Using him purely as a tacklebot will sting our edge attack. FIFI and TPJ will be wrapped up well most of the game....Better hope Croft and Bird fire with turpin sniffing the good stuff.

I think he would be fine, Its not like we need him to play big minutes.
 
Here’s hoping we are up by 20 before JT2 runs rampant through the middle

Well Green has a big problem, if they dont open with JT2 they risk being busted early.....if he starts him - he risks him being tired and shut down...depends what Broncos team turns up

Does JT2 ever get tired against us? Depends on which tpj turns up

No doubt the Cows are saying the same things about TPJ, Fifita and Haas

Lets hope they do, because with a bench as shit as this, they are going to need to be roaring.

I think all 4 of these forwards will be roaring. I think we have the advantage in that department - game breakers that is. Yes, our bench is a worry but I feel it isn't fatal to our chances. What worries me is our marker and edge defence which was crap last year. I also expect them to target Arthars.

Our team knows exactly what they have to do. There can be no excuses for our defence. None at all.

They will get plenty of chances to put it to the test then, because the Cows are going to be prepared and fired up for this game being at their new home and will be getting plenty of attacking footy off the back of it. We need to do everything we can to keep them pinned in their own end until JT2 is gassed and our guys have ascendancy.

Agreed. Croft's kicking game needs to be absolutely spot on, same for Milf to a lesser extent, as does our kick chase. For mine the quality of our kick chase is critical.
 
1. Arthars
2. Oates
3. Boyd
4. Staggs
5. Isaako
6. Milford
7. Croft
8. Flegler
9. Turpin
10. Haas
11. Fifita
12. TPJ
13. Carrigan (c)

14. McCullough
15. Kennedy
16. Hopoate
17. Bullemor

Under the grim circumstances, I'd be going with this. The backline and spine are frankly ordinary as **** until proven otherwise, and of course that will be where most teams beat us. The front row, as depleted as it is, is still carrying the hopes of this side.

I never thought I'd say this, but seriously SOS to Glenn and Joe O.

I still don't think we can select Bullemor unless another forward was ruled out.

I’d still go Herbie over Isaako at wing tbh.

Damn, Isaako really has exhausted his faith hasn't he lol Even his goalkicking is overshadowed by his shortcomings.

Isn't Herbie a decent goal kicker? ... so, Isaako wouldn't really get that advantage over him
 
Didn’t kahu play fullback successfully for the cowboys? Until he got injured that is
