I’m not worried about fullback.
Right centre though…AD may end up back out there.

Api looked to fatigue very quickly as plenty of players do as they get older.
There is no way we can play him for 80mins each week.
I’d be happy with Tristan Hope playing 15mins before and after halftime, he plays with high energy and hits hard in defence for a smaller man.

How far off is Haywood do you think Vicious?
 
Vicious said:
I think he’s a must selection, his energy will be a bonus leading up to and after halftime and he’s definitely bulked up a bit from last season meaning he is now hitting much harder in defence.

With the 6 man bench it gives a bit more flexibility with Api. If we’re playing with momentum you probably get 80 out of him and can sit his replacement all game.

Api cannot play more than 50 mate. He hasn’t been able to for years.

are you saying he is to slow ,and an arm grabber

No I’m saying if opponents look like beating him for speed he has the long levers to reel them in.
I knew he had talent from watching him play for Qld U/19’s last season, but he has far outweighed my expectations so soon.

Doueihi needs to take some lessons from Madden.
1) kick flatter and to vacant grass. Play the game in their half (said this last week]
2) stand the backline deeper when in attacking zone [said this last week also]
Did anyone notice when we stood deep [2nd half] Penrith run forward, but WT were too far away, SO THEY STOPPED, like rabbits in your headlights. So, with silky hands and feet from Andrews, we scored. Amazing! Rocket science at Leichhardt.

And dig into the defence as a ball player. Madden keeps getting whacked just as he passes, and the guys outside him are deep as you point out, and have more time. Doueihi takes those tackles because he's thinking run. That sums up their different strengths for me.

Doueihi definitely more proven in FG as a player overall and has to start as Jock may well shine every pre season but hasn't really killed it in multiple opportunities in prior seasons.

Tend to agree but we can’t be tolerating too many basic errors like giving away cheap 20m restarts. His game management needs to improve to hold the spot.

I’m confident we are strong in the forwards this season.
We have those 3 important players to come into the team and all of our forwards look a bit stronger and more physical this season, particular out younger and emerging players.
