With an unbelivable lost of injuries this year we haven't seen our strongest 17 play together yet.

However we do get some big names back by middle of the year including AD and Laurie.

Assuming Blore, Roberts and Talau are out for most if not all the season,

What is your top 17 you'd like to see run out at the back end of this year?

After seeing Garners pace on Saturday ...he has to be in front of Toa ...better defensively as well 

 

I'm still amazed by that ....shock actually.....60 odd games and you finally see the bloke has real pace ....why would you hide that lol

 

And then I'd be tempted to throw Toa on Ken's wing ....yes Ken is a weapon with his size and ability under the high ball ...but his problem is getting caught out on the turn with grubber kicks and speed ...tough one actually ....Toa has shown he can break the line and get into clear air in a few games now

I'm keen to test AD at 13 this year - and see if we have 2 first grade centres to cover him- with the aim of having a settled spine for preseason. 

Tempted to find a spot for Garner given his efforts this year - but given he's moving on better to test 2023 players.

Also tempted to play Peach at centre but he offers a lot at 14. If Rua was fit I'd play Rua at 14 and Peach in centres

I actually dont think Garner is actually that fast. IMO his run on Saturday was made to look like he is faster than he is because initially it was only Foran chasing him on his old hammies and then Turbo caught him from across the field but not soon enough to get a decent shot at him. Not sure Turbo is that quick these days on his hammies either.

 

Not to belittle Garners effort, it was awesome, but there was no one quick nearby to gauge him against.

I agree Garner was made to look quicker than he is. 
Toa a lot of upside see him as a centre with Douhie in our strongest team

Brooks at 13 hey, I see the logic. I don’t think Doueihi has the D for lock and Hastings is firing (generally) at halfback.

slowest halves pairing

surely Douhie has to play centre this year 

Don't break up Hadtings and Brooks combo
