Wet weather in Sydney this week and forecast for wet weather on Friday night
IMO that will definitely favour the Tahs approach.

Hearing chat around Suali’i starting in 15 this week. Interesting to see after the Wallabies introduced him to the international game as a 13.
Personally, I think he’s similar to a Folau where you can put him anywhere from 12 out and he will be just fine. I’m sure his name has been highlighted all week in Landers HQ. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

I reckon the Joseph Sua'ali'i may impact selections. The potential of the cross field kicks could reduce the potential for Hurley to make the bench. We don't want a near 2M Sua'ali'i jumping for the ball against one of the smallest backs in the comp. Wouldn't have been surprised if they used Josh Whaanga and Kyan Rangitutia as a kick catcher at training as well. Get them jumping against the starting wingers and Gilbert as the closest players build wise to Suail'i. Him on a wet night may be quite scary.
Looks like conditions will be quite damp. So potentially a lot of kicking from Millar and Gilbert. One off running from the bash brothers in the midfield. Might be the sort of game where a 6 - 2 bench may be quite useful.

Three major selection shocks in there!

@SouthernMann i get it, and love that fact some people pay for and get that early info...its just the hints and shit to others....like im not sure what we're achieving...we're not talking about anything

Some interesting selection for week 1. JJ focused on a strong second half and bringing some impact on through Fakatava to lift the energy. Exciting team. Keep in mind Fakatava missed a fair chunk of pre season due to injury so an easing him back in approach makes sense.

What's the point in having a membership if you can't share with your fellow Ferners.

The more people that support the franchise, the better resourced it can be. Why also give something away for free that you pay for.

Lol Fakatava falls behind Hastie.

For those of us that don't directly support the Landers but want the inside information.

@SouthernMann im fine with not giving it away, youve paid for it and its worth the money to you...its just the coming on just to point out you have "the inside word", why not just wait until we can actually talk about things?

Wouldn’t read into that at all. As I said above, it’s been stated he didn’t work through a full pre season so I suspect they’ll manage his minutes the first few weeks.
The more interesting selection is Manson getting a starting spot after being promised a bench spot!
