Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2805068, member: 8290"] 1. Boyd (c) 2. Oates 3. Kahu 4. Roberts 5. Mead 6. Milford 7. Hunt 8. Sims 9. McCullough 10. Blair 11. Thaiday 12. Gillett 13. McGuire 14. Marshall 15. Glenn 16. Pangai Jr 17. Fai This is the way I'm leaning for Round 1. Having Marshall on the bench ahead of another forward or Nikorima may raise some questions, but I'm quite comfortable with it, it enables us to bring him on at left centre, shift Kahu to left wing and have Oates play some minutes in the backrow. It also enables us to bring him on if Milford & Hunt are stagnating the attack, which they're known to do for large periods of a game, having an extra play maker on stand-by could be huge for a couple of reasons. A) It will send a rocket up their ass, if they don't do their job, Marshall will come on and help them do it & B) Injury cover if anyone from 1-7 gets injured, Benji could more or less fill in, whereas Nikorima has shown he struggles heavily at Centre & Wing defensively. This team would more or less be experimental, if Milford & Hunt round in to form quickly and Benji turns out to be surplus to needs, or just isn't up to it anymore, we send him to Redcliffe and bring in another forward or Nikorima, whatever seems to be necessary at the time. In regards to Ofahengaue, Ese'ese, Arrow & Su'A - I expect them all to be playing 80 minutes for their respective ISC teams and ready to play at a moments notice. Pangai Jr & Fai have been our best 2 forwards in the trial vs Sharks and the WCC, they've earned first shot imo. [/QUOTE]
