Paps needs to be demoted. He isn't giving 100%.
Good line up (well the best we can work with anyway). Might as well add Brooks in with Laurie though. He isn’t going anywhere.

I have know idea of injuries. Still think Parra will put 50 points on us, but the world will keep on turning and the sun will rise tomorrow.

The only halves combination that has not been used is Brooks & Laurie why not give them an opportunity together we have nothing to lose also Bula is in the top 30 now as his profile is now on the Wests Tigers website. Douiehi is a centre & nothing else. Ofahengaue should come back & Blore deserves a starting spot with Bateman to lock. I think this team would improve what we have seen thus far.
 
If your still putting Asu in the centers im not sure you watched the game .Time and time again he rushed up missed and was left sprawled on the ground or just stood there watching with no chase back . I think he's improved as a 2nd row and maybe a bench forward.
If we are persisting with Brooks put him with Naden in the centers where he is not main playmaker or decision maker and he can simply catch ,pass and run .
Imo I would give Laurie another go at FB and have a Douehi ,Wakeham half's pairing
Not ideal but we lack a class playmaker .It's just an idea but could Bateman be a playmaker?
One plus is Blore came good he's a definite but Twal not sure ?

Staines (clearly the best fullback option)
Toa
Naden
Kepaoa (missed some tackles by rushing up last week but deserves another chance)
Tupou
Laurie (Nothing to lose by trying him. Doueihi has to be dropped)
Wakeham (gets the position by default. Brooks has to be dropped)
Bateman
Blore
Papalii
Twal (Average contributions but noone else)
Koroisau
Klemmer

Simpkin
Utoikamanu
Pole
Matamua

Sheens must punish the ineptness and lack of commitment of Brooks/ Doueihi) by dropping them both. An inexperienced bench but I don't know what other options there are. I haven't heard that Ofahengaue has been ripping it up in KOE Cup. Also, he's a hard working starter, not an impactful bench player. Has Will Smith been playing well? No idea.

Interesting. I like it. I've also never seen Bula play so my opinion means squat on putting him in there.

Really tough on whoever misses out between Kepoa and Blore but want Matamua in there. Number 13 and future captain for years to come IMO.
