I actually see AD as more of a wide-running option in the back row because of the exact qualities you’ve mentioned. I don’t think lock is his position at all like you. Being in the middle will stunt his running game.

Well I couldn’t have been more wrong 🤣. I thought it was crazy to play AD, and he had a blinder. Our defence was good after the first 25 and our young outside backs adjusted well during the game. That was the most impressive part - Makasini in defence, Tavana under the high ball and putting...

Way too many errors. This will be a blood bath.

There’s no way AD plays. Even if it was just a strain, you wouldn’t risk him aggravating the hamstring issue this early in the season. Jock will play 7 and Latu will play 6.

Yeah completely agree. A few very selfish plays and burnt tackles.

Absolutely and the messed up thing about it is he’s slow. There were opportunities to exploit a quick ptb but he waited and allowed the defence to set, before trying to dummy and run. We burnt so many tackles in the middle with one out runs in Souths red zone. It was embarrassing.

This has to be the go. I honestly thought Hope was slow at dummy half last night. Killed our momentum.

Our attack and shape back to being shit. No direction or organisation.

Sheens signed Anasta so he could play halfback 😂. Probably proves your point that Sheens would always overthink and be too creative.

I think the biggest flaw in the 2010/2011 side was the absence of a game managing half. Lui was a runner, not really a natural game manager that Sheens tried to convert. Honestly think Prince was the glue that held the 2005 side together. Agree that 2010/2011 was probably a better side though...

I’m honestly not entirely sure. I’d say Roberts could be our long term lock but he’s injured I think. I’d put Sione Fainu there over Twal but I guess Fainu coming off the bench and pushing Twal into prop isn’t too bad of an idea. Latu is ideal I think it’s his best position but he’s out too.

Great lineup but I’m not too keen on Twal at lock. Apart from that I’m looking forward to seeing how we go against a strong Panthers side.

He’s a good back up and speaks to the depth that’s been built in our squad over the last season. He had some good games with Brisbane as a backup. Shows the club is in a good position with AD, Latu then Jock. Agree with your sentiment but good signs.

Good win by our young guns. Looked sharp in attack at points. Hopefully translates to a promising future.

I’m excited about seeing some of the up and coming kids in action. I’ve completely changed my view on trials. I used to think they should be used to get combinations and match fitness up and use form to springboard into the season. But I guess now I’m just glad if we don’t get any injuries...
