Good team. Marata had a blinder on the edge last week so don’t mind him staying there.

Interesting to see capes at captain over Egan. Where traditionally he would be, as he used to be the vice. But I'm not against it nor do I think it's a slight at him. Capes has just stepped up massively this year, and probably deserves it.

 

[Sammyw]

pretty happy with that lineup tbh.. this week i actually hope it runs out as listed 1-17... dont rush Ali back, pompey and capes doing a wonderful job plus undercooked against timoko/Kris is a disaster waiting to happen., bunty to cop the early heat works too, he is built for it.

Great move by Webby to make Capes Captain. Counters the disappointment from Origin selection and I bet he’ll want to prove to the selectors that he’s still got it.

Damn was keen to see mgt, and Capewell back at second rower

Yeah I think MGT would be a beast pick. But I think Webby wasn't going to pick one too many youngsters. Need experience to balance them out.

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

Pompey could play himself into a Kiwis jersey here….. Up against Timoko and Kris.

Our middles need to try and match theirs. It’ll be tough against Tapine and an angry Horsbourgh. Not to mention Papa.

The left edge of CHT-Halasima-Pompey-RTS will be the key to victory against the fairly soft edge of Timoko and Savage.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

I don't mind that lineup.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Well that's that. Changes will happen but we are the Warriors percent!!!

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Still like to see Healey get another run. He seems pretty explosive around big, tired forwards.

That's a good shout

 

[Canonball]

You'd think if Ali is good to go they'll swap him in, so apart from the obvious this is very close to our first choice:

CNK
DWZ
Pompey
Ali
RTS
CHT
LM
Niukore
Egan
Afoa
Leka
Capewell
Clark

Ford
Laban
Vaimauga
and ?

 

[BlackToko88]

Id say if Ali is moving fine at training, fitness test etc he plays. But dont mind capewell at centers. Blokes been super solid for past 3 weeks.

I still get baffled with all these people on FB calling for Taine over Rog (even though Rog carried for 200+m). Him and charnze carrying first two hit ups sets a lot of us.

Dal should get better too. Overall nice team.

Will be a cracker
