I thought Moa was always goign to be 5th choice prop and has not done to much in pre season to change that for me. Also I dont think Agar would drop Calderwood for Hall as Hall has never done well on the wing can only be down to injury. I dont know how fast Turner is but surely he has as much chance as Hall of starting on the wing, He'd probably do better returning the ball out of his own 20.

Don't think pace is that much of an issue. neither meli or gardner are that quick.

Big issue is to stop their good go forward they get from their front 5

The team for Saints

Tansey Briscoe Yeaman Whiting Turner
Horne Long
Radford Houghton Downs
Manu Tickle
Fitzgibbon
Subs Berrigan O'Meley Lauaki Cusack

Meli is not in the Saints 19

Wheeler will be on the wing , Meli is still in NZ

yeah if they get quick play the balls Puletua and graham will run over us. be interesting to see how they play the three hookers

1 Tansey
2 Hall
3 Whiting
4 Yeaman
5 Tom Briscoe
6 Horne
7 Long
8 Dowes
9 Berrigan
10 Radford
11 Manu
12 Tickle
13 Fitzgibbon

14 Houghton
15 Cusack
16 Lauaki
17 O'Meley

Disappointed with Calders and Moa missing out whatever the reasons may be, but I'm sure their chances will come.

We shouldn't have offloaded Raynor!

Still not seen anyone name the same team that ive heard we are using

...are we talking about Hall or Yeaman??

Thought he was very impressive in the Rovers game.

still think turner will be ahead of whiting

nothing against whiting but we need pace in the centres and sadly whiting doesnt
