Halves Pairing

We have no halves fit for the Broncos game, Anasta and Marshall are injured and they seemed to be working well together. With those injuries I think it opens a door for us, this may be a blessing in disguise. We may be able to give Luke Brooks a go at halfback and see how well he does. Play him at Half with Molten at 5/8\. He may be rocks and he may be diamonds, I am willing to give him a go and if he goes well let him stay there.
 
IMO most difficult ..and important decision of the year so far..think it is a fair bet that Sirro will be 5/8 and it seems there are only 2 options for 1/2\. Miller or Brooks. A pity State Cup was canceled on Saturday cause it would have given an insight into how Miller was going without the pressure of R&B. As I think it is too early for Brooks and Miller has trained & played with the NRL team for all but 2 games I would give him the chance.
 
It's not like he stood out a mile or anything. I wouldnt be surprised if potter went with a benji anasta pairing and let sirro develop his game as a back rower/lock because i simply cant see a spot in the halves for him without injuries considering whats coming through the club atm.
 
Benji is still listed for a return in R9, and Anasta as R10\. So Potter will be needing something else to name for the next few weeks.
 
And did nothing unfortunately.Brooks kicking game is great but I think defensively he would be a liability.

Think the thread is about Broncos game pHyR3 so I doubt Benji and Anasta will be playing. Question is who would you put in their place for this game?

Sironen is not a 5/8 nor a 1/2 back. Not by a long way.

Thats also what I think, I think Second Row would suit him most. If we have him at lock we would probably have to decide between him and Santi.

oh right, my bad. didnt think it was in the broncos thread so assumed it was general. Moltz and sirro; need a talker and moltz is one and we need experience which moltz has. Miller needs a lot more time in nsw cup to build confidence i reckon. He'll probably move to the dragons next season in any case.

Spot on Col,he has no organising skillls,a limited kicking game,and no feel for the game,he is a backrower.
And Anasta is no halfback either,probably not a 6 as well,time to let Brooks have a go,he could not be worse than Anasta or what Sirro is dishing up.

Rubbish….he has played 6 for years,has a long boot and a nice pass.

I have seen none of this,and he is not what we are looking for,he goes missing for large parts of the game,he is a backrower who doesn't need to think much,he is no play maker.
 
Why not put Lawrence at 5/8 with Moltzen at 1/2? We have a number of young promising centres who could fill in against the Broncos.
 
Lawrence shouldn't be in the NRL side, let alone as a playmaker.

If we want to be realistic a Miller & Sironen combination is the most viable considering the Tedesco injury.

Farah does the bul of our playmaking and it would give Miller a chance to put it on the line and prove whether he is up to it. All Sironen has to do is run lines and get his passing game on point and we should be fine

You obviously havent seen much of him.

He played 6 about 3 hours ago. For city, but he is still probably more suited to back row

Based on what?

He is tall…..played a nuffy rep game where no one passed him the ball.

Please.....the experts on here are high on crack.
