Can we give Blore a run this week please. We only have him this year and next, let’s see what he’s got. Seasons done now anyway considering our run home.

Give Walters the no7, can't be any worse than the underachiever Brooks.

We also need a no1, Dooee isn't a bad player but he's just not a 1, adds very little in attack.
Imo he's a 3,4.
We need some speed, we need an excitement machine at the back, we've got a sloth.

Garner needs a rocket, he's nowhere near the player he was last year, gone backwards.

 

[TigerSJ]

Please don't bring back Jennings or Packer - haven't we seen enough of both these guys? Lawrence did enough to remain in the centres (especially with Staggs return-he will carve us up if we play an inexperienced centre). Benji has to be at 5/8. Reynolds needs to go and we need more impact from our bench so can't afford to carry a utility. If Twal is fit bench should be Huth, Mikaele, Mac and ET( Musgrove when back from injury).

Madden into the team to replace Reynolds.

McIntyre back into the team.

Talau back in and Lawrence stays in the centres.

Twal back if fit.

Thinking about it more I’d be keeping Lawrence at centre and putting Talau wing if he’s fit.

I’ve bagged on Lawrence for years but he was good last night.

Time to make a final call on a few players:

1. Josh Reynolds - over paid and offers nothing apart from "energy", which is often counter productive. He has been a waste of a marquee salary. Madge should tell him straight that he will never see first grade again and for his own career should move on.
2. Brooks - Time to shift him to 5/8 and allow him to run..Bring Jock Madden in to be our long term 7.
3.Mbye - he is not captain material. I've never seen him show ANY leadership on the field. Time to cut him loose after this year, we have Momo and Talau who are cheaper and better centres.
4. Cut the dead wood: - Elijah Taylor, Chris Lawrence, MCK, Packer.Together with McQueen and Mbye thats at least $2.1 m in cap where we can buy a good speedster who can kick goals (Hello Jamaine Isaako) + a hard hitting prop and have money left over for upgrades.
5. Benji - this should be his last year, we need to move on in the halves with a total overhaul - see #2..


Time to give the up and comers more game time such as Blore, Simpkins and Hoffman. We will be lucky to make the 8 this year, for some reason we love being 9th

Yeah he did his job and he did it well. Was impressed to be honest, clearly hasn’t forgotten how to play centre.

Give Walters the no7, can't be any worse than the underachiever Brooks.

We also need a no1, Dooee isn't a bad player but he's just not a 1, adds very little in attack.
Imo he's a 3,4.
We need some speed, we need an excitement machine at the back, we've got a sloth.

Garner needs a rocket, he's nowhere near the player he was last year, gone backwards.

This is the second post I have read of yours - saying AD is not a full back and that he is too slow. Fair enough that is your opinion.

However who is the replacement, all well and good saying no but I want to know who gets the yes.

Shift Nofoaluma to the 1

Watching Doohey is like watching an old bloke in the park doing Yoga

Doohey isn’t a fullback , he’s a centre

Nofa ain’t much faster than Doueihi over 100. Quicker off the mark though but Doueihi hasn’t dropped a ball since being moved to fullback, Nofa wouldn’t be able to do the same. Doueihi is also really tall and Nofa is really short. Really Nofa ain’t a fullback.

Sorry Hobbo I can’t agree at all there. Nofoaluma would be even worse than Thompson was.

AD is good defensively (Nofo isn’t), rarely makes an error (Nofo does) and has a passing game (Nofo doesn’t). Nofo also isn’t a speedster.

Nofo would be a disaster there imo.

Reynolds facing two weeks with the early plea. Guess that solves one issue for Madge.

AND Nofoaluma is not a FB. If that is the answer to our so called FB problem it is not solved.

We are talking next year here - the 2021 + seasons.
