**With 2 weeks off and plenty of training sessions at our disposal:**
It's now time to put Lote at Fullback and play ryan as a winger.
We bought him for that role and I think it is now time to let the big man INTIMIDATE from the back and not the wing.
The more times Tuqiri touches the ball up the middle, then the better our attack will look through the middle.
Ryan has done a pretty decent job at 1, he has played with confidence on most occasions and has DEFENSIVELY been quite solid but he lacks the "instinct" to inject himself into the attack, he is "generally" no where to be seen when the team needs someone running plays off Marshall and Farah. (Slater,Stewart,Hodgo - like???)
I think that Tuqiri would be better suited at playing off the shoulders of Benji and Robbie in attack.
He is a big unit with plenty of pace and some silky hands. He has a tonne of experience and is a little more attack minded than Beau.
1.Tuqiri 2.Ryan 3.Ayshford 4.Lawrence 5.Brown/Fitzy/Daniela/Tuiaki???? 6.Marshall 7\. Lui & 9.Farah
If we can bust through the line up the middle then our wingers become less important (relied on) and kicking from the sidelines would be done a little less often.
I sense that there is a **REAL** confidence issue in the squad at the moment!
Possible Reasons:
*No confidence with the team selections and player positions.
**Pressure of playing Rep footy (for some)
***Attacking plays are too structured - No instinct plays
****Too much pressure to live up to the hype that was around regarding finals/premierships
We need fluidity in Attack, More instinct and natural progression plays than structured pre-meditated moves all the time ( set plays have their place but not for a full 80min)
Your thoughts on this backline re-shuffle?

Triserratops has been thinking….......this could be dangerous!!!
