Thought it was interesting that Matagi and Terepo are in the Wenty team as indicates the starting pack plan for the first few rounds: Mannah, Evans, Alvaro and Vave the props

Tried to post last night but kept on telling me that it was spam and a mod would need to approve it

  Wile, wasn’t there something last year from BA about him liking Terepo off the bench because it gave him a mix of props, with Terepo’s leg speed what BA liked? You’re probably right about the 4 props but I do wonder if BA might be getting some match fitness into Terepo?

  Terepo had his last chance when he dropped a shocker in our last semi lol

Also thought we bought Beau Henry - why isn’t he in there?

Salmon also not there?

Both trialing for 1st grade?

  Salmon is still in rehab

Agree

Balance is important- while I rate both Mannah and Alvaro, I did not like both on at the same time

Interesting to see what difference Evans makes to the pack

  I agree, thats y I think Evans will partner Mannah as the starting Props with Alvaro & either Terepo, Matagi or Vave on the bench. Still got nearly 4wks before BA shows his hand.

I suspect a few more middle forwards will drop down aswell. Both peni and matagi are the type who need a few kms under their belt before the season starts

No leleisiuao very interesting.

  Are you thinking Leleisiuao a chance for NRL? I would think Avaua and Hoffman would be the wingers and that maybe he is still behind Jennings or even Davis. At this stage he has no NRL experience. I don't think that he has even played ISP.
