I honestly think we should have our rd 1 lineup play against the sharks.

Waste of a trial if we don't tbh
In his interview tb said he was playing his top17

i'd have:

1. Dufty
2. Fox
3. Naden
4. Schoupp
5. Casey
6. Burton
7. BBO
8. Vaughan
9. Cook
10. Thommo
11. TPJ
12. Hetherington
13. Jackson

14. JMK
15. King
16. Ava
17. Patolo

18. Toia
19. Alamoti
20. Averillo
21. Topine
22. Doyle
23. Tuifua
24. Makatoa
25. Stuckey
26. Wakeham
27. Hoffman
28. Lumelume (if available)

Start with the first grade team with BBO at 7 and Cook at 9 and use JMK as utility for both off the bench. After last nights halves performance, couldn't hurt to try JMK there. Cook was good at 9 and i'd have him over JMK anyway. Use the interchange forwards as normal and then last 20 or so of the game start bringing on some of the reggies listed 18-28. No Okundud, no Flanno. If Burns is available move him into the starting centre role and Naden to wing

Okunbor is a wasted spot. We've seen enough of him to know that he can't catch a football, one game won't change that.
Im 1 of his biggest fans but I'm starting to agree with you. He obviously doesn't do it at training

I think they really wanted Oko to work out on the right to provide an aerial threat, but from that trial he is just too much of a liability, looks completely out of position on the right. I therefore think Naden has to play right wing/or centre as the next best option at 1.90 cm plus, none of the other options have that sort of height. Schoup has played a lot of left centre to partner fox so that leaves Allan/Casey/Avo/Lumelume etc for the other right wing/centre spot. Will be interesting to see what happens on tlt, should give more of an idea.

I prefer Fox to be outside Naden, as much as I like Schoupp, he rarely passes the ball so Fox would ultimately be a waste..

The only reason Naden goes to Wing is if we have no option, but we have plenty to play around with having Burns, Toia, Lume and Allen - all can slot in at wing.

This is my starting 13

1. Dufty
2. Jac
3. Nadan
4. Schoupp
5. Casey
6. Burton
7. Averillo
8. Vaughan
9. JMK/cook
10. Thompson
11. TPJ
12. Hetherington
13. Jackson

Give ave a 20min stint and if he isn’t progressing move on to the next.

King should be on the bench round 1 if he can play the way he did against Newcastle.

Vaughan, tpj and Jackson need to pull there socks, our interchange forwards done a better job when they got on. It’s early days so hoping to see a big improvement against sharks.
I think Thompson needs to get a lot busier or he could find himself being replaced very quickly.

We could do worse than trying Creedence on the wing
