Hopefully Foran will be able to see the full 80 minutes. However if he still has a slight hamstring strain, the it concerns me that we may have to include either,Cornish,Kelly or De Gois on the bench to cover for him.
That would only leave place for 3 other forwards on the bench and with reduced number of interchange then it is a careful consideration who we put on the bench.
My forwards would be Scott, Manu, Moraeu,Paulo,Peats and Mannah. My reserves would be Kelly,Edwards,Wicks and Terepo.
What do you think?

We have a couple of back rowers who could step in and play first receiver on the right if Foran went down during a game (same goes for Norman). The biggest issue would be that we were left with only one kicker, meaning there would be huge pressure on the remaining half as the sole kicker on the field. I guess Gordon can probably kick in general play as well, since he kicks goals.

I don't think it'd happen but I'd be going with a 4 forward bench for Round 1. Edwards, Terepo, Alvaro, Gower. That allows you to have either Edwards or Gower playing in the halves if something were to happen.
If we were looking at a half for potential cover for Foran surely it'd be Cornish who has played off the bench as a replacement half/hooker for Canberra a few times.
If Foran gets injured during a game there's a good chance Kelly will be named at 7 the following week.
That experiment should never be tried again.
I think French played in the halves in lower grades. Might also be in top 25 as trains with NRL squad.
Kicking a ball with both feet? That would look a bit silly Poppa.
