Looks like Sironen is definitely on the outer…he is playing NSW cup again

Needs to get his workate up. When he starts making 12+ hitups per game, I'd reconsider him. Containing the Bulldogs in the middle will be the hard part. They destroyed our forwards a few weeks back so it's redemption time. Line speed in defence will be key this week.

I thought he wasn't back until Rd 19 ??
 
The joke for so long was that we were a team with too many hookers and now we find ourselves here…...

Came back from injury last week mate.
 
Best team we could have picked this week Imo.

Not being negative here, would love the win - depends which Tigers team turns up.

However the main thing is "damage control" - it is imperative that we control our for/against numbers. I think we can win enough games to get to the eight but if we don't reduce that deficit - it could be the thing that puts us out.
 
It's ridiculous that we don't have a realistic backup hooker option. Taylor is not a dummy half and as others have rightfully stated our attack is diminished with him there…..Either Liddle or Cherrington should have been picked. Is Edwards doing anything good in NSW Cup to deserve being made 18th man?

I've seen Edwards playing a couple of times in the past 6 weeks & he has been solid, again this is only in NSW cup though so whether he brings that to 1sts is a different matter.
 
if Rankin is out, Hunt or Haleta to FB? As Haleta had issues with bombs, Hunt is probably a beter option, so:
Hunt
Nofoaluma
Simona
Naiqama
Addo-Carr
We shall play Liddle or Cherrington at 9, and certainly not ET or Halatau. :sign:
 
1\. Moses - Cam play a Tedesco role and just pop up in those 3 on 2 cases and use his pace
2\. Nofaluma
3\. Naquima
4\. Simona
5\. Ado-Carr

6\. Lawrence- We need him on that right side giving us really an extra forward and giving the spotlight to Brooks which he usually does well once given that control
7\. Brooks

I believe a line up like this can beat the dogs if they all play well

Liddle is in the Blues 20s squad, can he still play?

No..

Liddle is not in the Blues u20 squad. Same as Felise, only he was named in first grade.

Both are highly likely to play first grade this week. I don't have anything concrete on this but you wouldn't pull a kid from junior Origin for nothing.
 
As much as I dislike putting Lawrence at 6, moving Moses to 1 would be the best option. He plays similar to a fullback anyway, and he started some games in 2014 there and did well (ironically against the Bulldogs). That way, his shocking reads in defence won't be sighted (hopefully) and he can chime in whenever he wants.

Would also like to see how Brooks controls the side without Moses at 6.

Geo has already stated what will happen if Rankin is injured, Hunt will play fullback.
