2024 Pacific Championship

[BroncsFan]

Don't think we have a pacific championships thread up yet, but Kiwis squad is below.

Riki the only bronco.... how did Willison not get picked though?

I know he's played for Cook Islands, but thought he was a Kiwi rep?

That's a team for the future in many ways, as is Australia's in some ways.

Broncos: Pat Carrigan
Bulldogs: Matt Burton
Cowboys: Reuben Cotter, Tom Dearden, Reece Robson
Dolphins: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow
Dragons: Ben Hunt, Zac Lomax
Eels: Mitch Moses
Knights: Bradman Best
Panthers: Dylan Edwards, Liam Martin, Lindsay Smith, Isaah Yeo (capt.)
Rabbitohs: Cam Murray
Roosters: Lindsay Collins, Angus Crichton
Sea Eagles: Tom Trbojevic
Storm: Harry Grant, Xavier Coates
Warriors: Mitch Barnett

I like the new look of the squad and bringing in new youth to look for the future. I'm definitely tipping in the Aussies for a big end of season bang for the pacific tests.

1. Iongi/Hopoate
2. Katoa
3. Koula
4. Suli
5. Alamoti
6. Lolohea
7. Katoa
8. Fonua-Blake
9. Luke
10. Paseka
11. Finefeuiaki
12. Olakau'atu
13. Taumalolo

14. Havili
15. Kaufusi
16. Koloamatangi
17. Katoa/Tupouniua

Their second row is stacked. Some guns there.

Lacking a bit in middle third, Kaufusi can play prop. You could also play Koloamatangi at lock.

That backline can do some damage if given opportunities.

I reckon Aus best side from that squad is:

1. Edwards
2. Lomax
3. Best
4. Hammer
5. Coates
6. Dearden
7. Moses
8. Collins
9. Grant
10. Cotter
11. Crichton
12. Martin
13. Yeo

14. Hunt
15. Carrigan
16. Smith
17. Murray

So happy to see so few Broncos in these squads. Really hoping for an interrupted pre-season for the bulk of our players

Though both the nz and Australia squads looked weaker than usual. Tonnes of injuries.
