After today I'm going with.
1. DWZ (right centre inside opp 20)
2. Meaney (if he's ready)
3. Hopoate (fullback inside the opp 20)
4. Averillo
5. Smith
6. Wakeham (left edge)
7. Cogger (right edge)
8. Napa
9. Katoa (not a fan at all but is all we have ATM)
10. To'Omaga
11. CHN
12. Stimson (needs a rocket)
13. Jackson (C)

14. Elliot or Lewis (don't care as both gone when JMK is back)
15. Britt (been great so far)
16. Tolman (last legs, last year good riddance)
17. Ogden
I like this but I'd go a step further and say this looks the best all round fit we have ATM.

1. Hopoate
2. Smith
3. Averillo
4. Harper
5. DWZ

If DWZ hasn't made any major improvments to his ball skills then we really are in trouble. That pass that Hoppa threw for the try against Raiders is something that DWZ just isn't going to deliver unless things have changed during preseason.

100% and I don't see it happening to be honest. I still hold some hope that Meaney could do something at 1 so I reckon give him some time there in Canterbury Cup.

RFM unlikely to be available.
He was looking at an 8-10 week recovery and that was only about 4 weeks ago.
Unless there’s an update I’ve missed?

Didn’t say it was our best team,just what I think coach will do for first round.I don’t think he will take any body untried until things become desperate.

Fair call, you want to hope he bites the bullet an starts Wakeham.

Get a sense of déjà vu starting Smith at centre.If it turns to shit after 3 or 4 rounds then a reshuffle has to happen the same as last year and cohesion is lost and is very hard to get again when your into the season.Hope I’m wrong and he brains it but then the halves may need tweaking etc etc.

He seems to be playing on the wrong side of the field (carrying right, fends left) which is stacking chips against him.

He was doing a field session up at Port on Wednesday so I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays CCup in round 1.

He looks in good knick, hopefully stays injury free for the rest of the year. He was among our best in 2018 before this run of injuries has stifled him.

Further down I saw it wasn't your team but rather the team you thought would be picked. My comment was posted before I read your reply to Scoobs. All good.
