  Probably needs Kautoga on edge and Kelma on pine but I love it

    Exactly my thoughts Eli. I honestly think Tualagi is better suited to the middle with his size and movement, having him on the bench gives us an option for both positions.

  I think that is pretty spot on, Kautoga for Tuilagi and either Guymer or Tuivaiti for Moretti. Tuilagi though seems to be odds on for a 17 spot based on his pre-season, so maybe the bench is Da Silva, Walker, Moretti, Tuilagi. That is not a bad bench.

    Taulagi is that strike edge you can play for 25/30 min. Jack can move into middle

  KitKat in 

  Tuilagi on the bench

  Backing up from reserve grade on the bench Papalii 18th and Talatiani 19th (just because he has been anointed as the pathway project player).

  Nil players from Storm as we grab our crotch and tell them to suck on that dickheads!
