2nd Row

I’d have schuster at second row left. Move suli across to Garrick’s wing. Keep Parker left centre. Move walker from fullback to right centre as that gives us another ball player on the right side that we desperately need. Get Harper to fullback. I think this balances our attack way better.
 
Gosiewski barring one mistake was fine. The players outside him got the ball too.

Schuster was good at second row... not yet sure if it's his best position, but he didn't look out of place there at all. Maybe he'll be given a bit of licence to ball play as we know he can.

Those are my starting second rowers for next week.
 
Can't see it, but this is how we should line up next week.....maybe.

Harper, Saab, Parker, Walker, Suli, Foran, Cherry-Evans, Paseka, Croker, Taupau, Gosiewski, Schuster, Trbojevic. Bench - Cust, Aloiai, Keppie, Sipley.

I wonder though ... what price we get a surprise Turbo boost at fullback?

He missed 6 tackles!
 
Burbo is far from first grade. He got bullied in our trial, might have to put more size i reckon. As for Parker at second row, I don't mind it. It kinda works because he's a really good and tough hole runner. He also improved from last game, and actually muscled up in defence, although he is still too slow to be defending out wide so moving him one in will take him out from having to defend quick outside backs.
He’s big enough, but yeah he did get hammered in the trial. He’s young and will get stronger. He’s 6 months away I reckon. His issue from the trial was getting back on side after making a tackle. 1st grade is much faster around the ruck and the young blokes get caught out.
 
The young blokes tuitavake and fainu may get a look in as forward rotation, although tuitavake is injured too I think.
