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.
Ryley looks injured. If he is give him a spell. Tds is the only other option. Pezet is too slow and a deadset liability in defence which made Kelly look worse than what he is. Should never have been brought here. Papa was improving week on week. can't understand why kit kat is getting hammered on here was our only attacking threat in the forwards.
Few things.
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.
Guymer has to be 13 he doesn't miss a tackle and Moretti on the bench plus Samani to the wing Russell to centre
Guymer is a younger version of what de Belin is here for. Cleaning up the middle with 2nd and 3rd man in attempts, get through work and do your share in attack. Guymer can definately do that.

I love Twidle, you can just tell he is not a robotic NRL player, he plays with instincts. Not saying he is Munster, but Munster plays the same. Apa gets the ball, looks to see what is infront of him and says "Let's try this". That can be dangerous but also rewarding when you have a player like Twidle who looks confident in himself.
Twiddle had 3 try assists in the halves, he is similar to a young Munster, I think he should make a debut this year at some stage, even off the bench. Lorenzo played very good also
