Message: [QUOTE="big k, post: 2654407, member: 8268"] It's been a while since I posted over here, have to more often ( I'm Kiwi over at The Front Row forums ). I'm looking forward to round 1, yes Souths looked impressive against St Helens, but I think we have the right players to trouble and beat them. Plus lets be honest Souths looked no better in the WCC than the Roosters did last year who didn't exactly set the NRL on fire till mid season. But that aside and not counting on that happening we are still in with a chance. With Hunt and Milford we can play both sides of the ruck now, and both players are strong on both sides, which is a bonus, Glenn and Thaiday look like they are where they belong, out wide and running hard. Up the middle despite having the smaller pack we have the aggression to match it with the bigger packs, Wigan tried to bash us out of the game and we just kept coming at them and won up the middle easily. I only have one concern going into round 1, will or attack come together or will it take a few rounds to gel. I'm certainly not going to panic if it doesn't gel and we lose the game, because it will gel and when that happens we will show that we can now attack from anywhere, hopefully from round 1, but I'll take it in a few rounds or even half a dozen rounds, because when it happens all teams will fear us. My team for round 1 would be 1 - Kahu 2 - Oates 3 - Copely 4 - Hodges 5 - Vidot 6 - Milford 7 - Hunt 8 - McGuire 9 - McCullough 10 - Blair 11 - Glenn 12 - Thaiday 13 - Parker 14 - Nikorima 15 - Gavet 16 - Gillett 17 - Joe O Unfortunately I think Bennett will run with Dodds and Miranta over Joe O and Oates. Also I would like to see Nikorima come on in the last 15 minutes of the game, not to replace McCullough but to be given a license to thrill, to just do his thing and play whatever is in front of him, because while he filled in for McCullough well enough and will do against Souths, with a free run in the final 15 he could really catch some of the bigger Souths players out and put the hurt on. But in saying all that I wanted Bennett back so whatever he runs out there I will show faith in and not lay the boot in. [/QUOTE]
