Completely agree TDS has to be dropped, I could even see De belin at prop with walker at lock or even doorey starting. Samrani was great in trials so we should give him his hsot
Would Papali at 6 be any good? Samrani needs be in the side. Brown needs to be in the side. Definitely need some changes but wouldn't be surprised if there are no changes
Samrani to wing. I agree having Riley Smith and replacing him with TDS doesn't seem to help things. I'm also a little worried with the Moses/ Pezet combination. Both are good and dominent 7s but there seemed to be some confusion who was running the show. I'd give them 5 weeks and if they haven't clicked bring one of the young guns from NSW cup in at 5/8. Just my thoughts
Only thing is you don't want to bring those kids up to early, both need defensive work. Pezet at least can be placeholder for a few wins. Yoh can win games with Pezet.
I would not be surprised to see no changes other than Hopgood of course.
Samrani for Kelly I think is most likely if there is one.
Ryles will not drop Pezet anytime soon, but come round 10 or so if Twidle and or Lorenzo continue to improve they could come in. Issue is once Volkman is back Twidle goes back to 1, I wish he would stay in halves.
I have never been a fan of 2 Hooker system, unless your starting Hooker can play in middle, like Riddell and Marsh could do. Smith can play big minutes and have Papali'i fill in for 10-15 while being there as a Utility works fine. You can still have Da Silva at 19 as worst case scenario Smith goes down early.
But the team will be the same with maybe Samrani on Wing and Tuilagi for Hopgood.
"Where is your never ending, long winded commentary about how right you are and everyone else who thinks differently to you is a non contributor getting anyone?
Whilst I use terms you may not use (look up the board bios) you assume things I never…"
"It gives the refs to chnage the momentum of the game and put on fatigue to a team that they don"t like say . . . Parra.
With the way the Hopgood charge been made, it just shows the corruption and unfairness to other teams."

We waste 2 interchanges on the Smith and Da Silva rotation, thats a waste if you ask me.
I am not sure if Kit Kat is an edge second rower. His lateral movement is rubbish.
