This is my new balanced team, something Kearney will never select.
- RTS
- Perham (can cover fullback, can learn first grade on the wing, brings speed and x factor)
- Hiku (right center)
- Beale (left center)
- Maumalo
- CHT (right edge)
- Green (left edge)
- Paasi
- Luke (needs to play big minutes, plus added kicking option)
- Satae (to start but will only play 15-20 mins)
- Pulu (back on left, need to get some punch on the edge)
- Harris (back on right to support Hiku and CHT)
- Papalii (invest in the future)
Bench
Lawton (can cover all back positions, impact out of dummy half, will sub on around 30 min mark)
Afoa (impact from the bench)
Ah Mau (impact from the bench, will play big minutes once on)
Burr (can spell Papalli or Pulu depending on fatigue)
Interchange template:
- Ah Mau for Satae (15 min)
- Afoa for Paasi (25 min)
- Lawton for Luke (30 min)
- Burr for Papalii or Pulu (50 min)
- Paasi for Afoa (55 min)
- Luke for Lawton (55 min)
- Fatigue sub (65 min)
- Injury sub (spare)
Dropped back to NSW cup all the errors, penalties and defensive mistakes in Kata, Blair and Tevaga
