That would be pretty close to my side, I think.
Perhaps Mills or Wright in the centres though.
I still think Chad needs a bit more time. No doubt there will be injuries or poor form though, so hopefuly he'll get some time in first grade. I dont really think he's ready for a full season though.
I'd also be happy to have Green or Cordoba on the bench. I wasn't all that impressed with what i saw of Fafita last year Tbh.
As soon as there is an injury in the backrow Bukuya slots back there for me. Once that happens it is between Mills, Wright and Leutele to show they deserve the spot.
But for me our best side is with all of those backrowers in it and I think Bukuya is the best suited to the centres. Although at the same time I don't want to move him there because of his huge work load.
However I'm not as worried about that as I was earlier on because now we have addded Ross and Gibbs there is a pretty good work load there, we have Smith and Gall both have big work loads.
I am a little concerned about how much work will get done if we have Tupou, Taga and Fafita on at the same time as they are all impact players.
I think Chad will go on to be a very good first grader for us but he just isn't in the same class as Kelly and Carney. I am a little concerned about whether or not these two will form a good partnership (they might lack organisational skills). So we may well see Chad back in the side anyway. However I feel a season in NSW Cup with the odd first grade game would be great for him.
I think Fafita will be alot better this year. I think he just got his nose out of joint last season.
