Terrible news if Gallants facebook is true :frowning: It matches his face when he was on the sidelines though. He looked very upset.
Whilst I would love to see Lui come in at 5/8 this is not the right time for it to happen. Collis will have to stay at centre and pick his game up defensively. He's probably better in attack than Ayshford atm because Ayshford needs to learn when to pass the ball but Ayshford's defence is far better.
Lawrence at 1 could be anything but the most important thing will be how well he positions himself defensively against kicks. esp. attacking kicks. That was Gallants huge strength & we will miss that.
- Spot on regarding Lui… wrong time of the year...
- However i think the link game between Lawrence and TNT is crucial to the tigers putting on points... we struggles against the Roosters to score (we were unlucky on 3 instances i know...) but with 60% possession... should have turned on more points i thought. I'd be playing Collis at fullback and tell him to start tackling lower as he i shrugged off too easy (I remember him being a pretty effective tackler, but it seems a distant memory...
- **Regarding Ayshford I think it's obvious the players do not have faith in giving Ryan the ball...** Ayshford isn't the only bloke guilty of holding onto it instead of passing to Ryan... Marshall does the same thing a lot of the time. (I'm not having a dig at his game either this week... he played well and for the first time this year I'm VERY happy to see him playing next week.)
