I can't see this being the side at kickoff. Watch for changes.

Joash is fast but he will get ragdolled all night

  Based on what? In all the games he played at 1 last year that didn't happen.

Williams isn't a prop, better suited to lock. Jnrs doesn't bend the line or make decent meters. How is it that a professional club has zero starting props ffs.

Mark o'neill is 💯 % a useless kent. No foresight, no negotiation nous, no idea

  I will say, one more injury in the forwards itself, we are cutting it fine. Heading into Brown, Latu, Funa-Iuta and Mataele territory. Not ideal using them due to desperation.
  
  That's not a thing that's resolved in a few weeks either it's for the season. So we must make at least one forward signing mid year to cover.

  100% it's time for fans to speak up, I've had enough already.
