I thought Howarth was OK at 9 to be honest.

I don't like Sio at 13. It's ok as cover but our pack strength changed when we played Molloy and Simon in the back row and in particular when we played Simon at 13. Size matters to us and we have an abundance of big back rowers now. No point putting a smaller guy out of position in that spot.
As was pointed out Kirmond and Tupou run opposite sides of the field so will work well together. Molloy, Simon, Arona and maybe Annakin would all fit at 13 before Sio.

Possibly NRL Ex Cronulla Sharks player Arona will play at 13 from what's been said about him with Simon reverting to impact prop off the bench?

I'm 50-50 on Hall. I've said I'd like him in centre too but I'm thinking I'd start with Tupou in centre a let Hall prove his form.

I think Aruna can play 10 as well so maybe keep Simon at 13. I've liked him there this season.
Looks a good 17 though either way.

Really? Really? We know why you changed it. Now go and play while the misters talk about Rugby.

Exactly mine too. Or at least it will be when Moore is confirmed

Go on then why?

I\ll not respond to the last sentence as again I don't wish to be cruel or take advantage

I'm gonna go slightly off piste with this one. I think some of you are underestimating Morris here and I'd be tempted if training and friendlies to start him. I know he's raw but so is Hall at centre, however he is very very enthusiastic and competitive and probably more athletic. If he is as potentially good as some suggest (bit of a hot property as a speculator) then as we all know backs can cement their place and reputation very quickly if they are as good as they appear.

Think we need to hit the ground running and although I except Halls mitigating injuries he will IMHO never be that kind of player. Also I feel he should have to wait his chance, he certainly shouldn't get any position by right especially one he was renowned at HKR for being not very good at.

BJB
Johnstone, Gibson, Morriss, Tupou or Owen
Miller, Finn
Scruton, Sio, Anderson or Walker (not convinced by Anderson)
Tupou, Kirmond
Arona

Moore, England, Simon, Ashurst or Anakin

What is the situation with regards our current quota space ?

I think we have one overseas spot left. Don't know if it's a quota spot or a NFT as I don't know the status of Tupou and Arona.

England will prob start for you he's better than scruton and Anderson, on our wire site, they are questioning why he was allowed to go?? Just doesn't make sense,, your pack is looking good,
