that'd be mine too, would potentially drop Mikaele as well.

 

[JC99]

Doueihi at 6, Mbye at 14, Talau on the wing. Rest of the team stays the same probably, wouldn't expect whole sale changes just yet

Yes, I can see merit in the changes you have made Willow. MCK has got some offloads and elusiveness in attack. We were a lot of the same in the forwards today, with the exception of Lucy. Talau cannot make as many mistakes as big Joey, surely, and I think he adds more in attack?? I like Simpkins on the bench as well.

Yep Garner was awful but can't be dropped after 1 game.
BJ made some bad errors but he also showed why he should be in the team.

 

[clontarfkid]

Garner and Joey L were as usual lacking discipline,which cost the team plenty of momentum.
We have replacements,so now is the time to set standards and take a peek at alternatives.Neither will be with us next year tbh
Liddle got overworked in defence,and had nothing to offer.....so Simpkins also worth taking a look at in 14
Brooks and Mbye offered very little,nor Mikaele,but u cant drop half the team after round one.
Madge still has significant challenges in the spine..
BTW,ref did us no favors,but didnt cost us the game

Seyfarth was cited a couple of times today - likely to be suspended.

 

[Snake]

Packer out
Garner out
Joey should be but.
Mbye will be 14 can cover multiple positions
Simpkins will note play top grade for a while way to green

Mck is rubbish but probably has a good game in him somewhere.


Love bj when good but it’s been 18 months now

Mbye leaves a lot to be desired

Our depth is perhaps not as good as we think it is but Garner has to go after today and BJ, well yeah, he hasn't been good for at least 18 months or longer.

Madden 5/8, Doeihie to replace Joey in the centres, Tui at lock, Simkin at hooker and given time we will have a hot side.

14 Stefano
15 MCK
16 Mbye
17 Mikaele

I would almost consider Mbye in the centres and BJ in reserve grade.

Geez we are thin in the backrow. I think shortly we are going to have to consider playing Simpkins or Ofa there of upgrading Tuilagi.

Cannot persevere with Garner & MCK is not the answer

Doueihi is pretty much our best player and is absolutely first player picked (at 6). We would have been a lot better today if he was there. Madden is nowhere near ready for first grade.

Agree re: Simpkin
