I think that team picks itself.

Webby just need to commit to TT over CNK. First selection headache in the coming weeks out of the way

Bench decisions:
- Niukore vs Gannon
- Ali vs AKP (I think Ali needs some run back in NSW cup to get some confidence/swagger back)

Ali keeps his spot because I think it’s bad juju making too many changes to a winning side and he’s improving.

Gannon was Cat 1 HIA

 

[Sammyw]

Douhei and Luai both out next weekend against us.. gotta keep taking advantage of these rubs of the green

Been blessed with injuries before our games. No changes give hanson another run

- Niukore vs Gannon

Ali come leaps an bounds since rooster, seems like webby has told him to just work on defence, 27 tackles and 1 miss is a good outing

Is that confirmed? They didn't look good but would be surprised if there was anything definite yet.

Benji said post match Luai needs scans but docs have already said he’s out for at least 4 weeks minimum. Said he hopes douehi isn’t out for long but needs scans. The way he was hobbling at the end id be shocked if he played Friday

Great he can do that but CNK needs to be somewhere. Right centre over Ali works

CNK takes back the FB spot

Taine got banged up today. Took a body slam and a head shot

I prefer he takes the week off to reset and recover

 

[Po11um]

Same team. Same result.

 

[juju]

Unbelievable how the cards are falling for us this year - two weeks in a role we face teams with crucial pieces missing.

and the ref's wrecking us.

No Luai/Douehi is massive for us. Looks like it’s going to be another humid/greasy track so I can see us having a field day targeting Skelton

 

[Playdaball]

Taine has to remain at fullback. He offers so much attaching flair and is defence is not too shabby either .
Barnett on the bench again and perhaps in future he comes in at second row ahead of Laban?

 

[WAH MAN]

TT will revert to the bench for CNK before Leiataua reverts to Cup for CNK to centre I reckon.

Tuaupiki could have some real joy coming on with impact against tiring defenders, trick would be how you design that?

 

[Est95]

I think we need both Taine and CNK. Taine is too good to leave out of the 13, adds a point of difference to our attack. CNK is a rock defensively and has the experience.

Taine 1, CNK 3

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Taine has to remain at fullback. He offers so much attaching flair and is defence is not too shabby either .

Got to admit i feared for him a bit when Marzhew got that cut out ball with space and a full head of steam up in our 20. I was resigned that he'd just carry Taine over the line or knock him out completely.....but the desperation we saw from our 2 smallest guys Taine and Tannah to put their bodies on the line and managed to put him to ground was pretty inspiring.
