That's a solid back-line !

Good to see Hutch as utility. I probably would have had Suluka-Fifita or Whyte on the bench instead of Fletcher Baker but overall that's a solid side.


PS: Keen to see Billy Smith have a run !

[Monaco's Fan Club]

That’s a great looking backline ! Considering Big Joe yet to return

[Easts75]

I'm aroused, love this line up !!

So pumped for Billy Smith

[tloos1999]

Great looking team. You’d argue that when Suaalli is fit, he could struggle (this season), to force back into that backline pending everyone stays fit and plays at a high level. Momorovski might have been the only one who could be switched with him (when he comes back), but judging by this line up, he’ll be our goalkicker. Love the depth we have!

Billy Smith, wow didnt see that coming. Well done to him, he must of impressed in the off season big time because I would have put my house on Momo at centre with Naiqama on the wing.
N Butcher of course is in the 17.
SST on the bench so who kicks the goals?
If the rain continues it will be a game leveler. It will be no easy win.

[Bahrain Rooster]

More or less what was expected. Side looks good.

Reported on Twitter that Sam Walker will be the goalkicker. A bit of extra leg muscle will do his accuracy the world of good imho.

Man I can’t wait for Saturday!! Hopefully the weather is kind to us and we get a dryish track!! The footy is back boys and girls!!

Can’t say I’m confident with any kicker we have, keighran was probably best of a average bunch, plenty who might take a shot though with walker,momo,b smith, teddy.

Mean forward pack..Billy Smith in? that was a surprise..good luck kid will be at game if you need any band aids

[Davo]

With the call to put Momorovski on the wing and Smith in the centres, indicates to me that Suaalii will replace Smith when fit and not on the wing.

Can't see any logic in your statement: equally Suaali can come in for Momo on the wing.

[Roosterfarian]

Thought mom would have taken the kicking dooties.

Looks a bit light at hooker but otherwise a very nice side.
