Round 1 hooker ? Halves? Backline? Forwards ?

[King Salvo]

We lacked spark in attack and really need exceptional talents to be playing like Walker, Kerry and Suuali, Tedesco, who can create line breaks from nothing. We’ve got the forwards to hold our own but I’ve yet to see our attack as impressive as our defence was yesterday which I thought was exceptional. Also penalties are going to make us struggle again this year. We need to be more professional in this regard.

The areas they need to focus on no matter who is playing are

High Set Completions and Ball Control
Kicking game
Minimise Penalties and Errors
Defence including minimising the other teams offloads

The rest will fall into place if they do these well week in week out

I’d like to see Tuku play over Baker.

There I said it.

Agreed !

[DP1990]

My predicted round 1 line-up

1. James Tedesco (C)
2. Daniel Tupou
3. Adam Keighran
4. Joseph Manu
5. Paul Momirovski
6. Luke Keary (VC)
7. Sam Walker
8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (VC)
9. Connor Watson
10. Sio Siua Taukeiaho
11. Angus Crichton
12. Sitili Tupouniua
13. Victor Radley

14. Lachlan Lam
15. Lindsay Collins
16. Nat Butcher
17. Renouf Atoni or Naufahu Whyte or Daniel Suluka-Fifita or Fletcher Baker



Note: I don't think Joseph Suaalii will be ready for round 1. Not sure on whether Billy Smith is fit and ready to play either otherwise he would've been considered as an option to slot into the back line as well.

Watson maybe in some doubt - has a few niggles I hear- Keary more likely round 2

If Keary, Verrills, B Smith, Suaalii, Watson, N Butcher & E Butcher are unavailable then I think your 1 to 17 is very close but I dont know if they will be in those positions.
I think Keighran will play centre & kick the goals, Manu to 5/8 even though I dont like Joey at 5/8, Hutch to the bench, Baker to replace N Butcher.
7 players possibly out for Rd 1, bloody hell.

Ta buddy I did, pinged the lids and won with a leg in the air.
