starting team for Toronto : Sat Jan 19, 2019 9:53 am  

Who would you start against the Wolfpack, some players need big minutes and combinations need working on

1 Dagger. Needs to be given a go to see what stage he's at. Bags of potential so lets see it.
2 Hall
3 Keinhorst
4 Vaivai. Still our most threatening strike player
5 Shaw
6 Maguire
7 Drinkwater. Needs time with Maguire on the pitch.
8 Mulhearn
9 Lee
10 Garbutt
11 Tomkins
11 Linnet
13 Lannon. Lot of potential but needs a chance to show that.

14 Atkin. A season of utilty again IMO
15 Mose
16 Greenwood. Frontrow beckons
17 Hauraki
18 Johnson. Make or break season
19 Crooks

Its a shame where without Quinlan and Lunt but we look to have some good depth for a change.

After Building for the Future and Peacock’s reign of error, i’m allergic to the word ‘potential’ - and you’ve used it twice! I’m probably going to come out in hives now.

Fingers crossed for a good hit out without any injuries.

24-14. Sounded like a decent enough effort from the radio commentary.

The amount of errors will be a concern but its something that will improve.
For me friendlies are about match fitness, combinations and most importantly getting through them injury free.

going on the 1st friendly this was a step up and its become apparent we have less weaknesses in the team than previous years,drinkwater improved from his first runout and we must keep vai vai at starting centre classy player. and for me dagger must be given his chance at full back the kid has a bright future,moderately optimistic , a finishing position of 7th to 10th looks likely

Regarding Dagger, I think he wants to impress so much, and do more than the "norm" that he overplays sometimes. kid has more raw talent 20 odd members of the squad. He just needs to play his game, as instructed by one of the best coaches to ever coach a team in Sheens, and he wont go far wrong in my eyes.

He needs to get game time though to prove himself, hopefully he'll get a crack at fb but im not sure he will.

If the most important thing was getting through them injury free the best thing would be not to play them at all.
