Perese also named so maybe they had the squad picked before last night’s games and haven’t put any red lines through players.I see they picked Swinton, does that mean they don't expect him to be suspended? If so, someone tell 'em they're dreamin...
No Trevor Hosea is very rough.
Congratulations to Leota and Wells though.
Tbf, Vunivalu, Petaia, and Perese are all injured who would likely start over those two. Daugunu would also be ahead of them.If Philip or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) get injured, we have Timani or Swain starting which doesn't excite me. I thought Timani was a lump of useless this year. Ultimate Airport XV player.
Same for our wing depth. If Wright or Koroibete get injured we could have Kellaway or Muirhead starting..

Yeh I think Kellaway is purely the 3rd choice 15 and the 2nd choice bench utility. If Banks is injured of performs poorly Hodge will be 15 and then Kellaway will jump into that 23 spot as he can cover a lot of positions, otherwise he’s last in line for the wing spots.Tbf, Vunivalu, Petaia, and Perese are all injured who would likely start over those two.

Not blown away by our depth.
Second row and back row possibly the best we've put together for a long time. Not so sure about the front row. Will Slipper be fit enough for test duty? Is LL a bit green to be starting? Will TT find his form again, this year?
I'm sure you've got the backline pretty well spot on, but personally I have issues with To'omua, severely out of form, and Koroibete, looks great but is largely ineffective except when running like an exocet.

Can't see much point of selecting Timani when he's nearly 35 now?
