With question marks over BHU's fitness, and Toby starting off the bench in the last trial, I think we may run out like:
1. Kennedy
2. Katoa
3. Ramien
4. Talakai
5. Ronaldo
6. Trindall
7. Hynes
8. Kaufusi
9. Brailey
10. Hunt
11. Nikora
12. Wilton
13. Finucane
14. McInnes
15. Williams
16. Rudolf
17. Hazleton

Once BHU is fit I'd ideally like to see Toby stay on the bench. Think he is better utilised from there and reduction of minutes probably won't hurt the toe management.
Could see the half time break going either way for him, but they’ll be able to assess how best to manage that.
Ie is he better off playing 20, halftime, playing 20.
Or playing 20, big break to ice it up, shorter stint near the end.
Odd injury so who knows - might be fine either way with an injection but I do think he looks uncomfortable at times. Also questioned his power push off through it for first step last season - thought I saw that again in trial but hoping that was just confirmation bias and trial fatigue and he’ll look better next week.

Had a dream that Johnson got injured and Warriors stunk it up
But I have late Feb dream every year of winning round 1 and we never do lol
After last weekend's trial I'd really hate to see us start with both Kaufusi and Hunt.
If the Dogs' pack can bully us, the Warriors' could kill us.
Ideally we swap one of them for Rudolf or Uele, but if they're not fit, Williams or Hazelton.

If we have a chance at winning this, we gotta run EVERY play at Montoya

That might be a bit predictable after a set or two mate

I don't care if we have a good 5th tackle option on the other side of the field, rugby union razzle dazzle pass the **** of the ball right across the field back to his wing

Could be up by 50 I'll still think we could lose this

If there's any team that could lose a game while ahead by 50 in the 79th minute, it's us.
It's not even the players, it's just cause it's us.

Weirdly I think this year we will win games we didn’t expect and drop ones we should win.
We win this 20-14

All it takes is one SJ 'imagine if we won it from here' and we are gone

Not confident
Warriors will be a very tough proposition especially in NZ.
Hopefully AFB takes it easy on us (not likely thou).
