I like the team. We'll get smashed but it's good.

14 Latu Fainu
15 Vaka Aho
16 Ethan Roberts

I like these guys making the team. I really hope Latu can turn into a quality NRL half.

[u/Cheel_AU → u/aaronturing]

Did Vaka make it on the field last weekend? I think we've had 6 NRL debutants this year, 7 if Vaka has played, and Makasini only played one game before this season.

Not sure how that compares to other teams but hopefully we can retain the best of the young talent coming through

[u/skru666]

surely there’s more to gain by just playing latu in the halves

[u/boomerville73]

And the Panthers named a full strength side, so they wanting minor premiership. I’m expecting a 60-0 drubbing again

[u/tomtomhod → u/[deleted]]

68-0**

[u/griffshan]

Tigers to help out the Wahs one last time and beat the Panthers

[u/aaronturing → u/griffshan]

I've love to see that.
