Don't rule out Vaeliki
Brian Smith has warned fans not to read too much into David Vaeliki's demotion to the interchange bench, saying the Kiwi international "got knocked around in our last [trial] game".
The Sydney Morning Herald describe the inclusion of Kativerata and the move of Matt Peterson to the centres as "one of last night's most intriguing team selections".
However, Smith said that Fijian winger Kativerata deserved his selection.
"He just suits what we're doing at the moment: big and strong and fast and aggressive. He reaches the physical components quite easily that we're looking for."
