  Why is Pritchard in there, no need for another hooker champ, chuck in tanginoa or Edwards

  Teams who are consistently dominant are less likely to carry injuries.
  
  Pritchard has played only a handful of games these last few years due to injury, he wouldn't be at my club let alone in the team.

  The Pritchard idea is an interesting one and I'd experiment with it in the trials. 1) Peatsey is a gutsy defender that loves to play 80min - but he needs to be more of an attacking threat by running the ball more. Maybe giving him a spell will freshen him up to do that. 2) two less interchanges will mean opposition forwards are more tired - some fresh speed legs running at them maybe more effective than another big body.
  Edwards is a more than handy backup when the injuries come.

  Our hookers are two injury prone to start the season with only one. Maybe after a few games. The 13 pick themselves perhaps your bench might get tweeked.

  No Edwards, are you mad Efl. His another Ma'u only bigger and I wouldn't have Watmough and Scott in team at same time.

  I'd have Nelson before Pritchard or De Gois. You need a utility on the bench which neither Pritchard or De Gois cover. If Peats wants to play 80 min then Nelson can play backrow, otherwise is something happens to Peats Nelson can play dummy half.

  I'd also have Gower instead of Alvaro given Gower's experience & can back prop or backrow. Given Moeroa's increase in size I'd be looking at him playing more prop than backrow rotating him & Wicks with Mannah & Paulo.
