The Bench

As the 2021 season draws closer (can't freakin wait) I believe our bench (if all players stay fit) will be the strongest it's been in 10yrs, will that relate to a GF appearance? Time will tell I suppose.

Whats your bench look like? 
Here's mine.... and remembering if all players are fit and are playing to their potential.

14 Roache

15 Cartwright 

16 Papali'i 

17 Hipgrave / Kaufusi 

18 Marata

  • I would start Papali'i at second row and put Lane on the bench. Have Roache, Cartwright and Marata on the bench as well. 

  • My bench for 2021 is:

    14. Lussick

    15. Nikoure

    16. Papali'i

    17. Hipgrave

    18. Kaufusi

  • 14. Cartwright

    15. Niukore

    16. Papail'i 

    17. Hipgrave

    • Where’s will ?

      • theres a way

  • Round 1

     

    14: N Roach

    15: I Papali

    16: O Kaufusi 

    17: K Hipgrave 

     

    round 2

     

    14: N Roach

    15: I Papali

    16: O Kaufusi 

    17: M Nuikore

     

    with the speed of the game, we definitely need some one who can come on and play at dummy half, R Mahoney last year looked a bit flat at the back end of games, B Cartwright needs to start in NSW cup to prove himself. Our depth looks a bit better this year, with some good youth coming through 

  • How many trial games do we have this year?

    I can only find Panthers listed.

    • We play Dragons as well 

      • Thanks Sneaky.

        I would expect to see the usual merry go round of up to 40 players getting a bit of a run.
