14. Blore
15. Joe O
16. Pole
17. Tumeth

I think Bateman is out till round 4 at this point but as long as brooks is at 7 he shouldn't be in our side he should be a 6

 

[Roar_Power]

We need a genuine ball playing 13. Once the ball goes from the middles to the edges everything just feels miss-timed.

Would be happy to commit to Matamua. He'll make mistakes but he'll give much better ball to our two 5/8s

Can we blood Fa'agutu early?

Douehei just needs to run with the ball. Toupou is a beast. AJ is a superior beast. Brooks just needs to run with the ball. Wakeham will throw in a bad one but on percentage he has to be there so Brooks and AD can just run with the ball. Also kicks goals. Twal is having his best season. Klemmer always commits. Matamua gives 100%, as does Pole and Joffa. Laurie can provide a spark without being under pressure.

wakeham

For Doueihi??

 

[king_sirro]

AJ?
Naden is more threatening in the centres if he can get some early ball and Douiehi out of 6 into the centres where he can focus more on just running or a simple draw and pass.

If Bateman plays, either AJ or Blore to bench and I'd go Blore for now.

I'm a little lost as to why you rating Naden better then AJ means AJ misses out? Of course Naden stays. No way Toa beats AJ for a spot.

I think Bateman is out till round 4 at this point but as long as brooks is at 7 he shouldn't be in our side he should be a 6

then you move AD from 6 and put Brooks at 6
the only bloke who made crucial tackles and 40/20 and made line breaks

Toss up AD and Brooks.

I am sure I seen Bateman at the airport , he was talking to his wife , said something like let’s get to f**** out of dodge, I am not playing with that bunch of ******* 🙄

 

[wet tiger coloured bird]

For Doueihi??

[Tigers_Wests]

I'm a little lost as to why you rating Naden better then AJ means AJ misses out? Of course Naden stays. No way Toa beats AJ for a spot.

I see AJ as a centre option in the backline and with 2 spots only...Naden and Douiehi are ahead of him for now in my opinion. That was why I spoke about Naden. I haven't liked seeing Kepaoa on a wing in the past and would prefer To'a (a fit Maumalo would jump ahead of him though) given the spot.

I’ll back that team but stains was dreadful coming in with a sliding defence causing two try’s. If that was Nofa he would be hung from the nearest tree!!!! I guess it just depends on who u don’t like!
I am happy with wakeham in the 7 but I’d have brooks on the bench for hooker cover. Mind u Doueihi is on thin ice as well. Watching KOE matamua doesn’t look ready he needs more time to get his groove. Pity we can’t put katoga in cause that’s who we need. I watched them several times today coming back to take the kickoffs and they looked flat No zip, which is a concern. Doueihi didn’t look like he wanted to be there.

1. Adam Doueihi

Is this just moving deck chairs on the titanic. I'm not stating it's a bad move but I think until we get at least two out of Brooks, AD and Laurie replaced with class players we are up against it.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

don't mind swapping AD and Laurie and go with
1. AD
6. Laurie

 

[tigermate]

Honestly who gives a sh*t?

We are shuffling deck chairs on the titanic

We are better off losing the next 5 games in a row so they make proper changes like getting rid of Brooks and shifting AD to center.

And ending the benji wearing headphones on the box whilst sheens coaches benji to coach!

That’s better than winning 1 and everyone saying “we’re back “ then losing 3 and then winning 1 and extending brooks contract and then losing 4 …. Repeat cycle

I don't think Brooks was the problem today but I fail to see how we improve without some better players.
