Team List
Good Security as soon as Brooks makes his first clanger to put us on the backfoot, hook him
 
@ThaDaBoss pretty new to this forum thing so don't know how to reply to your comment. I agree with your take about peach however all the top sides have a ball playing 13 which we don't have. And with how the game is being played I think is a ball playing 13 is crucial to attacking success. I want hastings there when douihei comes back but in the meantime peach is the only player that can really fit that mould.

Hastings is our only real option as 7 though. Brooks can't steer the ship and Madden needs more experience playing at 6 without all of the responsibility yet. AD to come back in the centres for mine especially as he can ease his body back into footy from centre
 
I wonder if Brooks replaces Simpkin at 9 when he tires out..

I think Cleary dropped Brooks to the bench once but otherwise he's always been our starting 7 if available since debut

The thing is though Madden this past couple of weeks has basically been taking all the responsibility because Brooks hasn't.

He won’t be ‘easing’ back in out in the centres. He will be absolutely targeted, will let in lots of tries and will be too buggered to attack.
Has to come back as the benchie.

That's on Brooks IMO. It's disgraceful a bloke on $950k a year will drift through without putting in and forcing a rookie kid to do his best to take on Brooks's job
 
Am I the only one that thinks we need to play peachey at 13? Nowadays you need a ball playing lock which joffa doesn't offer. Move either joffa or twal to prop peach 13 & **** tamou off. Also we need to get Seyfarth more involved.

Nope

Madge has showed shocking coaching with peach

AJ and Douhie in the centre will make a big difference.
 
Welcome back Jackson!!!
I wouldn't wish to see Jock thrown in the deep end tbh especially because people are sick of Brooks. We're coming up against a Top 4 team that will probably bash us up the middle and tire us out quite easily. So on that note, can understand Brooks at 6 as he's a good defender. Also Liddle and Gildart being dropped, as they clearly struggle in defence.
Besides our attack is crap and I don't think people are really taking notice that Jock no offence doesn't bring that much either. That's not to say he hasn't been going well with his progress but rather that we're in that much shit that we look to any little positives as our best option.
Hope to see some variation and less handling errors.
We've not been throwing much at anyone and if the spine can somehow gel, we may put up a fight. We may not match it in the forwards with many teams and struggle to get our of our own end but they've been doing enough to give us good possession, we just need to start doing something with the ball and learning how best to score points.

Am however a fan of T'oa on the wing.

Wouldn't be suprised if Brooks is hooker cover to give simpkin a spell and bring Jock in.
