what a change it would be if we had a fit squad to pick from, we look strong with a fit squad but over the last few years this as hardly happened

I'm a firm believer in people earning a spot and a players reputation meaning nothing, they have to show their worth to their new club. So I'd have a similar team to this year with the likes of Matagi and Turner on the bench until we see some class and possibly Evalds on the wing as I think it unfair to boot O'Brien out after he's been good for us just because Evalds is the bigger name. But assuming they all perform as you would expect:

Evalds
Eden
Turner
Mata'utia
Feki (Olpherts if Feki is unfit)
O'Brien
Richardson
Watts
McShane
Matagi
Blair
Holmes
O'Neill

Massey
Millington
Hepi
Trueman

Wouldn't mind if Trueman started but I think O'Brien just has that bit more going forward.

To be fair, that back 5 of Evalds, Feki, Mata'utia, Turner and Eden on paper, doesn't look too bad at all. Pace and power.

They always look good on paper. Wait till we get a couple of weeks away from kick of. That's when the bandages and crutches will be appearing like they always seem to. Oh he was injured in training. He got injured going to fish shop and he got hit with a boomerang. Lol
Just wait.

The OP was asking what your 17 would be if all were fit, not your opinion on their opinion.

What would your 17 be, if everyone was available, for the first game?
