My concern with AD starting at 13 is if he will do the hard carries required in the first 20 to set the platform. Given he is showing his wares for a contract let's hope that he does.

Prefer him coming off the bench.

Prefer him coming off the bench.

That would haved been my preference too - but not our clipboard so we live in hope!

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah, they're good numbers but its just my impression of the six games I've seen him play. Lots of third man in, no strong shoulders and some arm grabbing.

Plenty of decoy runs, interested in post contact metres, hopefully they're good.

And it will be interesting to see if he gets picked for England

Thats how i see him....he is reactive not a proactive player..often a passenger just watching.
He has a few fancy plays, flick passes here and there but hes pretty not tough.
Never seen him put a shot on an opponent...very underwhelming

My only problem with this week’s team list is Bird. I suppose he provides some utility cover off the bench but I’d prefer to see Kit or Hunt instead of him.

 

[weststigers]

I think AD has all the skill to be a great lock in attack, if he applies himself and works on his game there - he could be a real weapon.

IMO he's more a lock than any other position.

Would love to keep him here if he's willing to play there.

He's a good running and passing threat in the 20 which is what Luai lacks a bit.

As long as he doesn't try and ball play too much from 13 beacause I thought we looked a bit cramped when he went there.

Bird needs another 10 kgs he looks like he'd get thrown around in jersey flegg.

 

[Telltails]

The real problem is the Titans forwards - and looking more of a problem when looking at our forwards list.

Good call I Don't know why the F they are persisting with Bird either.
Thought having Kit or Hunt would be advantage at a packed LO the crowd would lift one of them with an adrenalin shot.

This team is Penrith Mark 2

Looking forward to seeing AD at lock.
Is Bula back next week?

 

[Camel2281]

The backrow named this week should indicate how badly we need a lock and another backrower in addition to KPP.

Don't forget Samuela will be back and Douehi may be a revelation at lock. I do agree we need at least one more signing in either of those roles though, just not probably both. I think if we signed another top 2nd rower, Samuela would make a great lock

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

So we're taking the field with 11 players plus the worst pair of second rowers to be found on a football field since 1908.
If you go and watch Summer Hill under 11's v Ashfield under 11's you'll see 4 more skilled second rowers ply their trade.

I think its more about changing our approach to how we handle the first 20. Recently we have been bashing ourselves through the middle and getting dominated. The key to Doueihi at lock early on will be to provide some space so we don't get bashed. It should mean more work for our egde backrowers helping us get momentum. Its a shame Sam is out, but we cant control that. Turuva, Skelton, Staines and May need to work hard early in our sets.

Hopefully Benji is thinking this, becasue if he has moved AD in the middle to start the game and we simply continue to play straight up the middle with no variation then we are stuffed.

Where is Hunt , of all games last week and this week we face big body teams , Hunt on first half for first 15 to soften them up make them work hard to stop us ,He is a big body we need on the field ,

Reminds of me when we signed Blair. I started watching his games and seen a similar thing. Hopefully KPP is just looking at the grass on the other side of the fence, and struggling with dedication. The grass at concord will have no salt or sand it.

Hunt is a benchy, not a starter.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

The Gold Coast team appears to be at full strength.
On paper they look mighty imposing 👀
