Going to try and pick a team... That will at least have a chance.
Assuming Lolohea and Mannering are out...
Wells (Fusitua did ok covering, but Wells is a fullback)
Fusitua (worked well with Ayshford on the right last week)
Ayshford
Kata
Manu (I really can't see him getting dropped so may as well face up to it and name him)
Hingano - may as well give him some experience in the top grade. Robson is the other option, but may as well develop for the future.
Shaun Johnson
Matulino
Leuluai (yep, moving him and demoting Luke - should add a bit more sting in the middle while he's on, plus give Luke a chance to run at a tired pack)
Vete
Thompson
Hoffman (I don't want to pick him but he is the captain and I'm being realistic here)
Lisone
Luke
Lillyman
Lane (to play prop off the bench spelling Matulino)
Lauititi (to sub Lisone at lock)
After the hiding yesterday, I expect most of them would want to atone for their lack of performance. So give them the chance. And make it VERY clear that if they play like that again any time this season - they're playing NSW Cup. Hopefully the demotion of Luke might motivate him and some of the others...
