Hope it's Harper.. perfect game for him to get a run.

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

I can see 2 possibilities:

1. Meaney
2. Crichton
3. Hoppa
4. Holland
5. Smith

or

1. Hoppa
2. Crichton
3. Harper
4. Holland
5. Smith

I’d be happy to see either combination.

happy for Okunbor to have a crack at centre as I think that is good compromise between back row and wing .. but he needs a few games in reggies first surely..

I doubt it'll be a promotion. Most likely:
Montoya in centres with Crichton & Smith on wings
OR
Smith in centres with Crichton & Montoya on wings
OR
Crichton and Holland in centres with Montoya and Smith on wings (to combat the taller stronger Warriors wingers and avoid getting out contested in the air).

1. Hoppa
2. Montoya
3. Crichton
4. Holland
5. Smith

Meaney on the wing and Smith to center ? No idea really just a guess

 

[Raysie]

I was thinking JMK or CHN in the centres, but it's obviously not that.

Probably Meaney getting first crack at Fullback or on the Wing.

 

[Moedogg]

Hoppa to wing and Meaney to FB? Then change during attack and defending.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Montoya centre.

 

[El Padrino]

Am I missing something?

I thought they all have curved balls....

 

[cyborg66]

drop tolman and we win!!!

 

[Scoooby]

Good question.. if they may be one? I am going to say jmk to centre, and maybe Meaney to fb or Wing .!!

Probably neither of the two but hey That’s just my two cents lol.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Well ............. I don't think Meaney at fullback and Hopoate as left centre would be a curve ball. As a result that confirms my belief that Hopoate will be playing at fullback with the curve ball being who is playing in the left (Holland being on the right) centre role.

With Kata confirmed as playing right centre for the Warriors, it would be throwing Harper in the deep end marking him. Especially with Fusitu'a on the right wing and Tuivasa-Sheck who likes to lurk on that side. With the shorter/lighter Crichton on the wing I'm thinking we need a hard nosed defensive centre with some size. Montoya maybe, or more likely CHN. That's my guesses.

Is Olive in contention? lol

 

[Bulldogz82]

States "Bulldogs centre" on the screen.
Could this be a indication hoppa will be playing centre this year or just a stuff up.

 

[CroydonDog]

Who is Chris Kennedy?

 

[Raysie]

Is Olive in contention? lol

Bloody hope not!

 

[Raysie]

NRL very rarely get things right. I'm surprised they didn't title him as Sea Eagles Prop.
