PRE-GAME Round 1 - Roosters v Broncos

1. Walsh
2. Cobbo
3. Staggs
4. Mariner
5. Arthars
6. Hunt
7. Reynolds
8. Carrigan
9. Paix
10. Haas
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Hetherington

14. Madden
15. Willison
16. BTK
17. Jetski
 
You can't go Shibasaki over Mariner, surely. Mariner looks like he's levelled up and Shibasaki just doesn't have anything remotely good enough to be picked ahead of him.
 
What I think will happen:

1. Walsh
2. Cobbo
3. Staggs(if not injured)
4. Mariner
5. Arthars
6. Hunt
7. Reynolds
8. Carrigan
9. Piax
10. Haas
11. Gosiewski
12. Riki
13. Hethrington

14. Walters
15. Jensen
16. Willison
17. Piakura

I think even though Piakura did well he will commit to him as a bench 2nd rower for impact, going for a more safe team to start the season.

I'd like this, but I wouldn't be shocked at all to see Billy at 14.

Only other change I could see is Jetski starting and Piaks off the bench. Jetski to take the early stint and brunt of defence.
 
Mariner over Shiba but I’m in the Gosiewski over Piakura boat for now. Thought he had a good game. Can drive that home even more for a bit. Think Piakura has struggled at any stage to prove he is a big minute second rower in the NRL. Gosiewski has shown he has enough for nothing to go wrong with him at second row. Play him and really get some action out of Piakura. Make him earn it. It’s not gonna be the difference between a win and a loss and it’s time Piakura starts proving and earning his worth than living off moments and brief periods. I think he is certainly doing the right thing with Piakura. Mariner seems a strange one considering what we have seen so far and who he is using to put a rocket up his ass.

It's a bit of a coin flip which one starts, but both make the team, right? Piakura would have more impact, coming fresh from the bench, so that's one reason to start Jetski.

Mariner is a compulsive try scorer. He's in my team for that reason alone.
