Changes

[Flippedy]

Would you make any changes to the line up next week? If so where? More to the point, will JT make any? He's been reluctant to make any wholesale changes so far this year, but surely the time is coming.

 

[Geo]

No

 

[fergiefurr]

Lawrence gone for nofo. Lovett gone for halatau to start. Cherrington on the bench. Sue to start, Galloway to bench.

I would love to be able to say we had one more prop, that way we could send Sue back out to protect Moses, but Buchannen isnt the answer.

I have grave fears of every team trying to emulate Cordner from here on out.

 

[happy_tiger]

That side should be better suited v Newcastle , and the following week we play Cowbees at home less Scott ,Thurston ,Taumalolo ,Bolton

We just need to be smarter and trust in JT's tactics

The only change I would make is placing Sue at second row to give Moses defensive protection and Lovett back to the bench.

Other then that, we copped exactly what I expected we would tonight and everyone deserves another chance against a team we should beat if we want to make the top 8.

A repeat scoreline next week would be worrying though..

Yeah I agree I would put Sue into start mainly just because he is bigger, stronger, more experienced and given we had 4 rookies in a row tonight - Moses, Hoeter, Lovett, Naquiama we need some more experience on that side at least until Nofo gets some match time mayby 2 or 3 games in NSW cup

JTs tactics, after tonights game where cordner ran at Moses all night and Guerra ran at Brooks all night and gave him a few extra taps following brooks' kicks, someone needs to help each of these blokes in defence otherwise every team is going to target them, secondly where possible selected forwards need to run hard at eg cordiner and Guerra to knock them around a bit and also target them in defence, it's a fine balance as there are obviously other opposition players who have to be defended against as well but as soon as the coach is able to recognise who has been tasked to target our halves then they need to have some heat turned back on them. Possession control is another way to limit opportunities for the opposition to target our halves and finally defence, some of our defence tonight was poor with easts taking the ball up the field easily regularly. \not every opposition will have the third party arrangements to be able to fund a strong forward pack and bench like easts obviously have but nonetheless lesser opposition teams will no doubt use our halves as turnstyles if they can.

Moses to play at fullback, wing and centre? Come on, he's not that good :laughing:

 

[Newtown]

Bring Koro back. We also need to stop the turnstyles in the halves. Bring back Blake Austin and give Drinkwater a first grade jersey.

 

[Regan]

The change let the boys start to use there attacking skills

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Taupau off the bench, where he's starred both for us and New Zealand was nowhere as effective tonight

 

[tig_prmz]

The only change I'd make is halatau to start instead of Lovett. I've been asking for that for a while though so this game hasn't had much effect in that regard.

Did anyone else see Lawrence's hit on JWH?? God, I reckon he would kill it in the middle.

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

Bring Koro back.

Were you hoping we'd concede more tries off bombs?

 

[marzie]

Halatau in at 12\. Nofo at wing. Kev at centre, kevin played some of the second half at centre tonight

 

[Tuiaki_Chicken_Wings]

Tbh, look at Sironen's stats, he is not showing any signs of progression. 7 runs in 80 mins, Kyle had less mins and more runs? I don't see the hype at all. Both our second rowers fail to bring much to the table, don't strike fear into any team. Unfortunately we are short on good second rowers, Sue needs to come back out on the edge. As for a bench replacement thats anyones guess.

 

[TJL]

Time for Wobbie to retire.

 

[VanillaThunder]

Sue and Sita our back row. Nofo for Hoeter and Kev to centre.
Sirro to the bench to make him actually run the ball on something other than a face ball off Brooks.

None of this will actually happen though, I'm expecting the same 17.
