Predicted team v Roosters?

[Joel Helmes]

I’d put Luciano at lock as I think it would create more opportunities for Laurie around mid-field.

Twal bench and Joe O in second row with Stefano starting.

 

[das tigers]

I'd like to see

6.Talau
7.Douehi

I feel silly continually expecting different results from Brooks.

That's to start with...there are 3 others i'd be looking at dropping too.

GARNER was my nomination for PLAYER UNDER MOST PRESSURE TO HOLD HIS POSITION this year
he did nothing yesterday to change my opinion
thou he may retain his position due to only being early in the season however could be under injury cloud?
With AD back straight to 6
AJ out still learning can do that in CC
TOMMY T to the wing
Mbye to 14

Probably how they will run out against the chooks. But seriously this team is going to send me to an early grave.

Twal bench and Joe O in second row with Stefano starting.

Only downside of this is Joe O to the second row. He has stated that he didn’t like getting pushed around playing front row and back row from week to week at the donkeys.
But LL at lock, I’d be happy with.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Moving LL means we go from 1 decent second row forward to 0.
From all reports the middle was fine yesterday?

Yep, think it’s too early to make a lot of changes after 1 game.
Though some might be on notice?

I wonder how LL would react to his brother being dropped (if it came to that)?

 

[TSupps05]

A good time to get the chooks personally
No Radley
No Chrichton
Possibly no Friend and their utility got injured

And we get Douehi back

Makes Musgrove’s penalty seem harsh imo?

 

[The-moP]

Yes BJ had a bad game .. but how many times did we see good early ball out to centre and wingers .. ?? We have 2 centres who can be such destructive runners out wide if they get good early ball .. that goes the same for Nofa .. !! Moses never looked out wide and therefore both BJ and JTJ came in looking for the ball .. NOT their game hitting the ball up the middle .. !!

BJ out wide with the ball will most time draw 2 or 3 defenders in on him ..

JTJ out wide with the ball has the pace and strength to beat most defenders .. !!

17 Jake Simpkin or Moses Mbye

Liddle and Garner another chance and would drop Joey as I think Tommy adds more to the centre then him. I would also like to see Jake Simpkin get a spot as having a fast fresh hooker come on in the 2nd half would create space and could even have both on at the same time if the going well.

 

[izotope]

Surely there is no way we can play Garner again. Must have some other second row options.
Assuming Talau hasn't trained in that spot, looked good in his small stint and has gone big.

**Ideally i would drop** Garner and BJ & AJ **Realistically** He will probably only drop 1 max after all the team change criticism and think it has to be Garner.

If we drop everyone who has a bad game, we will send out the U16’s by R5.

Yep, no need to panic. Garner has to go as he probably shouldn't have even been there in the first place. BJ and JTJ have to be given another chance with AD back, Brooks the same. Although Brooks has to be on short notice.

I'm calling it now upset game of the round!!
