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

  • Marata misses out?Okay.If you are picking Kafusi and Hipgrave over Marata then ,No we ain't making the GF.   14.Roach

                   15.Marata

                   16.Lane

                    17 Papalii 

    • 3/4 ain't bad lol, who takes Lanes spot in the 13?

      • Cartright to second row. Lane was benched last year and I thought he was good off the bench. A lot depends on Cartright returning to form but if he does he needs to be out there .If there is going to be a 14 to cover Reed then we don't need Cartright as impact we need another bigger body on the bench,so Lane,Hollis or Hughes.Lane has a good offload and is deadly close to the line,however lacks the leg speed or angles to capitalise on DBrowns short balls into space.

    • With you eggy, can't see Marata not getting a slot.

      Not sure about Roache, I would lean more toward Lussick.

      Nuikore can play middle or edge - when Papali'i comes on Marata to edge.

      The best thing is we not only have strong options on the bench, but we have flexibility with those options.

    • Honestly marata hasn't done exactly anything really exciting.  Hipgraves was the best titan two years ago. Showed alot of promise before injuries. Could be anyone spot. 

  • 14 Niukore / Roache

    15 Kaufusi / Hughes

    16 Papali'i / Stone

    17 Cartwright / Hipgrave

    Should be able to make a bench outta them

  • Marata to start with yhe bench

    14. Either Roach or Lussick, I haven't seen either play

    15 Papali'i

    16 Lane

    17 Hipgrave

"JA is off to Hull so he won't be there for the reunion. There is no history other than the communication leading to his signature at Newcastle. It was on NRL 360 that Blake Green's vision for the attack is what excited Brown."
