Topine will hopefully play a role at some stage this season, but I think Baz would have Katoa ahead of Topine as a bench option at this stage for his utility value.Hoping Topine kills it for the Maoris, I think he can definitely sneak into the side for Round 1 on the bench. He looks like the type of bloke you could chuck at centre or hooker if there are any injuries which means we dont have to carry Katoa.
8 Hetherington
9 JMK
10 Napa (drops to bench when Thompson returns with Ogden or Atoni making way)
11 Jacko
12 RFM
13 Elliott
14 Waddell/Doorey
15 Atoni
16 Ogden
17 Topine
If Elliott is out of the team for Round 1, then Waddell or Doorey might start on an edge with Jackson moved to lock. Stimson could also be a bench option for Round 1..
