Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2722006, member: 1899"] [B]Tigers Likely 9[/B] Simona, Naiqama, Lawrence, Drinkwater, Sue, Cherrington, Griffen, Chee-Kam, Liolevave The Tigers have opted to rest a lot of their big guns, giving their depth a chance to impress. They have a few exciting players on show in Simona, Cherrington and Chee-Kam but for the most part they look awfully green and to be just making up the numbers. [B]Raiders Likely 9[/B] Jarrod Croker, Waqa, B. Lee, Williams, Boyd, Baptiste, Vaughan, Jason Croker, Kennedy It's a solid side from the Raiders. I really liked what I saw of Sisa Waqa last year, the tournament seemed to compliment his athletic prowess on the field. I think they've got a few players who can cause headaches and may even qualify for the finals, but beyond that I find it difficult to envision this side taking it. There's better cores out there and the backline and backrow leaves something to be desired. If they're going to trouble, it will be through Boyd and Vaughan's second phase through the middle. They hold the key for mine and even so, should only take them so far. [B]Titans Likely 9[/B] Zillman, Mead, McDonald, Roberts, James, Srama, Peteru, Bird, McQueen That's probably the best 9s squad Henry can put together with exciting young prospects like Taylor, B. Kelly and Leleisiuao among others. I can easily see them making the finals where from there it's anybody's guess. One of the biggest surprises was seeing Shannon Walker's name there. For those who don't recall, Walker was considered the next big whiz kid who absolutely blitzed the 2008 Queensland Cup before disappearing into the ether. The stage is set for a surprise comeback and if he can find his best form, the Titans will surprise a lot of people in Auckland. [/QUOTE]
