Farlow to hooker

Please.

We cant have Mosada in the team. His defence is shocking and he ruins our attack. Farlow is sharp, defends like a machine, and will give good service.
 
Masada threw a lot of forward passes today which he usually does but the refs missed it for some reason. He should not be picked,
 
I am not opposed to this. There is a lot of Fensom or Tongue is Farlow.

However, I thought Iosefa was very good today. He had us moving forward very well with quick, simple service.

Not a fan of him but the timing of this thread is not right given that it is off the back of a good performance.

I love the idea of farlow to be the backup hooker. Definitely would give good service and defense is easily first grade quality.
And it's not like isoefa has a kicking game anyway

Iosefa wasnt bad today, fairly controlled just a couple of stuff ups….

We get a line break and split the D in the first half...he gets to dummy half on a quick ptb and takes off - 20 out - but doesnt even look for support....kills the play

Another occasion one of our blokes held up in the tackle by two panthers defenders...theyr not moving...ref calls held just as he decides to push them all over...there was no movement so he woulnt get any momentum, he just ended up getting a slower ptb

....but other than that he wasnt bad, his service is quick - its the communication or lack of that slows things

No to farlow in a crucial possy in game 2
will he play 80?
no
we'll need 2 hookers
poor idea

It's actually very effective in getting good go forward. That's the best part of his game .

The worst - defence and that so many of his passes are borderline forward.

Think Luani is the answer..hooker playing 13 in State Cup. Very strong defence and gives quick simple service when playing hooker (excuse the pun). No disservice to Robbie but If this happens it will give our play makers more time and width and give the opposition something different to think about.

He made 55 of them today playing 73 minutes according to nrlstats.com.au

He played well today. The team went forward after the poor start. He had a few shakey passes but overall a great effort.

We need to play two hookers regardless.

The majority of the second half Masada wasn't in at DH because he was stuffed and whilst Meaney did a good job filling in it ruins the flow of the team. There were many opportunities starting to open up in the middle but rather then trailing and following the forwards our fullback was concentrating on organising the next ruck
 
Maybe start a Fulton or Farlow at hooker in Brisbane and bring Iosefa off the bench half way through the half. Its not ideal, but they could both slip back into the second row and Iosefa gets to have the blow at half time after 20\. For me its a better option than wasting a bench spot for a second hooker.

Broncos dont have much spark at present and will be looking to dominate us up the guts. A full forward rotation on the bench will help us, and you dont lose on interchange this way.

nah, id prefer masada.
 
Haven't seen Farlow play hooker, but people say he can, so I'd be up for it. The idea Black n White had was alkso a good idea. Mosada made 55 tackles, that certainly takes it out of you, give him a break. Yeah his performance wasn't like Farahs, but whos is. He played well and gave good ball. A mention to Meany who helped out in this position too, onya mate.
 
My problem with him is whilst he wasn't picked up on it against panthers he was looking blindside then when passing back to the middle taking too long and passing forward. I'm sure the refs will have reviewed the game and be out to catch him on this against broncos
