Round 10 - Melbourne v Souths
This is probably going to be our toughest test of the season thus far. The boys I'm sure will still be hurting from them getting a helping hand in the finals last year against us so that should give them some added emotion.
Here's the team that should line-up against Souths, who're starting to get into their groove.
1. Billy Slater
2. Sisa Waqa
3. Will Chambers
4. Kurt Mann
5. Young Tonumaipea
6. Cameron Munster/Joel Romelo/Tohu Harris (Hampton is no doubt going to receive a suspension and Roberts & Walker are both injured)
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cameron Smith (C)
10. Bryan Norrie
11. Kevin Proctor
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Tohu Harris (need to match Souths big boys up front so I'd be starting Tohu)
14. Ryan Hinchcliffe
15. Kenny Bromwich
16. Felise Kafusi (Weston added nothing last night and it looks like Garbutt has fallen out of favour or he's carrying an injury)
17. George Rose
If Bellyache is not too fond on blooding Munster this early and Walker isn't fit (haven't heard the prognosis on his injury) then Tohu may slot into five-eight where he did more than an admirable job for the Kiwis last week.

Hampton might be alright depending on the grading. He'll take the early guilty plea no doubt and may not miss a game. As for who would come in for him, wouldn't surprise me to see Roberts back early. If not it'll have to be Tohu.
Garbutt needs to come back in, Kenny needs more game time and we need to play some more off the cuff footy and turn their big forwards around.

What about Mann at 6? Looks like he could handle himself well in defence. Or as you said Tohu at 6 would go well too.
Don't bring Mahe back yet. I'm one of his biggest fans but you don't learn how to tackle in a week playing NSW Cup. Mann did an awesome job defensively against a credible centre in Matai so don't move the kid from centre. I reckon that'd be a mistake.
I would go with
1 slater
2 waqa
3 chambers
4 Mann
5 young
6 Hampton/ Roberts/ walker don't mind who gets the start. But I would like to see what walker can do..
7 cronk
8 j Bromwich
9 smith
10 garbutt or Weston
11 proctor
12 hoffy
13 Harris
14 hinchy
15 k Bromwich
16 moors
17 rose
Norrie is HOPELESS!
