Some saying Lane goes after a bad game to say the least, but I'm not sure ba will drop a starter.  

I like Smith off the bench who can cover a number of positions, also the quicker game suits his speed in the back half of matches.

Nikure definitely in the 17 as our power forward & never let's the team down off the bench. Hard decisions.

  • I’d say the same 13

    bench

    14.oregan 15.nuilkore 16.papali 17.stone

    • Solid,Stone adds starch in defense which will be important. 

  • 1. Gutherson

    2. Sivo

    3. Opacic

    4.Blake

    5.Fergo

    6.D.Brown

    7.Moses

    8.RCG

    9.Mahoney

    10.Paulo

    11.Lane

    12.Matterson

    13.N.Brown

    14.Papali'i

    15.Nikoure

    16.Hipgrave 

    17.Kaufusi

    Gone with no utility, think we need a big bench against melbourne

      • I was very tempted to put Papali'i in Lanes spot but I think impact is important off the bench

  • Drop Lane out of 17

  • BA will not drop a starter I don't think either. It will either be Smith or Hipgrave to make way for Marata.

  • tough one but Lane can't be dropped unless Papalii goes 11 thus losing impact off the bench.Best to wait til Cartright is available.i'll go with Kendozas bench.

    • Couldnt Hipgrave go 11 ?

    • Nikorie  is a good edge forward.  He was used as a middle forward  last year but came to the club as a young edge forward.  I reckon Nikorie  and Dylan Brown could form a lethal right side edge. Bye bye Lane. Reggies or bench for Lane hopefully 

  • I think either Hipgrave or Smith drops out. I think ba will leave Smith out. It's a tough decision.
