| A lot of the team picks itself I think, but there are a couple of positions I'm not quite sure about. I thought Swift went well against York and probably should get the nod ahead of Faraimo. I do think Faraimo offers more overall but he also makes too many mistakes. Swift is the safe choice.
The other question is who will be the bench forwards? Do you go with Johnstone or carry an extra big man and move Cator to hooker to Houghton a spell? I also really want to find a place for Brown, but would it leave us short of second row options if he is picked ahead of Lane?
I think if I was selecting the side I'd go with this:
Connor
Swift
Griffin
Tuimavave
Fonua
Reynolds
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Satae
Ma'u
Savelio
Cator
Sao
Johnstone
Bowden
Lane
I like Satae starting the game, him and Taylor are the 2 biggest bodies in the squad and will take plenty of energy out of Huddersfield. Then bring on Sao who is a bit more athletic and will look to offload against tiring defenders.
I don't the side will be too different to that. Maybe a couple of subtle changes. I'm really excited for the game though. New era begins.

| Fonua seems like one of them players who struggles with fitness and isnt just there yet which is why he was almost getting used like a forward at times against Hudds - give it two or three games and he'll be on fire and back to his best imo - Faraimo is a poor mans Fonua imo

| I was happy with what Fonua did tbh. Yes he made a hash of that kick which could have easily cost us a try, but apart from that he did some good work. Did some hard yards with the ball and didn't get out of shape defensively. Not to mention his pass during that play on half time. I also saw in some stats that he was 3rd for distance covered during the game. Behind Houghton and Sneyd. So he isn't shirking. He's getting about the pitch and putting the work in which is great to see when he looked so unfit last year.
Faraimo will get a chance at some point and it's up to him to take it when it comes. But I thought both wingers performed well and I wouldn't fix it if it isn't broken.

| Fonua certianly didn't look unfit to me, also saw the stat that he was 3rd in the list for distance covered. Thought he had a solid game, definatley nothing to nit pick over after a good result.
