Steamers 2020
-
Given who played on Friday and who was seen in the facebook video this is my probable team for what its worth :-
Hookers :- Ekland, Vella, Souchen, Harris.
The question is "What is the injury situation with Harris?" He hasn't played for a while and never featured in the preseason game.Props :- Ross, Thwaites, Mafilio, Geldenhys, Kumeroa, Lay.
A reasonable assumption.Locks:- Leau Pepe, Carrol, Mewett, Van Den Hoven.
They all featured yesterday so I assume will be namedLoosies :- Cane, Karpik, Tupe, Kapelli, Johnson, Blake, Dickson.
Last year they carried eight loosies but I'm guessing Carrol can fill in. I'm assuming Dickson will be a loose forward. He never played yesterday.Halfback :- TTT, Campbell, Carter.
Toma played yesterday but I'm not sure if they will take four halfbacks unless they think TT will be called into the ABs or someone is carrying an injury. ( Carter never played yesterday ).First five :- Black, Trask, Holinshead.
A reasonable assumption.Backs:- Forbes, TiaTia, Narawa, Garland, Ware, Curry, Fuatai, Webber, Lalomilo.
LaloMilo is the only one who never played yesterday so I'm unsure of his selection.So, what does everyone think ? Who have I missed or have added incorrectly ?
-
@Snollygoster What about Baden Wardlaw and the Mua brothers?
-
Wardlaw has retired with a neck problem I understand. Ajay Mua hasn't been spotted this year and his brother is playing in the Waikato.
-
@Snollygoster Cheers, had forgotten about Wardlaw retiring. Really sad situation.

-
Yupp Hetet was the only one I didn't know about but makes sense with only 5 other props and hopefully we don't see too much of him as that will mean our first-choice players are out.

Assume that is only due to sevens being covided?
Didn't know that was midfielder in 15s.
Wow, that's a peculiar fern quote!! I had no idea why that was asked of me.
I need to work on my quoting too, I guess

He has been playing for Otorohanga this season (was listed at hooker in the club SF). I assume he played for Waikato on Friday but obviously it wasn't him.

Because I was too lazy to go back to the original and just cut and pasted from your post.
