I'd give Luke a rest if he isn't 100%. His kicking and running game are what makes him so dangerous. Both are negated if he is carrying a serious leg injury. Last thing we need is for an aggravated injury to keep him out long term. I'd go for Boyd/TMM combo this week which has killed it in cup. CHT to play the utility role off the bench. Kosi in for DWZ. Bunty in for Niukore.

TBH TT looks the better utility bench option now after you see what happened when the back 3 go down, he can play back 3 easily, 6 and either practice as a hooker or move CHT, second rowers can cover centres

We kinda messed up by not just plug TMM on the wing, I think they jumbled him at 6 CHT centre and Moala or Pompey wing with Metcalf on one leg and lose big to a reserve grade side

Could be why Boyd was willing to take the line on in nsw cup knowing Metcalf is carrying a niggle. He got a nice try breaking straight through the line of two defenders

 

[Dannevegas]

I’d be bringing Tauapiki in at fullback for this one, Charnze to centre as they’re all out injured. Charnze can still do yardage work from centre we will miss his goal line d tho.
Ale, Boyd and Healy to be rewarded for cup form.
Capewell back to second row, Laban and Halasima to have a half each for maximum impact.

Kosi, Berry, Cape in, Boyd on the bench if Luke plays but might break down in heavy contacts, Ford to start, Laban if having a niggle plays 30min then Leka comes on with Demi

Webby had an interview with sport nation this week before the Panthers game saying that Berry is back within 2 weeks. So I think Berry is still a week away. So Capes probably goes to center. Also I like the second row pairing of Leka/Laban. Laban is starting to become a real threat on the edge.

 

[Noitall]

Berry and Tuaupiki supposedly available for this on returning round 17. Something seemed like broncos knew something about Capewell with Riki extremely confident to be lining up against him last time but we threw a spanner in the works and shifted him to centre and Halasima started for the first time

I don’t know man Riki looked soft from the limited game I watched today, Cape was smacking down Payne Haas in SOO

If Berry is available I think he likely comes back in, but Niukore a definite out. Perhaps Halasima or Capewell switches sides in second row?

Poor Ali looks like he’s trying to stop Monty from committing a murder

Riki’s the most over rated player in history. I’d choose our 2 starting cup back rowers over him easily

Meanwhile Awen in the process of committing one.

back in the good old days when we actually had a "monster" pack that beat the shit out of everyone.

Thought you reserved that accolade for Pompey?

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Assignment this week is simple: stop Haas. If we contain him like we did with AFB, we go a long way to winning the middle. He plays smaller minutes than AFB but his offloads are the basis of anything that Mam/Walsh/Reynolds create. You shut them down and Broncos attack is neutered. Sharks lost that game more than the Broncos won it.

 

[Dannevegas]

lol. Pompey tries I admit, he’s just slow asf. I have said if he was fast he could be a top class centre.
But how Riki gets picked for the kiwis is insane

Think something like this is most likely, Afoa and Ale started prop last week nsw cup so assume one of them will be called up, if afoa he should start if Ale off the bench and ford in
