I don’t care who we pick on the left wing as long as it isn’t Hunt. He’s earned the right to play in the centres and should remain there.

I wouldn't be opposed to moga on the wing and move hunt into the centres, at least we have a bigger body returning the ball from kicks.
 
9 runs 105 metres doing hard stuff out of our end doesn't look to little commitment to me. He is the strongest ball carrier amongst the backs at the club and it's not close imo.

Mann had 8 runs for 55m playing centre before he got hurt...
 
Moga playing outside Ponga this week might mean he gets some good opportunities to score some tries.
I was disappointed with his effort last week, but maybe he needs time to gel with the team.
 
Much more well rounded team named for this round. Should settle things down a bit hopefully going into the final part of the season. Watson & Buhrer on the bench is **** though, get Jaifiti or Guerra in before Buhrer. I'm sure it might change before kick off though.
 
1. Kalyn Ponga
2. Hymel Hunt
3. Tautau Moga
4. Jesse Ramien
5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
6. Kurt Mann
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Daniel Saifiti
9. Danny Levi
10. David Klemmer
11. Mitch Barnett
12. Sione Mata'utia
13. Tim Glasby

Interchange:

14. Connor Watson
15. James Gavet
16. Herman Ese'ese
17. Jamie Buhrer
18. Jacob Saifiti
19. Josh King
20. Mason Lino
21. Aidan Guerra

I'd be swapping Jacob for Buhrer.
Watson can cover the spine, jacob can cover backrow and middles.

Cant like this more then once unfortunately.

When i go over the 30+years of this club and think of the 5 players that define tough forwards to wear the jumper i can only laugh at what they must think of Gavet efforts of being a enforcer.

1 Paul Harragon
2 Tony Butterfield
3 Adam Muir
4 Steve Simpson
5 Jeremy Smith

Every one of these MEN had the ability to strike fear into the whole 13 on the field against them.

Imo all 5 of these guys would destroy Gavet on the field.

Being tough and feared is earnt by playing fearless and fair.

Gavet is a high school bully that most laugh at.

I'm hoping he does not make the final 17.
