Tohu Harris, Solomone Kata and
Shaun Johnson are all set to be fit. Straight in the team IMO.
Issac Luke's injury poses issues with
Jazz Tevaga only suppose to be a bandaid replacement, not a genuine hooker. This is
Karl Lawton's chance to step up. Rather trial him ahead of Sam Cook.
Peta Hiku gets another chance simply because there is no one else to replace him who wouldn't just weaken that edge any worse than it was tonight.
Pack to stay the same with James Gavet returning in place of Albert Vete. While Vete has more impact at the line than some players he is simply to sluggish on defence.
Time for Ligi Sao to make a return in place of tonight's debutant. His workrate and attitude has been sorely missed during both losses.
Would prefer Simon Mannering and Adam
Blair swap over as all attack dies with Mannering a
Blair lands his offloads better in less traffic but I don't think that will happen anytime soon...
