Me rikey.......pretty hot team still, imagine if latrell was ready for fullback, putting fergo back to the centres. Cordner and JWH returning for hendo and leuluai, even nikorima back to bench for pearce, we still have one too many?

[Chooky Chookerson]

No real surprises with the exception of Ian Henderson. Not a huge fan of his but I guess Robo wants to play it safe with a very inexperienced spine.

[Arties Pie]

Really suprised Burgess isn't on the run on side, I would have thought being a English rep player would have put him in front of Latrell, but happy to be proven wrong.

[eddie]

Three players in the backline are out of position.
It would be such an easy fix and all.

I believe Frei for Henderson sooner than later.....

I think the fact that the Pom missed half the preseason means that he's a little behind the eight ball at the moment. Remember he didn't arrive in the country until after Xmas and is probably still adjusting to the conditions, as well as the increased fitness needed for the NRL.

Meanwhile, Latrell had a full offseason and is more attune to the team structures etc.

Joe will get an opportunity over the next month or two I reckon. Esp as Fergo seems a little injury prone.

And what about Elliot ???

Strange though as he is a specialised winger, he does know what to do

robbo says mid season

[Ray Stehr]

Ian Henderson's selection worry's me, sounds like a favour to a former player at Catalans. And i'd have Mitchell at fb and Fergo in the centres other than that it's the best team we have atm.

Really enjoy listening to Robbo talk about the team. I think we will win

[John Corey]

Henderson should be nowhere near that team. We should be going with another forward. Maubs can help out at dummy half in short stints, even if it means starting him from the bench.

[BUDDY]

Good to see Leuluai get a shot on the bench.
Why is Henderson in the top 19?
My biggest concern is SKD/Latrell in defence. SKD defending at centre is bad enough but a real concern with Latrell on his outside. Inglis will have a field day.

Not confident at all.
