1\. Mckinnon- really makes no mistakes at fullback, and has developed into a great support player.

2\. Fulton- Great lock can run the ball and brings a tonne of discipline.

3\. Galloway- SIZE

4\. Lawrence- Line penetration

5\. Lui- takes alot of attacking preasure of marshall.
 
Its gonna be months before they're all back. We must adapt to life without some of them otherwise there'll be no season left to play for.
 
We need Skando back to help the pack out.

Fitzy would have done better job at fullback than Moltzen. His attempted punch on the bouncing ball in the in goal was just laughable.
 
The most important person missing is Lui, he takes the pressure off Farah and Benji.

Next I would say Lawrence as he has been in awesome form this year with both attack and defense.

Then Galloway, even though he doesnt play enough minutes for my liking, his go forward is sorely missed.
 
I'd be happy to swap Payten for any of the injured players
~Controversial~
 
We have the depth do beat most teams in the comp, its just how Sheens plans his way of playing the games. If wants to continue playing Ashyford on the left when he has been pwning right centre the whole season, GO AHEAD YOU IDIOT!!

As for Payten, we NEED him towards the backend of the season. To me he looks too tired. Rest him now, if we get Fults back, and insert him in towards the end unless all forwards are doing exceptionally well..
 
1\. Lui: Marshall & Farah are taking far too much on without him. They don't trust Miller (as was evident last night,) and Moltzen is still green coming back from his injury.
2\. McKinnon: Would have placed him first except we have a good State Cup back in Meaney and Brown is well versed in the role. We missed Wade Mac's support play last night.
3\. Fulton: Good ball playing second rower with great defensive ethic.
4\. Tuqiri: With Tuqiri and McKinnon back in the side, Brown would be able to hold down the left centre position quite ably until Lawrence's return, giving us back a fairly potent and defensively competent three quarter line.
5\. Lawrence: Obvious reasons. Marshall's go to man out wide with blistering pace and great ability to find the gap and break the line.

I knew there would have to be someone who wanted Skando back some timethis year. I'll join in - let's bring Sirro back too. :blush:
 
Lawrence & Lote, our strike force on the left..
I love the way they rush up in defence. And we all know the destruction they can cause down that side along with marshalls bullet passes..
 
Equal 1: Fulton and Lui; not because they are the best but because their return could let Farah get the surgery he needs. Fulton would go to hooker, where he trained a lot in the off season and Lui can help steer the side around with Farah out.

Next in order: Wade McKinnion (mainly so Moltzen doesn't play at fullback), Lawrence (in the best 3 centres in the game, we miss him in both attack and defence), Galloway (always miss his go forward and his defence is better this year) and the Turqui (great winger and the best we have in the club).
 
For this game:
1\. McKinnon - so the Moltzen rubbish threads can stop.
2\. Lui - combination with Farah and Marshall in attack.
3\. Galloway - forward force.

The others when ready (although we need a candle for Lawrence as Ayshford is our only other 1st grade centre)
 
I think Galloway, Fults, BMM & Moors are MOST important!!
Backs won't do much if our forwards are being owned up the middle…
Get our pack back up to full strength... Then we have Backs lined up from
Lilyfield to Luemeah that will get the job done behinf them!!

I never thought I'd say this, but after considering Lui and Lawry, I'm actually gonna say McKinnon. Why?

Well, it showed against Souths that we managed to cover the injuries well. I know the players we lost up to the Titan's game would rightly walk back in and are real quality, but the whole balance of the side was thrown out by McKinnon's injury.

It pushed Moltzen to fullback and brought a kid in to play the whole game in the number 7\. Whilst Miller was great, he's still learning his trade.

Our attack was thrown completely off kilter and we struggled to score any points.
 
All of them, we are being penalised big time and half of our salary cap is being seen sit on the sidelines during these important win games. The comp is that close and even you need all the troops you can get on the field at once. Injuries stink!!!
 
The 1, 6, 7 and 9 are the four most important positions on the field. Getting Lui and McKinnon back (and ensuring Farah is fit) and having those four positions stable is obviously the most important need for the Tigers right now.

After that I'd say we're missing Lawrence's line breaking ability most. So much of our attach revolves around Marshall and Farah working across field to draw defenders and creating line breaks. But that attack relies on players who can run angles and penetrate the line. Lawrence and Ellis are our best players at filling that role, and we suffered terribly when they were both out against the Roosters.
