Handley has to play wing.You are the looking at a choice of Fusitua Martin Mcdonnell and Olpherts at centre.

Apart from couple bad drops and lapses of concentration think Olpherts is a big unit and should play wing or centre….

I hope that olpherts is out of the team with Martin centre handley wing and Bentley Mcdonnell/Tetevano back row and Walters coming in.

Agree about Walters but it Tet plays back row who would be out starting props?

Walters and Sangare on the bench.

Myler

Macdonald
Martin
Handley
Austin
Sezer
Holroyd
Oconner
Lisone
Tetevano
Bentley
Smith

Lisone isnt a starting prop, 10 minutes either side of half time is the best he can manage atm. Keep Tet at prop, might still be poop but playing the best he has for us at prop

Re: SL RD 3 | St Helens (A) : Thu Mar 02, 2023 3:39 pm  

Must say I'm unimpressed with what i've seen of Lisone so far... he looks miles off. Not writing him off but when you compare him to Chris Satae at Hull and likes of Paasi, Sironen, Matauitia at Saints he's some way to go to get near their calibre.

Re: SL RD 3 | St Helens (A) : Thu Mar 02, 2023 4:21 pm  

I'll give him chance before really judging but I hope we've not another Tetevano situation

I don't think we will have, Tetevano did the double whammy of underperforming and getting banned constantly.

I think we need to give Lisone a few weeks to get up to speed. He's shown a few glimpses IMO

Don’t think Olpherts gets dropped. Might move him in one to centre and let Handley go back to wing. Martins defence is woeful and even more exposed at centre…..

As an aside, got to say I've enjoyed sky's Powell cam return tonight.

A little disappointing to see 3 ex Leeds props causing the return of Powell Cam though.
