Who do you think should be replacements for these two next week?

I reckon the back line should look something like this:

1.Mckinnon
2.**Brown**
3.Ayshford
4.**Daniella**
5.Utai
6.Marshall
7\. Lui

Many could argue Moltz should be in the centres, but I don't think he is suited to this position and I think Daniella is a better option defensively, give Moltz a few more weeks on the bench and inject him into the game when necessary.

Brown for Tuqiri I think is one that many forumers could agree on. I can't understand why Brown was dropped in the first place, he's probably better than Beau and should have had more game time last year. Even then, I wouldn't mind Beau on the wings, I thought he was reliable last season, had a couple of bad games and soon enough everybody called for him to be dropped.

Totally agree with the two replacements and Moltzen off the bench. Both Daniela and Brown now have a chance to earn a contact for next year especially if players need to be cut to get Adam Blair.
 
Sheens himself said that Brown is unlucky not to be in first grade at the moment. Personally I think Sheens will put Moltzen in the centres with Daniela on the bench. Moltzen can hit a hole and I think he'll work well with Benji on the left edge. Ryan won't be back for a few weeks yet so it's a chance for Brown to cement a spot.
 
I'd like to see those two players come into the squad.
They have the experience and daniella has the pace to fill the void until tiquiri and lawry return.
 
I'd be tempted to stick Mullaney on a wing just for his goal kicking.
I think Daniela is the best centre option. He didnt let anyone down last year when he was given the chance
 
Would prefer Brown in the centers,Daniela to wing with a license to roam and Moltzen stay on the bench as he covers a few positions.
 
I think we need to look at the defensive set up more than attack . Had initially put Moltzen up for centre but think he will be more effective off bench at this stage . Would put Brown in centres and Daniela on wing . With the way Benji and the Robbies are playing that our attack will take care of itself . As we saw in last 10 minutes against Raiders we lookes very fragile after Rowdy and Lote were off .
 
Daniella has to go into the centres and Mitch Brown to the wing. Daniella has more experience for the defensive requirements of playing in the mid field and Brown has the size required for the wing position. With the form Benji is showing, Daniella could be a very explosive go to person. Hard to replace Rowdy and Lote, but I think things might go along okay
 
yeah im hoping daniella in the centres, brown on the wing and moltz still on the bench. i just dunno if moltz would be good enough in defence to defend in the centres so thats why id leave him as the super-sub
 
I think Daniella is certainly the best option for centre and has always proven himself when given an opportunity for the Tigers. As for the wing Id love to see Faleula Finau given a chance however I expect Mitch Brown to be named by Sheens.

If only Lote was out i would say yes to Finau and he was outside Lawrence Not the time to be bringing in inexperienced winger especially against Roostersand put him with a centre he has never played with before

Thats the way I'd go…Daniela in for Lawrence/ Brown in for Lote and keep Moltz on the bench..**.But honestly I'm not a fan of how Sheens has been using Moltz the last 2 weeks....**

This is the thing, Sheens said he's likely to start Moltzen within the next few weeks (a couple of weeks ago). Now with Lawrence and Tuqiri sidelined, I reckon he'll throw him in the centres as a result. Daniela certainly went ok there last year, but he played right centre when Ayshford was injured. I'm not sure how he goes at left centre, unless Sheens does a swap, but Moltzen's combo with Benji cannot be overlooked as many who want him at 7 have stated. With Lui going well at 7 now, I suspect the next best place for Moltzen is in the centres.
 
Hard to say… HOPEFULLY Brown and Daniella are on the same Flank at BRET, I'd hate to see us trying to put a whole new flank combo together. Aysh DIDN'T work on the Left on Saturday.. And seems to be building a nice Combo With U-TAI, So I'd prefer to see that left alone. A new attacking strategy is the way to go.. We beat the (Scripted) Biggest/Best forward pack in the league on Saturday... I can't see why we can't do it to anyone else??
 
Don't why people are suggesting moving Ayshford from the right. Why play with the one side of our backline that is intact?

For mine:

1\. McKinnon
2\. Brown
3\. Ayshford (Right)
4\. Daniela (Left)
5\. Utai

Daniela is a terrific one on one defender with great line speed, should be of some use against the Cocks. Could also run some relief dummy half work late in each half and expose tiring pigs in defence. Although Daniela is a right centre and haven't seen him play on the left yet, I don't believe Moltzen has the confidence to defend in the centres, and I would leave him on the bench for utility value.
 
I wouldnt mind if latu or tagive were thrown into the mix either. Both like to take hit ups and might create more on the wing than brown.
 
Dwyer & Brown…

Brown has played on the left wing prior to arriving at the Tigers.
Dwyer has shown he still has enough pace & this is where he defends normally.

Leave the Right side as it is!!!

Onya CB, I saw Daniela in the trial run some great lines and put a bump on someone… Smashed em into the stands!! His strength surprised me... And his speed is hardly a secret... I CAN'T WAIT!!!
 
Dwyer is maybe a "Bit Big" for centre these days Watto.
He is MASSIVE these days, Def looks to have put on a bit in the OS
