General YOUR Team for 2026

Later in the season, no injuries, no future planning, full strength team to win one game

1. Tuaupiki
2. DWZ
3. CNK
4. Pompey
5. RTS
6. Metcalf
7. Tana Boyd
8. JFH
9. Egan
10. Barnett
11. Halasima (best players should get more minutes)
12. Capewell
13. Clark
14. Healey
15. Ford (can come on after 20 minutes and play out the game)
16. Demetric
17. Laban
18. Niukore
19. CHT (may be used ahead of Healey)

Just have more confidence in Taine and Laban than Berry and Leiataua. Leka is the outside back cover, CHT can also play centre

Very strong lineup. Without Ford starting there's likely to be a period of time where we're without any of JFH, Barnett or Clark on the park though. Ford starting avoids that situation

when you have the greatest prop of his generation, Jackson Ford, does it really matter who you put alongside him?

nah, in a must win game, there are 240 minutes in the middle, something like JFH 50, Barnett 55, Clark, 55, Ford 60, Demetric 20, tricky to shuffle them that perfectly though, also might want the big intensity of the experienced two at the start.

I'd start Ford to go 60 and Barney to sub Fish, Demi to sub Clark. I might start Cape and Laban and bring Leka on after 20min and also might reduce Cape's minutes ie Leka/Laban/Cape during the season as he's starting to tear muscles now, though Leka's a beast on the left so I don't know if Cape can shift to right edge when Laban's off.
