With unforeseen injuries and departures over the off-season this is my best team for round 1.
REPEAT Round 1 only!
This team is designed to strengthen the outside backs, picked on form and availability.
REPEAT to strengthen the outside backs!
This team would hurt the egos of 3 players, I don’t need to say who.
1. Blake Taaffe - best fullback from the trials.
2. Connor Tracey
3. Bronson Xerri
4. Matt Burton
5. Stephen Crichton
6. Cassius Tia - on debut against Kyle Flanagan
7.
Toby Sexton
8. Max King
9. Reed Mahoney
10. Samuel Hughes
11. Viliame Kikau
12. Jacob Preston
13. Kurt Mann
14. Jack Todd - best trial form and foolish not to select him.
15. Jaeman Salmon
16. Bailey Hayward
17. Kurtis Morrin
I dare say CC will not roll with this team as he does not want to upset team morale, Shane Flanagan would but look what happened to him last year.
No right or wrong.
