Cappy needs to pick a team NRL sides are going to have to think about. Wright with Ashyford is terrible, I can't think of a least mediocre pairing. Cappy is a tard in terms of team selections. He pretty much has conceded there will be no attacking plays on that side of the field. As a player in the opposition, I'd be pumped to match up against that. I'm no Ashyford basher, I think he's been pretty good. But I think Lolohea to his spot offers a lot more to this side.
I think Manu will come straight back in. I'd take him over Jonno any day. TL won't lose his spot in the halves unfortunately. But I'd love to see this;
Fusitua
Allwood/
Maumalo
Lolohea
Kata
Vatuvei
Hingano
Shaun Johnson
Lillyman
Luke
Gavet
Thompson
Hoffman
Mannering
Tevaga
Lane
Sipley/
Lisone (un sure on how many minutes Sipley can bash out)
Muts
I'd watch the game on that back line alone.
I'm sure the coaches are saying Ata would be thrown into a ring of fire.. Well no shit, so is every rookie to have been debuted. This guy is a natural half, something I haven't seen at the Warriors for a long time. Roll the dice cappy.. If we keep picking the same side, we wont get close to the 8 this season, and we would have missed the chance to form our team for the future.
