Both Tuivaiti and Tuilagi out, who replaces them?

What was our strongest part of our team is now getting slimmer. With Tuilagi and Tuivaiti out, who do we see coming in for the week?

More likely we see Williams stay in the middle and Guymer moves to an edge. Then the two bench spots for Tuivaiti and Guymer would more likely be taken up by de Belin and Brown. Not sure if someone like Jezaiah Funa-Iuta will be ready either.

So Russell for Nanva is one change. De Belin will get Tuivaiti's spot more likely. So who replaces Tuilagi?

  • Kelly will be out for Russell i hope.

    Brown in for Sam

    Luca into the top 17

    And another debutante on the bench

  • 8. DeBelin

    9. Smith

    10. Junior Pillow

    11. Williams 

    12 . Katonga ( who mind you had one of the worst effort games I've seen in a first grader his first stint today)

    13 . Walker 

    • How was Kautonga's effort in the first half when he just let Kini jog past him for a huge line break. Atrocious effort. 

      • Just like Paulo and Smith who didn't bother to join the kick chase lol

        • Smith has had a very odd start to the year. His chasing is nowhere near what it used to be.

          • I got no idea what's wrong with him. Maybe it's what JR has seen all along which is why he signed TDS. Has smith already reached his ceiling of being a pure effort player. His first contact is shit. First contact is more important than ever since you can't wrestle in the ruck

      • Absolutely woeful. If you isolated he and Kelmas efforts today it would be a shocking watch . I haven't seen anything like it before. I've seen teams outclassed and guys take short cuts but some of that stuff was fair dinkum not putting in. 
        On another note has Junior Pillow put his shoulder into a tackle all season ? What's doing there ? Thought he was pretty good last year and had a great Pac champs .. he has played soft as. No physicality or want to lead the pack at all . 

        • Look at the line speed at the start of the game. Junior was constantly left behind because he is too slow and big for the modern game 

        • I thoughts Kelma efforts today was not that bad

      • That's why he got hooked. Then comes back on and was not too bad. But why does it take for him to get hooked to start doing his job.
