Quote: PAUL M "Crocker is better than either of them and Manu offers something different. Luauki I have as a direct replacement for Manu. He could play prop which would leave a slot for Radford or Tickle. Maybe the new no.7 would be a kicker?
Why do Radford/Tickle have to be selected?'"
They dont, i was just asking the question.
FWIW i would use Lauaki as an impact prop and my team/squad would be:
Hall
Calderwood
Briscoe/New centre
Yeaman
Raynor
R Horne
New 7
Dowes
Berro
Radford
Tickle
Crocker
Washy
Lauaki
Thacks/King
Houghton/Lee
Manu
Would still then have in reserve:
Thacks or King
Maloney if he gets a new deal
Houghton or Lee
Burnett
Whiting
G Horne etc etc
Thats for me if coached correctly is a decent squad, and we arent far off.
