Are we counting Flegler and Hudson Young as blonde, because they should have selection on heritage grounds at least.

We'll have to ask Coach James Graham.

Randall Nanai Tago A. Fifita
Tuilagi M. King Russell Koula 


11k spare, thoughts?

Wouldn’t you be better off swapping Cheese and Randall on account if his DPP? A Fafita in your actual 17? Not a fan of your FB’s, especially Pereira. How did Arrow go on the weekend? He’s definitely an option I’m considering.

Depends how you strictly you define "Cows + Guns"

The original intention is basically "no midrangers". So guys like Sexton/Uto/Hynes would not be covered by a strict cows+gun team. A purist would rather have Haas+Paulo than Uto+Hynes

That's why people come up with terms like "subguns", "guns in the making" - so they can internally justify the dirty little middies that are infesting their team

I don't think many people run without any middies at all. But if you are truly devoted to the Cow+Gun philosophy, in case of doubt always err on the side of squeezing another high calibre player in and find another base price player to allow it.

Where's Kobe?

The way things are shaping up, I would have Fifita in my 17 as well, looking good for ~40 minutes for ~40 points off the bench.

True I could swap Randall and Cheese. Have to have someone as 17th man they won’t be a world beater if they get me 35 points I’m happy Fifita can do that. Well I had to cut at WFB, like you have to sacrifice somewhere cant be strong everywhere.

Arrow should get DPP and he is 554k. You’d think he gets 55-60mins. There is some value there.

If Arrow gets 55-60 mins on the edge, I would doubt he will outscore Uto with 55-60 minutes in the middle (averaged 56 minutes at prop for 56 points to finish last season).

As a Tigers fan I don’t think any of our players are must haves. How many minutes are you expecting him to get? Simpkin definitely will need a rest and Peach is all we have but Twal plays big minutes too. Await TLT and we see the bench.

Is that all the feedback you’ll give me?

I did my starting 13 and I was short around 50-60k of being able to fit Kobe in, in my 14-21. I really like Cheese as an option think he could smash it!

Aside from Pereira I don't mind your team.
Looks like a good starting team for the season

Dont think he is Maori or Aborigine.

They need to have a Tonga vs Samoa game the same night, so they can get off too.
