2. S. Waqa
3. W. Chambers
4. J. Sau
5. M. Fonua
6. G. Widdop
7. C. Cronk
8. J. Bromwich
9. C. Smith (C)
10. B. Norrie
11. T. Harris
12. R. Hoffman
13. S. Griffin

14. B. Finch
15. J. Ryles
16. K. Bromwich
17. K. Proctor



Option Two (unlikely but an interesting possibility)
1. B. Slater
2. S. Waqa
3. W. Chambers
4. J. Sau
5. M. Fonua
6. G. Widdop
7. C. Cronk
8. J. Bromwich
9. B. Finch
10. B. Norrie
11. T. Harris
12. R. Hoffman
13. C. Smith (C)

Junior Moors? or Lagi Setu (didn't do anything wrong last night).

I reckon Tohu would be a perfect replacement at lock. Can play on the edges or up the middle. His work rate is top notch.

Would name Slade on the bench to come on for Proctor and then move Tohu to the edges.

I probably overlooked Setu, he has been solid for us and it would be a toss up between him and K. Bromwich. Junior Moors is an average player at best and will probably spend most of the year in the NSW Cup. We do need a utility off the bench, that's why I've gone for Griffin and/or Finchy.

First 10 is obvious. Becomes interesting when O'Neill returns though, for either Sau or Fonua.

11 - Proctor
12 - Hoffman
13 - Harris

14 - Ryles
15 - Setu
16 - K.Bromwich/Moors
17 - Griffin/Finch

We are in good shape to replace the likes of Hinchy and Vave. Plenty of lock options - Proctor, K.Brom, Griffin all more than capable. Setu, Moors, K.Brom, all able to replace Vave off the bench.

Not worried at all. Bring it on!
