Hit Hastings and Ponga with everything early , hurt them in tackles and get in there faces , ruff them up a tad

The Ponga Head thing is a real issue - any high shots on him will end badly for us. As for Hastings, he is so slow he will be crunched by the 20-minute mark.
That was more than a cramp from what I saw…calf injury…

I don't expect any changes made. Sheens will give every player at least 4-6 weeks pending any injuries. if anything you'd be hoping to see a response in attack and attitude.
Or centre, we’ll need someone to contain Gagai else he’ll tear us a new one

Agree , all high shots will be watched , but hitting them hard and driving them back is all we need to do legally of course , Dolphins showed how to hit hard and leave them on the ground , we need to have high intensity from the kick off lock the ball up in tackles and our forwards need to bend the line , Klemmer will be up for it so should the others like Papi , Twal , Blore

As much as I hate to say I'd be sticking with the same team to see if they can gel.
Brookes and Laurie must be on notice, however. Same crap this and next week and then I''s have Staines for Laurie and Wakeham for Brookes. I'd consider Laurie on the wing but Brookes shakes hands with whoever will shake them.
If we do lose the next couple and we don't make those changes, it'll be a rinse and repeat of last year when they go on having already lost the match in their heads.

They will stick with the current team but some of those decisions were poor from the start. Talau over To'a is a joke.

They weren't game fit but some of Brooks mistakes were atrocious.

Maybe stick Brooks on him and they can renew acquaintances !

I hope your right but I have a feeling he has a point to prove and will be doing anything and everything in his power to prove it. I think we may see the classic " ex wests star carves up his former club" headlines on Monday.
so he'll touch the ball 90 times for no attacking plays instead of his usual 80?

I hope so.
Only change I would make is Tommy T who I've been supportive of seemed a bit lost
He topped error count with 3 and severe cramps is a sign of not being match fit
Laurie ,Papalii and Brooks had 2 errors each and I assume they will be better vs Knights .
Who comes in for Talau ? Toa or one of our fit and hungry cup backs ?
Other errors Nofo ,Staines, Naden,Stephano and Kepoa 1 each total 14 .
We have to hold on to the ball

Agree. Move AJ to the centres and then bring in Bateman on the bench.

I’m starting to believe you ST. Certainly seems to be a bogey place for us at present.
Maybe big crowd and high expectation too much, which doesn’t augur well for Sunday( although I think there will only be half the crowd this week).
Fingers crossed they can turn it around.

When ? This year , yep and I think the master plan is to have 5 or 6 next year at both LO and CS to have our dual home bases locked in.
