Damn that’s a strong pack.
Stace making sure they won’t get bullied up front.
Whyte, Clark and NAS off the bench are going to be a big problem for Toa.

If only Brandon Smith was in form to take that 14 jersey………
Strong wet weather team.
I’d be flabbergasted if this team guts out enthused on Sunday.
Kiwis comfortably.

Crossland was one of our best last year, he fits well into this squad.Would prefer Kini at 14. Crossland is pretty. I’d even pick TMM over him tbh
Agree he covers the halves and 9.
Playing middle for Newcastle as well.
A very handy player imo.
A little disappointed that we finally have a genuine 9 and we start Jazz over him.
But after seeing the Kiwis pack it might be the smart play to have Jazzs D in the middle.
Not sure why Taylan Mays not playing but Mariners been in great form albeit on the wing.
Going to be a good game.

Would think Terrell May starts at lock over Paulo as well. Much bigger motor on him and could probably do 80 minutes.A little disappointed that we finally have a genuine 9 and we start Jazz over him.

100% I’m hoping that’s some b grade mind game.
May can ball play, he did it at the Roosters very well.

Yeah he did play well but JMK is an 80min hooker, so would rather carry Kini of the bench for that added flare at the back end of the match against tiring defence.

Good point. Didn't think of that. Suppose he has more utility value than Kini though.
Looking at that Kiwi line up, if an outside back goes down (wing or centre), who covers?

Crossland halves. Brown centre, McLean wing.
Brown had much centre experience?
*Edit* seem to recall Ryles may have given Brown a game there this season......that'll work.

He played 3-4 games in the centres this year. Played ok.
