  Ok it is a Saturday night and im bored. I'll have a turn, pick the team i would pick, nor that anyone cares. Hopgood suspended in mind too.

  1. Iongi

  2. Simonsson

  3. Penisini

  4. Russell

  5. Samrani

  6. Pezet (i just would not throw either Twidle or Talataina in now, particularly v Brisbane)

  7. Moses

  8. Williams

  9. Smith

  10. Paulo

  11. Tuilagi (though not great, he is physical)

  12. Kautoga

  13. De Belin

  14. Walker

  15. Tuivaiti

  16. Moretti

  17. Guymer

  18. Papali'i

  19. Da Silva

   

  I considered Kelly at 19, but also do not trust Papali'i at 9 for a long period of time if Smith went down.

  17. Latu if Ryles thinks he is ready
  18. Izack Tago if we get him
  19. Twidle

   

  I thought I posted this earlier including explanations but alas. 
  
  

  All the players who weren't to the standard must go immediately. TDS, Kelly, JDB.

  Pezet gets 35 minutes to hold onto his jersey otherwise he gets hooked for Twidle.

  Izack Tago is looking really likely as the trade for Lomax so needs a couple weeks coming off the bench.

  Guymer is the best option we have despite not being a great option. We need tackle making, line running 80 minutes edge forwards, don't push passes or get cute with it. 
  
  

  Williams, Doorey and Moretti play the fast paced explosive first contact style necessary to win games in the new era of first grade. Sworming defense and less wrestle. Big Sam and Junior will roll the Broncos middle with Walker after Haas comes off heaping pressure on Carrigan who will give away penalties and force passes/offloads.

  Maybe Latu ist quite ready but I really can't stand Kelma and he is the last thing we need right now. Who knows, maybe he will rise to the occasion.

  Id love us to get someone like Luron Patea as part of the Trade with Lomax/Tago and if we did I'd try turn him into an edge player.
