Your team against Saints?

How would your team line up and who'd miss out?

1 B Hodgson
2 Cudjoe
3 Lawrence
4 Wild
5 D Hodgson
6 Brown
7 Robinson
8 Griffin
9 Lunt
10 Mason
11 Raleigh if fit, if not then Lolesi, if he's not fit then Faiumu
12 Kirmond
13 Fulton

14 Moore
15 Crabtree
16 Sculthorpe
17 Jackson

If Whatuira is fit then i'd still not play him due to match fitness and Finnigan and Aspy haven't shown me much to be chosen in front of the rest of the pack.

Sculthorpe is cup tied though Ponner!

Errr yeh well spotted. I was wondering who'd be the first one to spot the deliberate mistake

HAHA! yeh whatever! The "deliberate mistake!" more like you getting ahead of yourself and excited ;P

On the assumption that Whatuira & Raleigh are unavailable then I would go with;

1 B Hodgson
2 Cudjoe
3 Lawrence
4 Lolesi
5 D Hodgson
6 Brown
7 Robinson
8 Griffin
9 Lunt
10 Mason
11 Fulton
12 Wild
13 Faiumu

14 Moore
15 Crabtree
16 Kirmond
17 Jackson

If Whatuira is declared fit then he would replace Lolesi who would move into the pack with Faiumu on the bench and Jacko losing out as I think the additional pace may pay off.
Wouldn't risk Raleigh though even if passed fit. Save him for the final

Glad I'm not NB though - some tough calls to make.

That means a few players who really don't deserve to miss out, but then neither do any that I have picked. We really do a have a quality squad at the moment.
