I like the look of Dave K's first thirteen , but would have Jack Brown in over Evans and be looking at playing the new hooker , who's name eludes me. He is still young and untried but he looked the part in his short maiden appearance and we do need to stop flogging Mint, in fairness to the player and for the good of the team. I am unsure about Trueman, but he's an upgrade on what Reynolds has brought and I hope we are scouring the NRL for players like Lovodua, there are some huge South Sea Island lads playing in NSW cup and there'll be some half backs good enough for SL, but probably 3rd or even 4th choice at their clubs who could come and do a job. We need a Motu type of scout over there, cos whoever thought Reynolds was a good option needs to be nowhere near player acquisitions again. (Tongue slightly in cheek).
That wouldn't be my team, I would have Brown or Fash at LF as I don't like Lane in the middle, think he is much better out wide.
Also agree, still time and Evans has done Ok, but you would have to have Fash or Brown in front of him.
French/New FB
Swift
Carlos
Wynne
Mcintosh
Connor
Trueman
Sao
Lovodua
Satae
Savelio
Ma'u
Fash
Houghton
Taylor
Brown
Griffin/Lane
Would be first choice if we can sign Truman and another fullback. Some good players left out including one of Lane/Griffin and Evans.
I don't think we are far off competing, two quick and creative players away from challenging IMO.
