[MissMeJen]

Moses though :wink: :wink:

 

[Club_Sandwich]

Not many meters for the forwards. Looking "forward" (great pun) to getting Woods back.

Was Grant at the game? What happened to Aloai?

Moses 28 tackles , 1 missed

Good work

Say it again…

Great contributions from the bench...

Willow could you add minutes played please...

 

[MacDougall]

If they drop Addo Carr when Teddy comes back I will freak

 

[stevetiger]

How did Rankin get more metres than Nofo. Our bench was great tonight. Felise is a weapon.

Was Grant at the game? What happened to Aloai?

Grant 132 metres 29 tackles , nothing to knock him for there TW for 39 minutes work

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Semanufagai and Aloiai deserve more game time.

Grant - 132 metres in attack, 29 tackles.

No he wasn't - it was a hologram.

Taylor is starting to use his bench a lot better - 2 props on it and nobody in the front row playing excessive minutes. It's a big improvement on Woods and Grant playing 60 minutes each. The middle is now being kept fresh and they're looking a lot better for it. We don't have impact forwards so the best way to use what we have is to keep up a relentless tempo.

His next job is to fix the defence on the edges - abort the up and in and introduce the slide with an advancing defensive line.

I've been a big fan of Ava since forever, but I think JJ outpointed him pretty comfortably this week and he seems a bit down on form too. Grant stepped up a bit and with Sue moving to the prop rotation it makes for a hard decision for JT. I'm assuming JJ will drop down on age alone, but it's great to have that sort of pressure pushing the boys to work harder. I'm sure JAC will have 1-5 on notice, whether or not he will get picked is another story. Kudos to Lovett too, noticeable improvement since City-Country.
Like Nelson said, shorter spells from our props seems to be working too. I remember early on talk being about Woods, Grant and Sue aiming for 60 minutes each but this seems to be better for them given Sue's impact and my suspicions on Grant's motor.
Moses' defence makes up for his kicking early on, here's hoping Brooks can take a lesson or two about getting his body in front, because he seems to have the better defensive technique of the two when he chooses to use it.

I don't think Aloiai has it in him. I think he is being used correctly now. He comes on and has an impact.

Yep. Taylor is using the bench well now.

I thought last week that Grant should be dropped to make way for Felise. Grant was good last night though.

We have a lot of quality options at prop now.

I couldn't drop Felise at this point. I reckon he has been great.

 

[Tigertigertiger]

All the boys had a dig last night which was great to see, now they need to do that on a weekly basis

Tough decisions coming up for the coach, JAC needs to be in that team but who makes way, also JJ had a crack from the bench and is getting better every game

 

[larrycorowa]

Jj drops off when woods comes back. We don't want to burn him out as he could be a real goodun. I love his attitude has a real red hot go for a young prop.
