[Inruin]

Hoping to see a three forward plus Healey bench named

 

[Damo]

Hoping to see a three forward plus Healey bench named

Yep. Would love Halasima to still be starting with Niukore on the bench. Unlikely though!

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Question...I know generally centres have a specific side of the field, is this the same for edge forwards or is it a bit easier for them to swap between left and right?

 

[snake77]

It will likely be a similar line up to the Storm game with Berry and CNK coming back in.

It would be nice to go back to the early season centre pairing of Pompey and Leiataua. Then reward Halasima with another start.

Have Halasima on the left and Leiataua on the right. Give us a threat on each side.

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

TSS debut, please!

[Wahs_Ultras]

Surely a late change to include Healey or TMM to replace Laban, especially after Webby's comments regarding Egan's minutes in his presser on Saturday.

 

[Wrighty]

Rocco and Ali on same edges as Storm game.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Leka, Vaimauga and Laban on the bench...we're in such an exciting part of the Wahs history I feel. The next 5 years are going to be a wild ride

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Great to see all four young bulls in the starting 17!

Happy the full spine is back again. Could see Laban doing some donkey work in the middle.

Can we win just one Anzac Game! Please!!!!!

 

[Inruin]

Surely a late change to include Healey or TMM to replace Laban, especially after Webby's comments regarding Egan's minutes in his presser on Saturday.

Hopefully Healey with TMM and Boyd playing cup.

 

[Inruin]

Rocco and Ali on same edges as Storm game.

At the beginning of the season I would have said a fit Berry is a lock in but forcing Ali and Pompey out of the positions they have looked good in for most of the games changes my view now

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

Surely a late change to include Healey or TMM to replace Laban, especially after Webby's comments regarding Egan's minutes in his presser on Saturday.

Or perhaps Healey to replace Bunty, leaving big Jacob and Demitric to do Bunty's role. Healey, Leka, Demi, big Jacob. Young and raw but full of potential.

 

[Bippidydoodah]

Still don't like Jackson Ford at starting prop, but he's been pretty decent so hopefully it works out for us again

 

[Piltdown Man]

Taine marking Marzhew… wtf?
Or is it Marzhew marking Taine…. Woohoo!!

 

[jumpman5xl]

My biggest fear with this team list is if that right side defence is anything like that Storm game, KP gonna have a field day

 

[SJ2k]

Berry doesn't deserve priority as a centre, so I don't rate that. Otherwise fine.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Taine marking Marzhew… wtf?
Or is it Marzhew marking Taine…. Woohoo!!

That is my concern also. Not sure if Rocco can help much when Marzhew is charging in close to the line lol

 

[John Nick]

Rocco won't be playing. Got a week is what I am hearing
