Webb is out for the pre-season games isn't he?

I wouldn't play Price and Wiki for too long. We don't need them injured or suspended for the start of the season.

Stick Byrne at fullback perhaps and bring Martin into the centres.

 

[2big2strong_old]

I wouldn't be using any players from the tri-nations, not in the first trial, i think we should get some football under the belts of those that didn't go and the rookies, my team

1. Todd Byrne
2. Cooper Vuna
3. Jerome Ropati
4. Tony Martin
5. one of the rookie backs ie. filipo, ah vahn, godfrey.
6. Sione Faumuina
7. Nathan Fien
8. George Tuakura
9. Lance Hohaia (cause he was injured in trinations)
10. Richard Villasanti
11. Michael Luck
12. Wairangi Koopu
13. Awen Guttenbiel

What i find interesting is that you have been screaming for Hohia at 7 rather than 9. Why the change now?

 

[KeepingTheFaith_old]

Didn't the Raiders name 22 players? Are there going to be 9 man benches? If so then pretty much everyone bar 3 of the top 25 contracted players will get a run. Take our top 25 and minus Fai, Mannering and Gatis who are injured. Webb probably won't play either so someone else will come in.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow. Finally some league to talk about. woooooooohhhhooooooo!!!

 

[Swanley_old]

I agree with keepingthefaith.

They will use as many players as possible.

I thoughtt Ivan has stated that the first 2 games are for everyone to get a go, then the last would he would like to field a full strength team ?

 

[Skinny_Ravs82]

It's the best time to find out. Use the two games well. Try things and then make your decision. Although it seems he already knows who goes where already.

Price, Wiki and Webb won't be playing in the Canberra game. Ivan announced the team yesterday at the breakfast.
