So, with players coming back, I recon players who have been playing injured like Paulo and Walker will be given a break.
I think Fox has overcome what was giving him problems earlier.
With Edwards, i wonder if Walker is ok to have a week or so longer off. As to why i mentioned about Barnett with older players, not all but a few need management and it means missing time.
OK, then I guess projected round 13 team:
Iongi
Kelly, Samrani, Russell, JAC
Talataina, Pezet
Moretti, Smith, De Belin
Tuilagi, Edwards, Kautoga
BENCH: Da Silva, Tuivati, Williams, Mataele, Papalii, Brown
Or something like that. I would change the following:
Nanva for Kelly.
Maybe Teancum over Mataele or Tuivati if latter is unfit.
I want Guymer and Pryke back in Cup for game time and to work on somethings.
Think Williams will start at Prop with Tuilagi and Kautoga on the edge.
So Edwards on bench? Or not in 18.
I'd be surprised if Volkman was dropped for Pezet.
Mitch will back up and Walker will be on the bench
Thank god for the Dragons doing the hard work to save us from the spoon this year. We owe them big time!
Titans not far behind.
Credit to Paulo for waiting weeks until the bye round to have his surgery
Knowing that it's almost impossible for us to get the spoon, I don't really mind this because it gives Tuivaiti and Brown an extended period for more game time
