Grand Final Forward Pack

[silvertail]

A pack that has been there, done that, with the addition of Symonds to the starting pack!

King
Ballin
Kite
Symonds
Watmough
Stewart

Fa'aoso
Lawrence
Horo
Buhrer

 

[Pepi]

Gulavao in for horo and you're on the money.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Only Lawrence hasn't played in 1 from that list I think, pretty sure Horo was there in 09

 

[Briza]

8: Lawrence
9: Ballin
10: Kite
11: Symonds
12: Watmough
13: Stewart

14: King
15: Gulavao
16: Fa'aoso
17: Buhrer/Horo

the entire bench are better as impact players imo.

Lawrence/ kite first 25-30 mins, king/gulavao untill 60th minute then Lawrence/kite to finish.
both sets of front rowers get to rip in, meaning more impact from our boppers.

 

[Wolfpack]

Yeah, Brenton Lawrence hasn't played in an NRL GF.

Not enough Nood love in this thread.

 

[silvertail]

I love Nood, and couldn't be happier if he were to play in 2013 grand final. Just calling it as I see it after 4 rounds.

My assumption for 2013 grand final is based on injury and suspension free available players. Nood may very well get a run and maybe one other dark horse that is about to make an impression.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

King is always a starter when available for me. Lawrence is going great but I like the tone that King sets early in a match

 

[bones]

Galuvao is in the full strength 17 every day of the week. One of the first chosen IMO.

 

[GraEddie]

I would go with King and Lawrence to start, then bring on Kitey/Nood/Fa'aoso afterwards...you definitely need King there with his aggression at kick-off.

Only Lawrence hasn't played in 1 from that list I think, pretty sure Horo was there in 09

Horo did not play in the 2009 GF. The parramatta pack was Cayless, Keating, Moimoi, Hindmarsh, Smith and Lowrie. Reserves Kingston, Mateo, Galuvao and Mannah

Agree with Pepi, Joe G in for Horo and it's full strength.
