (someone kick him up the ...)
7. Latu Fainu (let's see what he can do)
8. May
9. Haywood ( probably too early but...who else?)
10. Pole
11. Sukkar (good in Cup)
12. KP
13. Sione Fainu
14. Murray (cover for Haywood)
15. Seyfarth ( really not good enough but...)
16. Roberts
17. Aho (good in Cup)
18. Mason
19. Toa (doesn't deserve it but....)

Left out: Makasini (not up to it and needs spell in Cup), Hope (not up to it), Geyer (not up to it),
Saukuru (not quite ready), Andrews ( not quite ready.

What does Benji do to make these guys put in and stay resilient like they were at the start of the season?

Will that team win? I’m not feeling it tbh…
 
1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. To'a
4. Herbert
5. Makasini
6. Andrews (debut) and to goal kick.
7. Luai (extra responsibility to try and bring more out of him)
8. May
9. Latu
10. Pole
11. Seyfarth
12. KPP
13. Sione

14. Haywood (debut)
15. Afoa
16. Sukkar
17. Aho (debut)
18. Mason
19. Saukuru (potential debut...but most likely ride the bench)

Obviously if AD or May are good to go, they come straight in for Andrews/Herbert.

This is pretty close to the team I would be picking. Not convinced on Sione in the backrow. Hows Sukkars form in Cup been?
 
No idea who we are going to watch together to make a frankenteam but I sure hope they will spare poor little Noah having to run them out again. That kid is already scarred for life.
