Don't think Marata has ever played left edge under Webster hence why Leka went 80. Laban seemed like the safety net if Niukore got a HIA or ran out of puff
Noticeable with TMM in cup that he plays very wide as a 6, almost a short centre game and has exploited plenty of gaps there. Only cup for sure but the guy is a true ball player. Go back and have a look at some of his games at fullback with the Bronx. The wider the better in my view. D can be compensated for.
The cards have now fallen Ali's way now, he's paid to be a first grade centre, they should play him there. Backs the same otherwise.
11 Halasima - he does not look tired, if he has a flat patch, just have the whole week off and replace him with Laban
12 Capewell - career resurgence, keep riding him - both edges to play 80 minutes.
14 TMM - may not be required, but covers the whole backline and could squeeze 10 minutes at lock if chasing the game.
15 Niukore - mostly middle, maybe some edge if injury
16 Vaimauga
17 Healey - give it a go webby
240 minutes in the middle is very doable between 5 players, 48 minutes each, hard to time your interchange and get it that equal, but ford and clark can do 60 which gives you plenty of leeway.
I don’t know how long Webby can keep Healy out his stats from cup on the weekend were very impressive. 80mins, 44 tackles, 11 runs for 139m for a hooker. The most in the team.
Great effort.
Other slighter players I can think of who play in high contact areas
Max Plath - 87 kgs Lock
Danny Levi 89 Kgs hooker
Blake Mozer 85 kgs hooker
Blayke Brailey 86 kgs hooker
Quite bemusing that they are thinking of giving the job to the attack coach. Attack is the reason why they are in the spoon bowl. I would have thought you give it to the defense coach. At least he knows what he's doing.

Could be another Issac Moses master class? Both Brad Arthurs boys are there now, could be an option? Seen Josh Hannay’s name mentioned to but he’s been mentioned at titans too
Hard to say what the impact is going to be. Either way, It's going to be a tough game. They really did give the Raiders a scare a few weeks back and were the better team against Melbourne for 35 minutes. No Kalyn/Fletcher Sharpe but I'm guessing they'll field a stronger pack than the last time we played them in CChurch. Can't take them lightly.

It's not an old chestnut, it's common sense. He's a smaller, slower player, defensively not the best already and centre is one of the most difficult positions to defend at.
Defending ~20 minutes in the middle is incomparable to defending at centre.
TMM has a footy brain, whuch has often been a Warriirs weakness. He is also a capavle defender if KM was. Half I would go for TMM but with TB running straight and deep I wiukd go for Capewell vut upsides both ways.

I would have laban as the start for capewell if we do this, just think a like for like second rower, leka to start when Marata moves into the front row
