    No Trevor Hosea, no Uelese, no Fainga, no Simone, no Rodda are the big omissions.

    Naisarani played himself back in. Kellaway is a journeyman. The Force have some players in the squad too.

    @bovidae I had to laugh seeing Kellaway named. He's so average.

    Izaia Perese is the best of the newbies IMO.

    LSL is the other lock.

    Leota is a 6 at international level (190cm tall).

    Swinton won't be playing and Perese would be doubtful with injury.

    @bovidae Yeah, Swinton shouldn't get the 50% reduction of the entry point suspension. Doesn't have a clean record. If they do it right, he gets at least 4 weeks off (instead of 3).

    Hilarious. That many from a squad that couldn't win a game.

    @canes4life good squad, but Tupou is overrated.

    He doesn't lose half as many balls in contact and is just as good if not better in the scrum IMO.

    @antipodean he's not better in the scrum IMO, but far more effective everywhere else. Tupou's ruckwork is embarrassingly lazy. For such a big, powerful guy he isnt actually that strong in contact either.
