Agree with May playing good mins, same Klem assuming he plays well. 2 middles can play good mins & 2 who can impact. I’d have Bird & Sione sharing lock, once again assuming he resigns.Sounds good. I only suggested Pole & Klem because I thought it’d give better balance. One can play a solid, holding the middle kind of game for 20-25 mins, the other is more offensive impact. The same with bench, May play a solid 20-25 & Hunt more impact so an impact forward on at different times. But I can see why the coach would go a different way & why fans might be happier as well.Yes, just guessing at what the rotation might look like but that’s what’s best about his signing. Up until then (still not official of course) there was some concern about the rotation. It would just be a nice headache for Benji now it seems.Possible team:
Bula
Turuva
Olam
Star
Skelton
Galvin
Luai
Bird/Sione
Sam Fainu
Seyfarth
Pole
Api
Klemmer
Bench: May, Hunt, Sione/Bird, TDS
Team If one more signing I’d like
Bula
Turuva
Olam
Star
Skelton
Galvin
Luai
Bird
Sam Fainu
Frizell
Pole
Api
Klemmer
Bench: May, Hunt, Sione, TDS
I think May is first prop picked.
For mine May is probably our prop with the most minutes in him. Wasted off the bench. Im starting with May & Klem
For me May is playing 50-60 minutes every week with Hunt picking up his remaining minutes.
I actually wouldn't mind starting Pole and May.
Klemm and Pole sharing minutes.
Seyfarth on the bench as he can play in the middle for a stint and fill in on the edge of we get an injury.

Api will still have one game.to serve
May will be our highest paid prop. He is starting.
Justin Olam hanging with his best mates in Bali....
This guy is a marketing departments dream, if he can make the tigers successful whatever we paid for him will be peanuts compared to the revenue he could generate for the club and himself. Will also teach Galvin and the other kids a few things on and off the field that could turn them into major brands.Romey repping us already

There would also be the chance that Bird starts the year at centre, or back row. I know he's stated he wanted to play lock but centre still an option if Benji elects to start Turuva on the wing. At least that would sure up the defence somewhat? Star/Skelton or Turuva/Skelton could be bad news for defending!
I reckon round one Benji will go with experience first, so something like:
1.Bula
2. Staines
3. Olam
4. Doueihi
5. Turuva
6. Galvin
7. Luai
8. May
9. Korisau
10. Klemmer
11. Fainu
12. Bird
13. Pole
14. Seyfarth
15. Twal
16. Hunt
17. TDS/L. Fainu
Not saying that’s necessarily my combo but a conservative start might be best.

I think Skelton and Staines will pip AD.
Otherwise that's the Team I agree will run out in Week 1.

Can't have Twal and Seyfarth on the bench together and need Pole in the prop rotation and not pretending to be a lock, AD shouldn't be anywhere near first grade. If we run out with that side then I doubt Benji sees out the season.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
Seems I was right again🤪@jedi-tiger tipping it will be at CSS. 6pm Fri Vs out of town team screams Campbelltown. LO willget all the Sun arvo games.
