You know Steve Georgallis is now the coach when you finally see two names in the squad you have wanted to see for quite some time now... even if they are on the extended bench.

1. Lachlan Coote

2. David Simmons

3. Junior Vaivai

4. Brad Tighe

5. Adrian Purtell

6. Travis Burns

7. Luke Walsh

8. Sam McKendry

9. Kevin Kingston

10. Tim Grant

11. Trent Waterhouse

12. Nigel Plum

13. Nathan Smith

Interchange:

14. Nafe Seluini

15. Dayne Weston

16. Matthew Bell

17. Sarafu Fatiaki

18. Ryan Walker

20. Harry Seijka

Hopefully Walker is close to securing a wing spot. Reckon there name is just there for the sake of it though tbh. Seijka should be 5/8 by next season though I reckon.
Thats the best team that could have been named at this time.

 

@Rusty, I was only going to post that anyway.

It would probably work alright Julian. Seijka can play both position quite easily. He is probably only there for cover for Kevin Kingston who has apparently sustained a bit of a hamstring injury. I am just happy to see that Georgallis acknowledges that he is there as is Walker.

He basically went of with a bruised bone (or something like that?) and recovered from it. I think that's why Walker is there this week tbh. Vai Vai will most likely play though

 

Still greater than Burns. It will happen eventually, hopefully by Round 1 next season.

 

Doubt it. He will see out his contract at the very least.

 

Green is better than deadwood

 

Good in attack. Decent passing game, probably better than his kicking game at present. Pretty meh in defence like most halves.

Has a lot of improvement in him but is a very bright prospect.
