I think Daniela will be a straight swap for Ayshford. Daniela's best position is centre. Not sure if he is the best option, but I'm prepared to give him a chance there.

God no! Tonga will make him look like a school kid!
 
bad luck for injury to Blake Ayshford.
whilst having him in the centres, you got the feeling there would be no major issues there.
hope all goes well for his recovery.
although he does not get alot of raps, he is important part of a potent wests-tigers backline
 
What was the injury to Ayshford?

They could do a few things there. The simplest to not unsettle the team would be Fitzy to wing and Brown inside him. Daniella is another option but I dont know about his defence. The other option could be to shift Lawrence to mark up against Tonga and play Tuamata on the other side. You also have option of shifting Moltzen there but again, he shouldnt be moved from 7 just yet, and Tonga would probably make him look like a dill…

Benji, Tuamata & Tuqiri would be devastating on the left...
 
Hmm…geez Ayshford had a few troubles yesterday,but he's way better than that.Would've love to see him try and redeem himself against Tonga..Tonga was great the other night and for a while too.

Daniella concerns me...

Me think Sheens will move Brown to the centres to accommodate Daniella or Fitzy on the wing..hope not...because I'm liking the bench.I think sheens has got it right for the moment.

Oh and don't change Flannagans role..he's going great guns..Just like to see him get a bit game time.

Medial ligament. Gone for at least a month most likely. I'd rather not see Fitzy on the wing. He's too slow and defensively did not read the game well against the Roosters. I'd rather see Brown move to the centres and Pritchard come onto the wing, or Davis come into the centres and Brown stay on the wing. Daniela will be nothing more than a speed bump for Tonga. Flanagan might be an option…It would allow Sheens to recall Moors to the bench.

Taumata did not play on the weekend as his ankle is still crook, I wouldn't count on seeing him play this week.

I think those are probably the best options that you listed.
 
i dont want to see this but
1\. moltzen
3\. ryan
7\. lazarus

is a huge possibilty now or maybe blake at FB, i dunno sheens never does the commom sense thing so ive got no idea what to expect
 
Just watched the replay of the game on IQ.

Blakes knee looked to buckle when he took Crocker in that tackle. Literally seconds on the clock. Such a harsh injury
 
Have to leave Ryan at 1.
I would love to see Flanagan tried in the centres.
The more I see of him the more I think he has what it takes to be a world class centre.
Put him there to fill in for Ayshford & I think he'll be there for a long time to come.
Ayshford would then be perfect for Sheens' utility role when he's fit where he would be very effective.
 
1.Ryan
3.Brown
5.Fitzhenry

17.Daniela

I don't necessarily agree with it though i think thats what we'll see. I'd like to see…

1.Ryan
3.Brown
5.Fitzhenry

17.Lazerus

Davis is the man to stop Tonga with his solid defence.

Give the bloke a shot. Promote the human wrecking ball. How refreshing it would be to replace a Centre with a Centre, rather than attempt to make-shift a player which would only disturb the balance and dynamic of the side.

Davis has been biding his time and has been one of the most consistent players in the Reserve Grade competition.

Leave Ryan at Fullback, leave Moltzen 7 and for the love of the good Lord above, leave Brown on the wing. Do not shift him to the centres. Tonga will be a handful and an enthusiastic Davis with a point to prove could be a masterstroke.

Thats taking pessimism to whole a new level. I actually cant recall Tonga ever tearing us to shreds.
 
Geez, if you just looked at this thread without knowing rugby league you'd think Tonga is Hayne, Marshall, and Thurston rolled into one!

They just need someone with good lateral defense and they'll hold their own.
