Congrats Morgan Harper. Interested to see how Reimis handle centre.

I'm less worried about their outside backs and more concerned about limiting their go forward and offloads. The Broncos spine is pretty average, particularly their 6 & 7, so when they are attacking close to our line I don't expect them to throw too much at us. The problem is stopping the monsters they have in the middle and scrambling well when they inevitably make a great run leaving 3 or 4 defenders behind...

Boyd will have a blinder against us (not sure if serious or not). Struggled all season and found a bit of form recently.

Interesting backline selection by Pay... wonder if he is experimenting or if he thinks its the best...

Nethertheless, if it doens't work out in the game, the players can just reshuffle.

you would think that Okunbor and Harper would be on the same flank since they played there at C Cup.

Bit like junior coaches that play forwards as backs and backs as forwards for the last game of the season when there is zero chance of making finals...

Why bother with such a small bench when Cogger will get no minutes drop him and smith.
Ogden and Fualalo in its just to see if you where there at after being dropped for weeks

I'm keen to see Harper debut. Too bad it happened in the last game. That backline has everyone playing out of position which doesn't make sense.

I would have loved for Wakeham to come in to the team and at the very least Cogger should start for Lewis.

Surely you would reshuffle the backline to this:

1. Meaney
2. Okunbor
3. Hopoate
4. Harper
5. Smith

Play the fucking players in their proper positions.
I'd say it's because Hoppa would be better at setting our defence and talking out the back which has been a big difference with DWZ

For the people been calling for reimis at centre, are gonna see how far he is off being up to scratch to defend in the centres.

Reimis and Okunbor is a lot of height on the right side.
I look forward to seeing Reimis at centre, and having Okunbor outside of him. It will counteract corey Oates but time.

I agree, I'd rather that too. It's usually better to change 1 position then 2-3 others.
He is not changing 2 or 3 others. He is moving hoppa to fb where he is just as good, and replacing him with Harper. 1 change.

Will be suprised if the broncos don't put atleast 5 tries on us, we could score more than two here though..

Heard Hopoate (I was told ankle) is in slight doubt Tass will get a shot if ruled out with Tass and Harper in the centres Smith and Oknabur wingers and Meaney at the back told about 3pm this afternoon it will be interesting to see if it happens or not
