Need at least two new outside backs, if
Berry and
Vailea were the preseason standouts, then bring them back, unfortunately we'd then have 4 centres and no specialist wingers, don't think Arthur's is much of a winger.
Pompey can do a job on the wing, but was defending quite well at centre, if your carrying
Ratuva in the squad and the 3 wings ahead of him are all out, then you should probably play him.
Curran is a big loss,
Katoa to right edge,
Jazz stays at 13,
Sironen stays on bench. Send
Otukolo back to reserve grade where he can actually play hooker.
Murchie can have the last bench spot, if available.
Only thing in our favour is Canberra can't play wide this year, they just want to muck it up the middle with tapine and papalii and little starling jumping out, which suits us.
Johnson is playing scared of contact, like he's trying to get to the mt smart games intact, basically a specialist kicker at the moment, but if the alternative is
Kodi, really isn't an alternative.
Ban
Walsh from doing the kickoffs.
