Bud into the #6 is the most logical.
The challenge is on for him with 2 weeks to make his mark.

Galvin's replacement for Rounds 05 & 06?

Sullivan but very concerned about his defence.
Hopefully we don’t move Sezer to the left as he’s doing well holding down the right side while the left side has Bateman and Olam to protect Bud.

The club should challenge the grading. No way was it on the same level as the Plath tackle.

Hopefully Galvin only cops a fine on the downgrade. If he does get one week would love to see Latu Fainu get a run. He looked outstanding two weeks ago in NSW Cup only played 40 mins but was elite.
Kind of like a pitch restriction for a baseball pitcher where they take them out of the game when they’ve reached a predetermined amount of pitches. Fainu is apparently being restricted to a certain amount of minutes per week right now. Last week it was 40 minutes, yesterday it appeared to be 60ish.
To be fair he’s probably looked more up to it than Sullivan has so far this season…

We need a replacement for Bateman also.
He didn't sing the team song in the sheds.
Dropping offence.

Where is Lovett when we need him?😉
Feledy played very well.
He has definitely trimmed down, played with plenty of energy and was a constant attacking threat.

We need a hooker on the bench. We cannot play Api the full 80 again on a 5 day turn around.

Ian Chappel would often say do what your opponent would least like you to do. The Dolphins would like to run at Sullivan all day. Fainu is a gem.
Yep I agree. Api looks like he’s running on empty. Even his demeanor at the presser and when being interviewed. He gives his all but needs a rest. Simpkin on the bench with Sullivan at 6. Twal in for AJ who goes back to 18.

Feledy has a lot of work to do in his defensive decisions. Carrying the ball strongly has never been his issue.
Latu is definitely not an option at this stage i watched him closely yesterday and didn't seem to get involved a lot almost looked shy .
Sullivan is logical assuming the coaches have fixed up some of the terrible issues he had in Round 2 .Brent Naden looks like he slowly getting back to form and Josh Feledy looked great .Cup is a lower level so don't know if Feledy can make the jump

No way the coaching team don't have contingencies. They will have a plan for his replacement for either suspension or more likely injury. Certainly won't have expected him to play every game.

Think Bud gets in the run on side.
Latu on the bench and if Bud is going nowhere Latu gets limited minutes off the bench to get things going again.
For mine Faataape has the centre spot over Feledy or Naden or Toa at the moment. They all need to do the hard yards in reggies for a while and stand out consistently enough to show they deserve a crack. Injury may see Naden or Toa grab a spot at centre or wing at some point.
