Should be lock. He is smarter then Bateman and will play to the teams needs. Bateman at lock is to erratic.

I agree with this. I’d be moving Bateman back to second row and maybe Blore to lock. Bateman is too small for 80 minutes in the middle.

 

[Hbom]

Disagree

Bateman is returning good stats, but is having a lessened impact on his last two games.
We must remove him from lock immediately. He has become a target.

This is what I'd do, too

Blore probably had his best half of football for us, but the talk is he is on his way out. We need a genuine lock so we can play Bateman on an edge. We also need another impact prop.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Pole back to lock and Blore to bench!

Ice isn’t a lock Parra tried him there and it didn’t go well defensively isn’t up to it and not fit enough. His best attribute is running good lines and breaking tackles on the right side with a powerful right foot step. It’s no surprise his best game has come since he has moved to the right where he should’ve been all along

 

[Lukic]

Bateman at lock in attack and Blore at lock in defence makes sense. Bateman is the best ball-playing forward we've got but too small to play a full game in the middle, while Blore's got the size of a front rower and can easily play big minutes in the middle defensively. Then just name Matamua on the bench who can rotate in.

Keep Papali'i on the right edge where he's doing well.

Totally agree with the above posters. First game back on his favoured right edge and he plays his best game in our colours.

Very ordinary player

Far from it… he’s been the best back rower in the comp the past two years but our halves are that dog crap no one knows how to use him properly. He’s gone from playing outside Moses & Brown to Brooks, Wakeham & Will Smith LOL

Can't blame halves for being lazy in defence and for not helping his halves defend as much as he should. Good backrowers are body guards in defence. Paps is lazy too often.

I disagree… there’s been multiple times this season he’s put in try saving efforts on defence & one effort unfortunately cost us the game against Canberra. Will Smith didn’t help him tonight either with his pathetic attempts at making tackles.

I don't blame the halves for his performances but I think he has been decent and he has definitely improved since the start of the season.

Our pack in general though isn't performing as good as what it should be.

Paps had 2 good years at parra
the Warriors years he was average

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Moses put him in a hole every game. Just us

 

[Telltails]

Victim of a crap side with no incentive to play well - season over, numerous players given the tap or moving on, and best players injured. Not the environment to measure any decent player. On a hiding to nothing.

Blair vibes

No one player is able to carry a poor team. Andrew Johns Knights were once running last when the stars started retiring.

Yep and surely we have learned by now that moving them onto another club because of ridiculous expectations only weakens WTS while strengthening others and making us look more inept.
