Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 2993209, member: 8190"] I think easing Pangai back in is key for the first month or so of the season. Gives us some bench impact and experience (despite it being fairly limited as well) 1. Boyd (so long as he’s 100%, pulls his finger out and doesn’t defend in the line all the time) 2. Oates 4. Bird 3. Jet (he always gets named at 3 right?) 5. Isaako 6. Milford 7. Niko/SoS 8. Lodge 9. Macca 10. Mago 11. Su’A 12. Gillett 13. Joe O 14. Glenn/Staggs/Niko 15. Pangai Jr 16. Fifita 17. Haas There’s something about Mago I like. At the very least he’ll be a good stop-gap until the kids are ready to start. Alternatively if we do start Pangai, Joe to 10, Pangai 13, Mago bench. The 14 will depend on if Niko plays half or not. If he doesn’t, I still think bench hooker is his best position. The second row bench spot is tricky, as if the team is as above with Niko at 14, you’ve got 3 guys battling for one spot, unless you push Pangai/Offa to prop etc. I’m not his biggest fan, but this is why I’d have preferred for Glenn to leave rather than see him get dropped, Staggs is good for another year or so of cameos but I’m not against him playing constantly either, and the way Fifita came in and played it’s nearly impossible to leave him out. But they may suffer from a bit of S-Y-S so a rotation may be good for all We’ve got Carrigan ready to go too, but it’s the same deal - despite his impressive resumé he still hasn’t played FG yet, so it’s Haas, Patty or Flegler too that are all brand new basically. Rotation there too if nothing else People are saying Tagataese, but I just honestly cannot see what positive he can bring to that side. Experience sure, but I highly doubt he’d be able to show that being beneficial over the raw talent of the kids in the short time he’d be on the field. He’s never struck me as a player to have in a crucial period compared to a rookie [/QUOTE]
