This is probably close as possible , I would use 14-15-16 first if no injuries and hold out using the others until later in the game when we start to run out of legs

Bringing Bunty into the mix against his old club.

Id happily take the loss and lessons by giving Madden and Andrews a crack instead of playing some make shift halves.

I want to give us a chance but it could be a really long night unfortunately. Our discipline will be the difference between a 40+ point loss or 13+.

Tanah Boyd is humming due to the warriors having the most dominant pack in the comp atm. Only way to nullify his game is to match the warriors pack for as long as possible, but there bench is absolutely stacked, so there middle domination dosen't stop when Fish and Ford come off.
 
A couple of personal observations. I think if Luai plays, it will definitely be at 6 with Madden at 7. Imo,if he doesn't play,the 6 options are Mason, Andrews, Bula and maybe Fainu (. If fit).
If they did decide to gamble on Bula at 6 then Mason may go to full back, .if not then Mason may go to 6 and Bula stays at FB.
Just my thoughts.

Like that
 
I despise the Warriors and before yesterday & the halves injuries, I was quietly confident of an upset...but now, if I'm being honest, I fear the fifty put on against us 😫 I will NEVER hear the end of it if that happens 😭

they have been averaging 40 pts a game this year and only 12 pts against. We'll be lucky to get out of this with anything less than a 20 pt loss.

I reckon you've nailed it Mtd.

I don't think Benji will channel any inner Sheenius and move Api out of position. Those moves rarely end well.

Madden is a given & Javon has the combo with him from the pre-season and a successful one at that. By the sounds of Benji's caution around Latu, I think he will be eased back and I reckon will come on for the last 30 minutes.

I don't think he'll tinker with his starting pack so I'd expect Pole still to start but Bunty to be a bench option (maybe used instead of Seyfarth this week).

I agree, I think Bunty should be there, probably for Seyfarth. I really like Sioni Fainu's work at the moment. He's been outstanding. Royce Hunt has been good too but does anyone else think that Terrell May's form has been disappointing? Too many sideways runs and slow play the balls near the opposition try line that jolt the team's momentum.

Mine is very close to that. Im switching Skelton and Turuva. Skelton cant wild a kick if his life defended in it.
Also, no way im dropping Sione. Id drop Pole, Hunt or Seyfarth for Bunty

yeah I'm beginning to wonder if that back injury and the infection has stuttered his start this season...hopefully he'll get back to his best as the season rolls on.

6. Latu Fainu (If ready, if not Andrews)

10. Pole

14. Charlie Murray
15. Sione Fainu
16. Bunty Afoa
17. Royce Hunt
18. Alex Seyfarth
19. Javon Andrews

I think Charlie Murray deserves a chance as bench forward and back up hooker. I'd also give Latu Fainu a free rein in attack as a foil for the steady Madden.

Benji moved api to the halves against Manly at brookvale for half a game when luai was ruled out before the match. We didnt have the same depth last year though.
