We are down on backs mate - we have plenty of forwards. Taga, Heignho and JB on the bench was enough to win the GF.

I get we are down on backs but you have put a 5/8 or a lock in place of Latimore.
Bukuya debuted as a Centre and Lewis can play in the backs as well. Wigan have a big pack, we will need him over a utility

Squads announced. No Cherrington, No Feki, no Holmes or T-Rex. Nu, Morts and Brailey all in. Ramien and Latimore also picked. Interesting squad.
Bird, Ramien, Beale, Leutele, Capewell, Maloney, Townsend, Gal, Graham, Lewis, Fifita, Prior, Heighington, Latimore, Bukuya, Mortimer, Brown, Brailey, Paula and Taga
Still good enough to beat Wigan I think.

I don't know who Ramien is, but I hope he is a world champion soon.
He'll have a dish named after him at the Toup Kitchen before he knows it.

Thats a decent squad but anyone know any reason why Cherrington wouldn't have been picked? I'd say he must have picked up a small knock in the 9's. He impressed me a fair bit.

I thought he was dirt in the 9's
Slow service, ****e running game, hopefully we dont see much of him
That squad should lap wigan

Thats got 80% of our Premiership winning team, we should beat them. Put Bird fb Leutele & Capewell centres and have to have Beale & Ramien on the wings. I'd go normal halves & forward combination just unsure on the hooker yet.

No - if you are comparing against our GF winning squad I have put a Paulo in place of a bench 3/4.
Bukuya debuted as a winger mate
but yeah, he was supposed to be a centre - Bukuya at centre these days is a bit of a stretch I reckon. Lewis is "OK" there in an emergency, but I wouldn't run out with either of those guys in #3 or #4.I don't give two hoots about Wigan's pack. We outplayed Canberra's pack with Beale and JSL on the bench - Flanno's strategy for playing big teams is to run little guys at them all day.

Missing two of our GF spine for this.
Over there, their conditions and they're probably going to be up for it most.
Can't see us winning this but I'm not overly fussed.

Cheers, I watched about 5 minutes of the nines. Noodles did not feature in the small part I saw.
:good:
Depends how Ch 9 feel on the day.
One year I was at a wedding and we were on the piss to the wee hours, and someone mentioned it was being played on tv.
They didn't play a single second of footage, just had 15 minutes of Tim Gilbert talking about it on WWoS set.
