Brad Arthur has announced we is going to put a full strength team for the trial...
Any thoughts as to what the 17 (or more) will look like
Here is my prediction
1. French
2. Au,vaa
3. Jennings
4. Hayne
5. Hoffman
6. Moses
7. Norman
8. Mannah
9. King
10. Evans
11. M,au
12. Moeroa
13. Brown
14. Takaraingi
15. Edwards
16. Alvaro,
17. Scott

King to play 80 or have Brown fill in at 9.
Also, BA did say a while back that Smith 'had to be in eh 17' or words to that effect and yet he isnt
Overall looks strong IMO
Id sub Taka for Smith.
This is just another fake team list
BA will name a 25 man squad as it is our first trial of the year, he'll want to give everyone a run
We defiantly need 2 mate I agree, we can't carry Scott, Edwards & Taka's all on the same bench. Even Taka's its either him or Will Smith for the utility.
I reckon that Moeroa will spend time in the middle once Edwards comes on. Both will play about 60 minutes,
Replace Taka with Vave and I like it
Mau can always go centre to free up Hayne if a back or half is injured
Edwards is also a utility and Brown can fill in for Hooker
I don’t like utilities just for the sake of maybe an injury
- you weaken the side for 10 games to strengthen it for one game
The wing positions are going to be different I think
Taka over Smith for that reason. As a mobile ball playing back rower on the edge. Big, decent defence, can cover many positions as a utility.
Although in saying that Terepo would go well in place of Taka, but I reckon we have many forwards capable of playing decent minutes. Maybe Will Smith is a better utility?
