Turbos:
15 Sam Malcolm, 14 Michael Tagicakibau, 13 Rob Thompson, 12 Hamish Northcott, 11 Junior Laloifi, 10 Otere Black, 9 Jamie Booth, 8 Brice Henderson, 7 Antonio Kiri Kiri, 6 Liam Mitchell, 5 Tom Hughes, 4 Liam Hallam-Eames, 3 Michael Alaalatoa, 2 Sam Stewart, 1 Fraser Armstrong.
Reserves: 16 Gene Syminton, 17 Faalelei Sione, 18 Sean Paranihi, 19 Nic Crosswell, 20 Brad Tucker, 21 Kayne Hammington, 22 Jade Te Rure, 23 James Tofa
This is an updated, reshuffled squad, with Te Rangatira Waitokia ruled out due to a neck injury.
From the original team naming:
Fullback Junior Laloifi (concussion), first five eighth Jade Te Rure (elbow) and wing Michael Tagicakibau (hamstring) have all been cleared for the match. Coach Jeremy Cotter has named one of his strongest sides of the season for the week seven Mitre 10 Cup clash. Props Fraser Armstrong and Michael Alaalatoa return to the starting side, while Tom Hughes has been names at lock to partner Liam Hallam-Eames. Antonio Kiri Kiri and Brice Henderson return to the starting XV. Jamie Booth gets another crack at the No 9 jersey with Otere Black retaining the starting duties at first five-eighth. Hamish Northcott will partner Rob Thompson in the midfield with Tagicakibau and Te Rangatira Waitokia on the wings and Laloifi at fullback. Te Rure will make his return via the bench. Tim Cadwallader remains side lined with a calf injury and Sam Wasley is still battling back from his knee injury. Second five-eighth Ngani Laumape is back training with the Turbos after recovering from the knee injury he picked up while playing for the All Blacks against Argentina. He is a possibility to be available for the side’s match against Shield Snorters, depending on how his knee handles the training load.

Why didn’t we take the lineout at the end? Does Trask normally bang them over from 50m at training, or did we not know the (relatively) new rules?
Did you see the reserve hooker throwing? He had already missed an uncontested 4 ball

I saw how far the ball landed from the posts, given there were three other options to get closer to the line/posts with ball in hand... even with dubious lineouts!
Second game in a row that none of the team will remember fondly.
