What's your team at this point?

 

[Defence]

Cnk
Dwz
Berry
Rts
Montoya
Metcalf
Sj

Afb
Egan
Afoa
Niukore
Ford
Harris

Cht
Walker
Barnett
Ale

Tough choice between metcalf and tmm and hard to leave jazz out but just can’t see where he fits.
Hopefully sign a starting prop to replace Afoa.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

CNK
DWZ
Berry
RTS
Kosi, Montoya or Pompey
TMM
SJ
AFB
Egan
Barnett
Ford
Niukore
Tohu or Ale or CHT or Jazz in that order

Walker
Ale
Bunty
CHT

Jazz or Lussick or Volkman or Tuaupiki 18th man variations.

Bring on the young blokes too.

 

[BabylonPink]

Still might be movement in the roster I think.....

Big questions about who fills the other centre spot, Berry, Adam , Leitauia even Montoyas not rock solid in his wing spot.

Who partners SJ? My pick would be TMM or Chanel but Metcalf is a serious option.

2 bench spots free from Curran and Sirro leaving and TBF I don't think Webby has a lot of faith in Ale or Bunty. But they will play a role throughout the year.

Are we carrying lussick to cover manofglass Egan? Or is Chanel or Walker playing some 9? Just seems like a waste to carry CHT at 9 if he is only a backup.

Also wtf AFB. And we could do with a prop.

Neame (if the Barnett rumour is true)
Thompson

(assuming we lose AFB and Metcalf, and Cappy is the recruitment genius I think he is.)
I'm afraid we might also have to trade the Berrysiah to get all these guys.

 

[Billyspleen75]

Was there an interview somewhere where Roger confirmed which side of the field he would be playing?
Was it left centre?
If so, i think that gives Berry the edge over Pompey

He's the future for sure.

Have you heard something regarding Saifiti?

Is that confirmed? I have heard people say that RTS is playing left centre but I haven't been able to find an interview or a link for this?

The team you have listed is pretty much my thinking as well. Only things I have different is whether RTS plays left or right centre and whether there is a place on the bench for Jazz. I have TMM and CHT in the running for the 6 spot with Metcalf behind them. I also liked Afoa starting with Barnett coming off the bench - Hopefully we get a forward or two with some size to them as new signings to bolster that bench rotation.

 

[watcher]

ANybody in the know have anr insights to how ready any kf kur young guys are looking. I sullose pre season will tell a story.

 

[Damo]

Fixed! I had DWZ and Berry on the wrong side too.

Daniel or Jacob Saifiti?
