Gotta say when Harry Grant did his back of the hand offload after taking off and making a half break and kick from the play the ball I was imagining him doing it in Gold wearing the 9.

Won't happen anytime soon he is contracted to the storm till the end of 25

The hammer in a gold 13 jersey would be nice

The return of Angus Bell and Rob Leota and a 6:2 bench. Uelese retains his spot. Josh Kemeny in line for a debut.

Frost, Samu, Hodge, Vunivalu drop out of the 23.

Interesting, a 5.5/2.5 split on the bench with Utility Kemeny, congrats on the debut Josh, go well. Hope it's a memorable one for the right reasons.

Tough on Frost & Samu but they'll be in the RWC squad, he needs to see what he can squeeze out of Leota and Philip.

6/8 of that bench is Rebels. Dunno if that's good omens based on our super season....

Only Uelese and Pone came off the bench for the Rebels second half fades though, right?

Assuming Carter is there to cover 10, 12 and 15.

Expecting Quade or Kerevi to play a full 80. Bold. Could go really, really wrong.

If Ikitau goes down, does Nawaqanitawase shift into 13? Kemeny to wing? Or Kerevi shifts out and Carter goes to 12?

Actually love this team. Only change would be swapping Gordon/ Quade.
Great opportunity for both 2nd rowers, sink or swim....

There's no a specialist number 12 on the bench so Kerevi goes to 80 minutes. Maybe you could pick Kemeny to run straight like a prop lol

Bit of a shame not giving Faessler his debut off the bench. Surely this is last chance for Jordan. Not sure if Faessler will get a chance now, Bled x 2 then France and RWC.

Carter has been training at 12..

In before Bell fails his last fitness test and Gibbo comes in for 7 Rebels off the bench

In papers is a pretty good team. I mean, Eddie dropped the players that didn't stand up last week: Hodge, Vunivalu, Frost. Tom and Michael Hooper due injuries so is almost a new team.

Yeah but he isn't a test 12. I dont even consider Paisami an international 12 and Paisami is bigger than Gordon.

10 Cooper / 12 Gordon could be a weak link in defence

oh yeah definitely I agree with you, just saying Carter to 12 is the plan if Kerevi goes down. Big ask for Samu to go 80 minutes coming in fresh from injury.

 

[Slim 293]

We'll have a lot of lineout targets in the second half... hopefully Uelese can throw to one of them.

Have you ever seen Gordon defend? The guy sits people on their arse regularly

Can we get them to stand in an arc rather than all in a straight line?

Looking good Defending at 10 is a very different Kettle of Fish from Looking good defending at 12.
