Second row. Sutton is the big question mark.

There was a rumour that Barrett wanted Koroisau to play 80 minutes so it sounds like that is the case. Mind you if he plays 80 minutes I can see him missing 10 tackles a game haha.

If they average more than 50 points, then 5 points undervalued is OK. Otherwise you want more

I reckon that's a dead easy call. Whitehead is a dependable minute player in a settled team, with room to improve from a better position.

Harris is a former gun who's taken the money to go to the League's worst team in a pack of disarray, where his ability to TB off quality halves disappears.

One has upside risk, the other only down. I'm taking Whitehead all day.

Likely round 1 team?
Dylan Walker still a month or so away. Anyone else who could force their way into the team?

Does he even make the 17 when Souths are at full strength. I don't think he does.

Turgess, Cook, Surgess, Fuimaono, Crichton, Murray
Bench - Doueihi/Farah, Turner, Gurgess/Musgrove, Sutton/Clark

What do we think the Tigs pack will look like?  Surely he'd be locked in for an 80 second row spot.

I'd be surprised if Kikau keeps a fit CHN out of the starting team. Think he's a short term option.

The one game he scored two tries he only played 55 minutes. The rest are on par for a mobile 2nd rower. The interesting thing is the tackle breaks that he racked up. That is what is more interesting. Nathan Brown seems to have found his way into every team, however I think his 80 mnute games last year will not be the standard and he will eventually play around 65 and average what he is priced at.

I think Moeroa will play some time in the middle during games and Kenny Edwards will step up with bigger minutes. I have been looking for Nathan Brown alternatives as a POD. Every man and his dog has him but he does not necessarily have a guaranteed upside, even though he is a fantastic player.
