Pretty good Joel. Plenty impact off the bench, not a lot to start. Not sure if Masi or Jeral gets that wing spot, prefer Jeral as of right now given he’s also on the improve and is a tough runner of the ball. Would be keen to see Masi play centre some more in Cup with better players next year. I’m sure opportunities will come. And Latu on bench could play 13 mostly as he did this season quite well or fill in for Api if needs a rest sometimes. I think Latu provides some a real point of difference once he comes on. And at this stage I prefer AD’s kicking & experience but it’s a bit of a coin toss once Latu has a few games under his belt again. I guess there’ll be options there for Benji & he’ll need them if we have a few more injury issues than we did this year. But it’s looking like we’ll have a bit more depth.So, what do we think about this?

I also think one of Seyfarth or Geyer could take a bench spot to play some middle & cover edge if needed. Maybe one of Hunt, Afoa or Pole missing out. Might help early season when conditions are tough.So, what do we think about this?

One other thing I’d like to see added to the proposed 17 that Joel has posted here is a 13. I’d love to see a guy like Adam Elliot in the 13. It’d then leave you with Terrell, Sione, Twal, Pole, Hunt, Afoa & Seyfarth as options for starters or bench. As guys who could improve & get a run at some point would be Kit Laulilii, Peter Tateeo and possibly Christian Tapau-Moors.
I think I’d then start with Terrell, Sione & Elliot as middles. Twal, Pole & Hunt or Afoa would be on the bench with Latu when fit.
So a possible 17 would be:
Bula
Tito
Taylan
Star
Skelton
Luai
AD
Elliot
KPP
Samuela
Sione
Api
Terrell
Bench: Twal, Pole, Hunt/Afoa, Latu
