Glad to see Nofo still there. Cue the Benny Hill music.
Interesting. I assume Brooks to 9 to spell Api. Weird to see Bula on the list being outside 30.
expect some changes from TeflonTeam List:

What's the deal with Bula?
Laurie injured exemption for Tigers to play bula
@tiger5150 It will be interesting to see where Wakeham comes into the game. I was thinking he'd play dummy half?
Also I think Bula is listed in the reserves because we have run out of Outside Backs in the Top 30. There is nobody else to pick with Maumalo, Laurie, and Talau out. We'd have to apply for an exemption if someone else goes down.
I think this partly explains why Tumeth keeps his spot on the bench. We need outside back cover. I personally would swap Matamua and Tumeth anyway. Matamua can play lock interchanging with Pole imo. We need ball players in the middle.
@tiger5150 I reckon AD to 13
think Bateman comes in for tumeth
It will be Wakeham to 7 and Brooks to 9 i'd imagine..
maybe wakeham drops off the bench for bula (perhaps hiding his debut) and Bateman for tumeth
