An interesting side, Mutu back in team and on bench. Tafai also back on bench, and after the awesome desplay from Tivaina on the weekend can't see him being knocked off if he has another game like the one against Waikato. Would have thought Chad might get a start sometime ahead of Lee as both in my book have the same qualities. Hika still not called up is another point to ponder, is Lowe a better option than Hika or is he really lost form. Clint Newland is still breaking records, but for me is lucky to be holding onto his spot after some dodgy tackling last week. Raihania, like Clarke, has played his way into the team and is making the number 8 jersey his own at the moment.
After Southlands display last week I would hope the Magpies get stuck in early as they did against Waikato and keep the pressure on. A tough away game, but one I hope Rat's has targeted as a win in our Pool. 1. Clint Newland 2. Danny Logan 3. Tom Symes 4. Lua Lokotui (C) 5. Bryn Evans 6. Michael Johnson 7. Tivaini Fomai 8. Wirihana Raihania 9. Danny Lee 10. Aayden Clarke 11. Lote Raikabula 12. Justin Wilson 13. Nathan Mauger 14. Ryan Glover 15. Israel Dagg
16. Karl Lowe 17. David Briggs 18. Mutu Ngarimu 19. Tafai Ioasa 20. Chad Sheperd 21. Matt Berquist 22. Dan Waenga |
